Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There are some very strong challenges coming in for the Dee Stakes. Having had a good reappearance run, we are siding with MAXIMAL at 4/1* (betting odds recorded 21:31 GMT on May 5th 2021 at Coral).

That run was at Newbury for his return and he only found one too good on the day there. That was potentially a very smart one as well.

There was plenty of encouragement for Maximal in his juvenile season and it shouldn’t take much more for him to push on to more.

Smi Michael Stoute’s challenger is going to hold off some strong competition in the fixture obviously. The biggest threats look like ONTARIO and the very promo singing YIBIR.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are going to stick with the top selection, the 7/4 ROOSTER COGBURN as our horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 21:31 GMT on May 5th 2021 at Coral).

He returns to action off the back of a very impressive win at a 2m 1f distance at Market Rasen just a couple of weeks ago.

There has been a 9lb rise in the ratings for him. Rooster Cogburn showed a lot of improvement in that run, finding his feet in chasing after an indifferent debut.

A lot more should be coming from him in this sphere though, as he looks built for chasing as opposed to the timbers.

The other that we can see making a challenge will be TORRENT DES MOTTES, who was behind rival Rooster Cogburn in that Market Rasen effort. ELISEZMOI piques some interest as an outsider option.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There is good enough pedigree behind 7/2 shot ALEAS to expect him to run onto big things this season as he continues to develop* (betting odds recorded 21:31 GMT on May 5th 2021 at Coral).

Aleas won two of his three runs as a juvenile, those happening at Newmarket and at Kempton (novice and nursery respectively).

He doesn’t have the greatest of draws from the stalls, having to go from out wide. But regardless of that, he commands big respect.

AQUAMAN, the other one at the head of the market for this race, can’t be counted out as a horse racing tip either.

He scored a couple of weeks ago at Catterick on his reappearance and could be even sharper because of that.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

A bigger field to sift through in this one and there are a few decent claims as around. Certainly, RUKWA and BUTTSBURY LADY piques some interest for the shortlist.

But it is VEILED SECRET at 6/1 that we are just leaning on because he has gone well before at Huntingdon and can’t be dismissed.

He was last seen a month ago at Taunton in a handicap chase and he was a faller in that one. That race was his first for six months.

So in this easier contest back over the timbers, there could be something in this for him.

This is a competitive and open contest. With Brian Hughes in the saddle, Veiled Secret makes it as our horse racing tip.

Race Type: Group 3 Ormonde Stakes
Age: 4 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 1m 5f

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a very interesting Group 3 clash with a lot of interest in JAPAN. He didn’t have the greatest of time last season. Will he bounce back in what is an easier affair?

TRUESHAN carries a 5lb penalty which is a harsh one, after winning the Long Distance Cup in October. But he enters the fray as a massive threat.

Former winner MORANDO is also in the mix and can’t be counted out for another possible success in this one.

Which are we swinging for as a horse racing tip, because they all are very appealing? If Japan is himself, then he can destroy this field.

That’s just enough for us to lean on him. This is easier stuff than the dual Group 1 winner is used to and this big drop in class has to give him a huge chance.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

Out of this big lot we are pulling towards a 7/1 shot BARYSHNIKOV* (betting odds recorded 21:31 GMT on May 5th 2021 at Coral).

Last September he took a course and distance win and then a straight follow up at Ayr when he was thriving.

He looked like he needed his effort at Doncaster on his return, just a month ago. Baryshnikov only finished in the middle of the pack there.

But there were positive signs of him shaping well. The nice thing here is that Baryshnikov gets a nice draw, which could be a difference-maker in a wide-open contest.

Others to consider for the shortlist are FIRST IMPRESSION and LUCKY’S DREAM, the latter of those having run himself into some nice form lately.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We will round off today’s racing tips with a look at SONNING to come up the win in this one at 5/2* (betting odds recorded 21:31 GMT on May 5th 2021 at Coral).

A reappearance success three weeks ago at Beverley puts him well in the frame for Alan King.

He has been handled very well and that was a big mark of improved form from him after a 5-month break.

That was also the handicap debut for Sonning, so we think that he handles himself well in this next run too.
