Today’s Horse Racing Tip

STARMAN is running as the 5/6 odds-on favourite to claim the win on the weekend in this big Group 1 contest* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on 3rd September 2021 at William Hill).

He came firing out of the blocks this season with back to back wins. Victory in the July Cup at Newmarket really sealed his status at the top.

Starman was not seen to the best effect at Deauville a month ago on his latest, the soft conditions not helping him.

The ground is much firmer for Saturday’s effort which will just strengthen his claims.

CREATIVE FORCE has been flourishing for Charlie Appleby this season, including taking a four-timer.

A recent powerful second-place finish at the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood confirms form and he brings strong place claims.

The other that we are leaning to for the shortlist is EMARAATY ANA who has picked up his form recently.

He went close in the Winter Stakes at York on his latest effort, which followed a score at Hamilton in July.

Place claims are there for Emaraaty Ana in what looks like a very evenly-matched field behind Starman.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

HUKUM is the one to beat in this contest at Kempton.

He is the 8/11 odds-on favourite in the September Stakes* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on 3rd September 2021 at William Hill).

He is sitting on a hattrick after picking up a superb victory in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury on his latest.

That was an impressive victory, Hukum streaking clear by almost four lengths.

That’s three wins in his last four runs now and this smart colt looks the way to go.

OUTBOX could be the one to spring a surprise in terms of producing a big challenge to the favourite. Tactics could be the key thing here.

If Outbox is allowed to get to the front easily, then he could make a big mark in the contest.

He has won three of eleven runs this year and could pose a threat.

HAMISH returns from an absence of 14 months. His last run was in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot when he took fourth.

He is a classy one, but this is a big absence to overcome and that, combined with him having to take to the Polytrack. If he puts it all together there could be a threat.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

CHALK STREAM could be a big player here at 13/2 in the Lavazza Stakes* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on 3rd September 2021 at William Hill).

He has won his last two, the latest of those happening at Ripon in a handicap 26 days ago. He stuck to the task well.

Chalk Stream comes up 8lb now, which is a big rise for him, making this chance a lot tougher. But his claims can’t be ignored.

WAHRAAN is another in big form at the moment. He missed out on a hat trick last time out at York. He didn’t get the rub of the green.

The fact that he stands on a mark of 96 once again gives him a big chance in this. The handicapper doesn’t look to have caught up with him.

CHAMPAGNE PIAFF has a chance as well after taking a win a couple of weeks ago. That was in a Windsor handicap.

He had plenty to spare in that contest, which should put him firmly in the mix for this one.

Scot’s Grace 7/2
Nymphadora 9/2

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

SCOT’S GRACE takes preference for this contest at 7/2* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on 3rd September 2021 at William Hill).

There was a course and distance victory for her a couple of months ago on her debut. That was an impressive run.

Connections clearly trust her as she takes a big step up in class for Saturday.

But she had plenty in hand on that debut here two months ago and could feature strongly.

HIERARCHY still looks to have more to come. He has won his first two racetrack appearances, victories at Wolverhampton and Salisbury. There’s probably more to come.

FEARLESS ANGEL warrants some respect, as well as she, moves over to the all-weather.

She opened with a win on her debut and then went very well for a fifth-place finish in a Listed race at Newbury 22 days ago.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There are a few with some strong claims in this one. PASSIONOVA takes preference as a horse racing tip at 11/2* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on 3rd September 2021 at William Hill).

Back to back novice wins at Lingfield and Newmarket saw a steep rise in form from her, and she nearly completed the hattrick.

Passionova was second in a 1m Listed Haydock race on her latest, which was a month ago.

Now coming into handicapping, Passionova should feature very strongly.

SUNRISE VALLEY is another that looks very good. She looks to be potentially ahead of the handicapper as things stand here.

She made it two wins from three runs with a score at Chelmsford City 25 days ago as a novice. That was a 1m contest.

RISING STAR could have a say in this one as she has been moving along in good, consistent form, including a win at Musselburgh in July.

There was a good third-place finish from 7lb higher at York a couple of weeks ago. Rising Star stays at the same mark and rates a danger.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are going with a 7/1 shot TAHITIAN PRINCE as our horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on 3rd September 2021 at William Hill).

There has been very good form from him and he has course form to boot. Former C&D winner Tahitian Prince has won twice here at Kempton.

He just missed out on a hat-trick at Doncaster a month ago, but it was a good run, seeing the Richard Hannon gelding continue in good heart.

THUNDERCLAP should have a say, even though this is easily the toughest assignment yet. He comes in after back to back courses and distance wins.

Thunderclap comes up 6lb and he still looks to have a little room in the handicap to make a bold challenge. He’s on the up and may be up to the extra challenge.

The final shortlist selection for horse racing betting is EXCEEDINGLY REGAL who looks to build on a win over course and distance a couple of weeks ago.

That was a hard-fought win for Exceedingly Regal who won it by a head. Saturday’s run is more demanding and he also comes up 2lb.
