Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There really hasn’t been anything wrong with the form of EL BORRACHO to warrant looking beyond him as our horse racing tip.

He is a quote of 9/4 to land the score* (betting odds recorded 20:18 GMT on August 25th 2021 at William Hill).

El Brorracho has been in the top three in all five efforts this season, including a win at Worcester on his chase debut.

After back-to-back second-place finishes in chasing to back that up, he was last seen on a switch back to the hurdles.

He didn’t quite get it together over the smaller stuff, but El Borracho warrants plenty of respect on a return to the fences.

FISHER GREEN lost his jockey last time out. But he could be worth another chance and gets in as our other shortlist selection.

He just looked to be trying a bit too hard at Perth 30 days ago, but there is still ability there.

HASANKEY undid a lot of good work at Stratford on his latest run. A mistake late on over the fences in that one saw him miss a golden opportunity for a score.

Regardless he looks to be settling into life in chasing this season.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We think there is some interest in COUNTISTER at 6/1 in horse racing betting for Thursday* (betting odds recorded 20:18 GMT on August 25th 2021 at William Hill).

That is because she produced a much more encouraging run at Uttoxeter on her latest, which was a month ago.

It was a fourth-place finish for Countister there and given that she’s come down the weights a long way now, combined with a positive move up in trip, she warrants some respect.

DO NO WRONG looks like being a big player for this contest as well as he also comes up on a trip.

He switches to handicapping and has looked good so far over the hurdles. Do No Wrong won on his hurdles debut at Cartmel last month.

The other to keep on the shortlist is JESSICA RABBIT for the places. She can be a frustrating one to follow but continues to run well in defeat.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a deep field and therefore a very interesting handicap hurdle we have on our hands here.

We are pulling towards BEACH BREAK at 9/2* (betting odds recorded 20:18 GMT on August 25th 2021 at William Hill).

He has been eased 3lb after back to back fourth-place finishes, the latest of which was at Worcester last month over the hurdles.

That was a decent effort in a decent contest, which should just put him in the frame in this one.

So too THE BLAME GAME who took a course win in September as a novice. He hasn’t been seen since June and he should be interesting over this trip.

The final selection is SOCKS OFF who didn’t have the stamina to go the 2m 7f on his handicap debut at Market Rasen on his latest. The drop in trip could play to his favour to challenge.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

OUT THE HAT is our 4/1 horse racing tip for this one as there were excuses for his latest run* (betting odds recorded 20:18 GMT on August 25th 2021 at William Hill).

He was given a run at Ripon twelve days ago but was sent out really aggressively. The tactics didn’t work out at all. But there has been positive form for Out The Hat this season.

6f wins at Hamilton and Haydock are notable pieces from him this summer. So we expect him to be right there as he drops down in class.

GLIBURY was a runner up at Haydock on his last run, behind only the excellent MO CELITA. So on a return from a break, there is interest in the potential challenge that he could produce.

POCKLEY is another to watch in the horse racing betting market. He was last seen in July, finishing fight to Out The Hat.

That was a credible enough run and the switch of yards could have perked him up.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There are a few with bold claims here. NOBLE CRUSADE, who enjoys a run at Carlisle gets the nod as our horse racing tip at 11/4* (betting odds recorded 20:18 GMT on August 25th 2021 at William Hill).

Noble Crusade has won twice before at course and distance, so warrants plenty of respect for this one.

A third-place finish at Musselburgh on his latest can be excused, the race not going in his favour.

KENTUCKY KITTEN went well in defeat last time out, taking third place in a Doncaster handicap 12 days ago.

That followed a win for him at Redcar in July. He may not be far away.

The final shortlist selection is the unexposed MARAAKIZ who has produced decent form in his last two efforts. He looks to be on a reasonable enough mark from which to launch a challenge.

Toussarok 13/8

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is another deep field for the day, but our selection is going to be SWISS PRIDE at 5/1* (betting odds recorded 20:18 GMT on August 25th 2021 at William Hill).

His latest run can easily be excused, so we expect a bounce-back performance from him. He is generally a good consistent sort.

There have been three wins for him in seven runs this year. There’s enough there to see him warrant respect.

ALPHONSE KARR may not be far away after a third at the course and distance two weeks ago. He is a good performer on the all-weather and a place finish is easily in his range in this one.

The final selection is TOUSSAROK who had another good run on his latest. That was six days ago, taking a runner up spot at Kempton. More is expected from him.
