Today’s Horse Racing Tips
Todays Racing Tip – HUMBLE GRATITUDE
Time & Track – 1.20 Haydock Park (11/08)
Best Odds – 9/2 @ Ladbrokes
Stake – 3pt win
Analysis – Won here three starts back over seven-furlongs when staying on nicely at the line and a recent second placed effort in a higher grade at Chester over the extended seven suggested that stepping up to a mile will suit. He goes on various ground though this quicker surface will probably suit on first run over this longer trip and he’s been left on the same mark of 86 for that recent close second, 5lb higher than winning here back in June. Ben Curtis (1/1 on this gelding) takes over from apprentices and he should go close if seeing out the trip now dropped back into class 4 company.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – LAKE VOLTA
Time & Track – 4.20 Newmarket (11/08)
Best Odds – 11/2 @ Ladbrokes
Stake – 2pt win
Analysis – Only victory over this seven-furlong trip came in a listed event back in June at Epsom on soft ground when bolting up by over four-lengths. The handicapper has dropped him a pound for a solid third placed effort in this grade at Newbury last month and the form of that race has been boosted by both the first and fourth who have come out and won since. The forecasted slower ground will suit this three-year old who also has the added advantage of weight-for-age allowance in his favour.

Todays Racing Tip – BRAES OF LOCHALSH
Time & Track – 8.35 Ayr (11/08)
Best Odds – 14/1 @ William Hill
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Has ran over this C&D six times, accumulating a record of 3-2-5-6-5-1 and stays further than this so it’ll be an added bonus if there is a strong gallop on offer here. The slightly easier ground is what’s needed so any further rain will be good. He was beaten only two-lengths in a class 4 contest at the end of last month and has now taken quite a drop into class 6 company. He’s dangerously handicapped on best form still sitting 15lb below his highest winning perch and looks worthy of a punt at large odds (Gordon Elliot has an odds-on favourite who won at Musselburgh on Friday so may not run).
Result – Lost
