Todays Racing Tip – HIGHWAYGREY
Time & Track – 2.10 Haydock (06/06)
Best Odds – 4/1 @ William Hill
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Improved form on second start in a handicap at large odds when beaten a length in second over a mile and he filled the same position when upped to 1m2f on penultimate start. He completely fluffed the start here a fortnight ago and probably conceded over ten lengths but kept on strongly and asserted clear in a manner that would suggest the further step up in trip would suit. He was mostly under a hands and heels ride in the closing stages and with further progress a possibility over a new trip, the 5lb rise may not stop him landing a course double.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – BENADALID
Time & Track – 3.20 Ripon (06/06)
Best Odds – 9/1 @ Bet365
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Needs to be forgiven a lacklustre run at York when last seen but has had three-weeks to reover and is back down to his last winning mark of 83, which came in a class 2 event over C&D last July. The softer ground shouldn’t be a problem as he’s gone close on this terrain before and he was also a good second over 1m6f from 4lb higher so if it becomes more about stamina he’s certainly shown he can stay.

Todays Racing Tip – VAN GERWAN
Time & Track – 5.00 Hamilton (06/06)
Best Odds – 4/1 @ Paddy Power
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – His last win came in September from a 2lb higher mark and he’s in fact 4lb below his highest winning perch which was achieved at Pontefract over this trip on soft ground. This six-year old seems best when there’s some give in the ground so his recent three-quarters-of-a-length third on good-to-firm stands the gelding in good stead ahead of the return to a slower surface, he wore cheek-pieces for the first-time on that occasion (kept on again) and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa looks very positive. Was hoping for a slightly bigger price but this is a slight drop in class and with conditions to suit he should be dangerous off this current mark.
Result – Lost
