Today’s Horse Racing Tip

LORD RIDDIFORD has to be taken seriously in this contest at a quote of 7/4* (betting odds recorded 20:24 GMT on August 5th 2021 at William Hill).

He collected a good win in a strong field at Goodwood on his latest run. If the ground happens to soften up then his chances will increase.

But regardless, Lord Riddiford has shown that he can deliver on turf and as he’s 2lb well-in for this one, having taken four wins in his last runs, he is the pick.

As a challenger, JABBAROCKIE should be right there. He needs a bit of a bounceback after failing to get going in the Temple Stakes at Haydock.

But there were possible excuses and that was a hattrick chance he had set himself up for.

One more to consider for the shortlist is SUNDAY SOVEREIGN who had a nice return to form when he carded a fourth-place finish at Goodwood on his latest.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

MYTILDA certainly warrants some respect for this one, after scoring well on a course and distance trip recently.

This is a tougher race though, but she certainly looks to have enough in the tank to challenge.

Our racing tip is LADY RAEBURN however at 9/2* (betting odds recorded 20:24 GMT on August 5th 2021 at William Hill).

The pace in this one could play to her strengths. There was a lot of promise delivered by her on her debut at Hamilton and will likely go even better.

FAST RESPONSE is the other selection for the shortlist.

She has shown plenty of pace this season on a couple of runs, including landing a win. The drop back to 5f could be the right move.

Wise Eagle 9/4
Dark Jedi 10/3
Euro Implosion 9/2
Bodyline 9/2
Glasses Up 8/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

DARK JEDI has to rate a threat in horse racing betting at 10/3* (betting odds recorded 20:24 GMT on August 5th 2021 at William Hill).

He enters on the back of a career-best win at Ripon three weeks ago. There has been a rise of 3lb for him on the back of that one.

Dark Jedi has the staying power to get himself firmly in this one for trainer Tim Easterby.

GLASSES UP is another of those worth considering for the shortlist here, although he deals with a slightly tough 5lb rise.

That was because of a positive return to form when beaten Wise Eagle at course and distance twelve days ago.

It is WISE EAGLE that also commands a lot of respect after coming on leaps and bounds for a new year.

The cheekpieces are one for the first time and with five course and distance wins under his belt, he’s an obvious big player.

State Of Bliss 5/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a good competitive field and it’s BOSS POWER that just gets the nod as the 9/4 favourite in racing odds* (betting odds recorded 20:24 GMT on August 5th 2021 at William Hill).

He will have to shrug off a 4lb rise after winning at Kempton on his latest run. That was 37 days ago and it saw Boss Power record his second win this season from four runs.

MAKRAM rates an obvious danger after returning to winning ways with a score at Sandown a month ago. He looked as if he had something to spare in that one.

There’s also a 4lb rise for him to deal with on Friday as well as a longer trip.

ZABEEL CHAMPION gives weight to all of these runners. But earlier this season he delivered a hattrick, completing that on the Rowley Course.

He wasn’t at his best at Haydock on his latest run, but there were excuses in that one.

19:08 Newmarket Fillies’ Handicap Today’s Horse Racing Tips & Odds

Princess Nadia 11/10
Brunnera 2/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

All three of those in this small field have decent claims. BRUNNERA is going to be the pick at 2/1* (betting odds recorded 20:24 GMT on August 5th 2021 at William Hill).

That’s because she has won over course and distance. That win happened on her reappearance run and her follow up was good too.

Brunnera was excellent to take a second-place finish in a strong Listed fixture here at Newmarket.

PRINCESS NADIA broke her maiden convincingly with a score at Newbury on her third racetrack appearance. She’ll have a lot to offer in handicaps.

DEEP SNOW won her reappearance. She was a good second-place finisher on her handicap debut at Salisbury last month.

That was after opening the season with a win, taking her tally to two wins in four racetrack appearances.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

DANCINGINTHEWOODS has to be the way to go in horse racing betting at 9/4* (betting odds recorded 20:24 GMT on August 5th 2021 at William Hill).

He was excellent once again in picking up a victory two weeks ago at course and distance. That was a return to his best.

It’s only a 2lb rise that Dancinginthewoods gets for that success so he is likely to be well in the thick of things.

ABATE is sitting on a hat-trick and rates a threat in this contest. He was under penalty a week ago at course and distance and just made it all to land an impressive win.

With him being in good heart, Abate rates the big danger to the favourite as he returns under a 5lb penalty.

As for a place contender that could be BEYOND EQUAL who has looked competitive recently.

He claimed a win on his penultimate run and followed up with a third-place finish from 6lb higher a month later.
