Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The first of our horse racing tips today is going to be TWILIGHT CALLS who does look to be the pick of the bunch here at 5/2* (betting odds recorded 22:51 GMT on May 30th 2021 at William Hill).

He arrives on the back of a win at Doncaster a month ago. That was in a novice effort and it was a really easy score over 6f.

So with that positive reappearance under his belt, he has to be fancied for more.

There has been nothing but constant progress from Twilight Calls so far in his young career.

He steps into handicaps for the first time here and looks to be on a fair enough mark from which to launch a massive challenge.

As for the rest of the pack, the most likely players are NELSON GAY and UNCLE JUMBO.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We would be willing to have a look at 7/1 shot PETTOCHSIDE for this* (betting odds recorded 22:51 GMT on May 30th 2021 at William Hill).

He is a course and distance winner and he arrives in some cracking form for this sprint handicap.

It has been two wins from three runs this year for Pettochside. The latest of those was at Bath 10 days ago and he showed a lot of improvement to get it.

There has been a stiff 6lb rise for him on the back of his upward curve. However, he looks to be in good heart right now. Pettochside carries a 5lb claimer too.

This is a very good contest and veteran JAWWAAL showed enough on his latest run to be in with a shout. SPOOF is a two-time course and distance winner and is another to keep on side.

Valence D’aumont 5/2
Tonto’s Spirit 4/1
Leapaway 11/2
King Alfonso 11/2

Monsieur Co 11/1
Ardera Cross 14/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We have to stick with the favourite in this one. That’s VALENCE D’AUMONT who is a 5/2 quote* (betting odds recorded 22:51 GMT on May 30th 2021 at William Hill).

He looks good enough to land this one as he has been in cracking form. It’s been three wins in his last four now and there could be more to come.

The latest of his wins was at Kelso 26 days ago where he dug it out by a nose. Valence D’aumont really looks up for it at the moment.

The principal threat in the contest could be veteran KING ALFONSO who makes his reappearance run. He went well to score at the course and distance last summer.

He’s interesting after an 8-month break and TONTO’S SPIRIT may be good enough to fill out the place in this one. He ran well in a flat contest three weeks ago.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are pulling towards FIRE AWAY as our 7/2 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 22:51 GMT on May 30th 2021 at William Hill).

He made on a move back to hurdling at Worcester 10 days ago and should be on the radar.

Fire way improved massively after switching to the fences last season and just in March he scored a hat trick. That was completed at Catterick.

He is match fit for this after that recent Worcester run and can’t be dismissed. Obviously TEMPLEPARK is another of the big players.

His yard is bang in form and had a nice reappearance run to take second at Kempton 42 days ago. Still, we think that he’s worth taking on in this competitive fixture.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is one of the more wide open contests that we are looking at for the day. At the head of the market is HIGHFIELD PRINCESS who looked excellent at Haydock on Friday. She’s under a 5lb penalty.

BAASHIR is another to consider after just getting touched off at Nottingham on his latest. We are going a little longer at 11/1 LETHAL TALENT* (betting odds recorded 22:51 GMT on May 30th 2021 at William Hill).

She claimed a good third place finish in a course and distance handicap 25 days ago, looking very lively in that one.

That was the first run for a new yard for Lethal Talent who looked rejuvenated. She is pretty handy on the polytrack and could have a good say in this contest.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

HARTSWOOD at 6/1 has the most appeal for this Redcar action* (betting odds recorded 22:51 GMT on May 30th 2021 at William Hill).

He is coming up on a trip off the same mark as his decent place finish in the Knavesmire at York 18 days ago.

This is the first time at this distance for Hartswood, but he looks to have a good chance after staying on well last time out.

FAYLEY goes for last year’s winner Willie Haggas and is probably going to be in the mix. He is looking for more after a second place at Ripon last time out.

The other to consider for the shortlist is HIGHWAYGREY who comes up 3lb in stronger races than the one in which he won at Doncaster 37 days ago. But he can’t be counted out.
