Today’s Horse Racing Tip

HIGHEST GROUND looks a very strong player in this one and we think that he is the way to go as a 2/1 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway).

He was last seen in October when he didn’t get things together in soft ground at Newmarket. But that can be scratched off because back on firmer stuff he should be so much better.

Trainer Micahel Stoute has won this race in the last three years and so that’s another huge plus for Highest Ground.

He’s wonderfully progressive and before being hampered by that soft ground at Newmarket he was on the up.

Last June he beat WALDKONIG and looks good enough to overturn his loss in the Dante to THUNDEROUS as well.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a wide-open field and in it, we are going with SEVEN BROTHERS as our horse racing tip at 5/1* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway).

On his final run of last season, he was at York for the Gimcrack and that was too big of an ask for him at the time.

Now he comes into handicapping on a fairly decent mark actually, that should give him a very good chance at the score on Friday.

Some coming down in grade and from a yard in form, Seven Brothers piques plenty of interest. He won his first two starts last year and he has been gelded during his break as well.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We only have a small field to look at for this intriguing Group 2 contest. There is a clear market leader in PALACE PIER to the tune of 4/9* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway).

So that does take the shine off the race just a little bit because we can’t see him getting beaten either.

Palace Pier is a top-class performer at the mile distance and that was just franked time and again last season.

Last season he won a couple of Group 1 fixtures at Royal Ascot and at Deauville. He was last seen in the Queen Elizabeth II in which he was third but had excuses.

That saw his unbeaten record go, but the ground here is going to be far more suitable to his usual standards. Palace Pier is head and shoulders above the rest of the field.

KHUZAAM looks to be the obvious contender in this one as he is sitting on a hattrick. He was last seen scoring on the all-weather three weeks ago at Lingfield.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are rolling with 15/8 shot KAKAMORA in this contest* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway).

He seems to have the right profile and form to pick up a win in this contest. He is looking to secure a double after wining at Huntingdon a month ago.

This will be the handicap bow for Kakamora and he looks to be extremely well treated for it. Considering that he is coming up on the trip, a light mark gives him a great chance.

There has been good consistent form from him, taking a couple of place finishes before that win at Huntingdon.

The big threat is GUNSIGHT RIDGE without question, as he comes into action for the first time with a tongue-tie.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are getting towards that time of year when some big flat action is going to be kicking into gear. There is an interesting field in this one and there are a lot of decent claims in this one.

Most of the runners are making their debuts as a three-year-old. We are going with 11/1 e/w shot RECOVERY RUN.

We are going with our selection as he was a course winner as a juvenile and he finished in the top two in all six runs that he had.

So he had a lot more time on the track than most of those who he opposes in this one.

He finished off his juvenile campaign with an excellent runners-up spot at Newmarket in the Zetland Stakes. Recovery Run has a chance.

The others that aren’t easily passed over are IBIR and ETONIAN in this contest.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There are a lot of familiar faces in this contest and most know each other pretty well. It’s a very good strong field we have here too.

We are going with ZAMBELLA as our horse racing tip at 3/1* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway).

She completed a hattrick earlier this season, taking a victory in her first three goes in listed company (mares’).

Zambella could not complete her effort at the Cheltenham Festival in the Mares’ Chase but looked as if she was shaping well for a run at the money places.

There is a lot to like about her as we just think that big threat DAME DE COMPAGNIE was flat out disappointing on her Cheltenham effort.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

Can we see a way past 13/8 shot ARHTUR’S RUEBEN in this contest?* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway). No.

He collected a win here at Chepstow in March and rattled the crossbar on a follow-up effort at Huntington. So he is just arriving in top form.

Following this Arthur’s Reuben will be going up 5lb in the ratings, so the handicapper is now after him. But off this mark, he looks the package to back.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

INN THE BULL genuinely looks the one to beat in this contest, so we are sticking with him as our 9/4 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 00:42 GMT on April 21st 2021 at Betway).

He does get a penalty of 7lb but that’s totally wiped out because of a 7lb claimer taking over on his back to compensate.

The eight-year-old looks like the way to go after easing to a win at Huntingdon last time out. That was scored comfortably enough to suggest that he is going to go close again.
