Today’s Horse Racing Tips
Todays Racing Tip – AUNTY ANN
Time & Track – 3.50 Cheltenham (18/04)
Best Odds – 9/2 @ Betfair
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – This mare put up some good performances last summer/autumn when winning easily at Uttoxeter (3m soft) and then in a higher grade on her penultimate start at Wincanton over 3m1f (good-to-firm). She ended her campaign with a good fourth in the listed Badger Ales Trophy at the same venue and if ready after 159-days off she’s up to winning this from a pound lower against weaker opposition, regular pilot Jordan Nailor claims a handy 7lb again.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – SOCIETY RED
Time & Track – 4.00 Ripon (18/04)
Best Odds – 9/2 @ Betfair
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Three of his four wins have come in handicap company and although on a 5lb higher mark than for his most recent in June last year this five-year old arrives here on the same mark as when beaten half-a-length at Pontefract last week on second outing this campaign. He won on third start last season and could well do so again with conditions to suit. Has won twice over this distance and wasn’t beaten far behind now 116-rated Defoe and 108-rated Ajman King in separate handicaps back in 2017. This is a drop in class from the last day and any improvement on last week’s run would see this gelding go close.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – ZABEEL PRINCE
Time & Track – 4.10 New Market (18/04)
Best Odds – 11/2 @ Sky Bet
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Lightly-raced six-year old who looks to have been placed well previously. He landed a hat-trick after a gelding operation which included two handicap wins over a mile. He won a listed event at Doncaster after a 154-day absence in good style but may have found the Lockinge a bit too hot to handle afterwards. Again returned from a break with a close second behind the re-opposing Mustrashry and is 2lb better off here and also has the added advantage of a better draw with the stalls on the far rail.
Result – Won +5.5
