PLATINUMCARD is likely to be a strong contender in this fixture as he has been in good shape lately.

Having gone up 10lb for his latest run, he still looked in decent form taking fourth place at Hamilton three weeks ago.

That saw Platinumcard miss out on a four-timer and he should still have a lot to bring to the table down on a trip.

TOMMY G is another that has been in good nick as of late. There is also strong course form behind him, Tommy G having won seven times at Ayr.

He turned out quickly after a fifth place finish at Haydock last time out, having been well in contention there. It did confirm that he has the stamina for this trip.

The main selection for horse racing betting in the fixture is CHICHESTER. He has performed well the last twice at Newcastle on this trip.

Earlier in this season, there was a score at Carlisle for him and Chichester should be right in the thick of things on Thursday.

Tip: CHICHESTER 13/2 * (odds recorded 17:06 GMT on 15th September 2021 at Bet365)

Race Preview

The favourite CHOCOYA is hard to oppose in this handicap effort as she looks to follow up on a recent victory.

Chocoya landed a score at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago, really looking a different beast on the switch to handicapping.

She has performed before at higher levels than this during the course of the year, and she looks as if she will fully be in the frame.

MAY SONIC isn’t likely to be far away in this one. This race looks to be a better fit for him than his recent run at York was on the turf.

So back on the all-weather is likely to help him out and get back on track. There have been three AW victories for May Sonic this year, one of them at course and distance.

INVEIGLE comes down on a trip which should give him a little bit of a boost. He comes in unexposed on the all-weather but has scored before at Chelmsford City.

Inveigle is respected and is a lively outsider for horse racing betting.

Tip: CHOCOYA 6/4* (odds recorded 17:06 GMT on 15th September 2021 at Bet365)

Race Preview

SILENT FLAME gets a handy draw at Pontefract on Thursday and is likely to rate as a big danger. She arrived after a good third place at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago.

There have been three wins in ten runs from Silent Flame this year, the most recent of those happening at Salisbury on her penultimate last month. Another good account looks likely.

CRAZY LUCK can’t be counted out of this at all. She has been right in the frame in each of her last three, putting together a run of second-place finishes.

Crazy Luck was a little unlucky not to pick up a score on her latest run at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago and has had the beating of Silent Flame recently too.

Another option for horse racing betting is ZIM BABY who returns from a little break. She appears to be on a very good mark from which to launch a bid.

If she’s allowed to get to the front early then Zim Baby is likely to have a chance.

Tip: CRAZY LUCK 11/4* (odds recorded 17:06 GMT on 15th September 2021 at Bet365)

Race Preview

We go down in class here and up in the number of declared runners as we dig through a big field at Pontefract.

WYNDFORD arrives in very good form and was a good second-place finisher at Musselburgh three weeks ago. He couldn’t reel in a rival that managed to get a jump on him.

But there was, regardless, a strong finish from him and from 2lb higher he looks as if he will arrive competitively.

CHOCOLATE BOX was third over course and distance last time, with FLINT HILL ahead of him on the day there.

Those two both look evenly matched and there’s no reason why either couldn’t put together a similar kind of performance to get close.

But Chocolate Box has been boosted by carrying a 3lb claimer, which may be able to see him turn the tables on that rival.

VICTORIANO is another with a strong shout in this competitive field.

He is respected as he comes back up in trip following a strong effort at Catterick three weeks ago, where a young one caught him late on.

Tip: CHOCOLATE BOX 6/1* (odds recorded 17:06 GMT on 15th September 2021 at Bet365)

Race Preview

PRINCE ALEX has big claims for this one and collected a victory on his penultimate race, his first for a new yard.

That happened in a field of 12 at Goodwood 47 days ago, so he does return after a nice break for this effort.

Prince Alex is a good competitive horse, usually up for a good scrap.

WHITEHAVEN looks as if he should be able to give a good account of himself.

A second place at Haydock on his latest saw him finish well ahead of the rest of the field. Whitehaven also has a previous course win to his name.

THE TRADER is another that needs to be taken seriously under the same mark. He was last seen 12 days ago battling to a good fourth at Haydock in a handicap.

Tip: PRINCE ALEX 5/2* (odds recorded 17:06 GMT on 15th September 2021 at Bet365)

Race Preview

The final race for today’s horse racing betting is at Yarmouth, which looks like being a competitive handicap.

PISTOLETTO has been given an extra 4lb to work with after picking up a victory at Chelmsford City on his latest.

That saw him snap a long winless run of form. He was handled well at Chelmsford City and may be worth revisiting as he looks to back it up.

TITIAN looks like a potentially good one. He was second on his reappearance at Beverley 19 days ago, just getting touched off by one that was race fit.

But Titan, who is unexposed, should have even more to offer this time around as he strips fitter for action.

FOREST FALCON got off the mark in handicapping on his latest run, that score happening at Carlisle three weeks ago.

That looked like a bit of a breeze for him and now even with a 5lb rise from the assessor, Forest Falcon warrants respect.

Tip: TITIAN 4/1* (odds recorded 17:06 GMT on 15th September 2021 at Bet365)
