Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are starting off today’s horse racing tips with a look at FIVEANDTWENTY to get the better of SCHOLASTIC in this one.

She is a quote of 11/2 to do just that* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on April 14th 2021 at William Hill).

Fiveandtwenty had been on a three-race winning streak before turning out at Aintree last week. That was in a Grade 1 effort in which she finished third.

She was beaten out there by a couple of very good juveniles and it’s not going to take much for her to get back on track in this one at all.

So the easing in grade here and turning up nice and match sharp has to put her right in the frame.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There are plenty with some reasonable claims in this one.

We are going with REGARDING RUTH at 9/2 as our horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on April 14th 2021 at William Hill).

She picked up a score in a Newbury handicap last month, producing the victory in convincing style as well in a field of 13.

There has been an 8lb rise for her because of that, which is a mark of her progress to be fair. Will that be enough to slow her up.

That score at Newbury was the second victory of the season for Regarding Ruth and put her right back on track.

She is back going in the right direction and poses a big threat in this contest to edge the likes of other strong contenders like EGLANTINE DU SEUIL and BOURBON BEAUTY.

Oxted 8/11

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The strong favourite for this one is the 8/11 odds-on OXTED for the Abernant Stakes* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on April 14th 2021 at William Hill).

It’s hard to oppose him really as he is back for a defence in this fixture. He just won this last year as a springboard to go on and win the July Cup as well.

Oxted was just powering his way to new levels last year and we would expect him to kick things off this term pretty soon.

The last run that he had was at Riyadh in February in the Dirt Sprint, in which he never really took to proceedings. So the return to turf is likely to bring more.

At least that reappearance run will have sharpened him up if nothing else and he sets the standard in this one ahead of main threat SUMMERGHAND and EXALTED ANGEL.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

Today’s horse racing tip for this mares’ handicap chase at Cheltenham is WHAT’SDASTORY and a victory for him wouldn’t be out of turn.

Whatsdastory is a quote of 4/1 to get the win in this one, the second favourite behind WIN MY WINGS* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on April 14th 2021 at William Hill).

Whatsdastory is super consistent and in great shape at the moment. She has finished as runner up in each of her last three runs now.

The most recent of those was 17 days ago at Wincanton on a 3m 1f trip last month in a field of six.

The recent action that she had been in mares’ handicap chases so knows what this is all about and there has to be another strong effort from her.

While there are decent claims from the likes of JUBILYMPICS and WIN MY WINGS, this is a very even playing field that we see happening in this race.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are back at Newmarket for another of the day’s big races from there, the Craven Stakes.

LA BAROSSA looks to be the way to go in this contest at 4/1* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on April 14th 2021 at William Hill).

He opened with back to back wins showing a lot of potential first up in those efforts. He was beaten on his final run as a juvenile.

That was in France and the conditions underfoot really hampered him in that one, so the fifth-place finish that La Barossa took was certainly excusable.

La Barrosa did notably win the Tattersalls Stakes here at Newmarket before that hiccup in France, and that victory was at 7f.

He finished extremely well in that fixture and because of that, we think that he just gets it.

His stablemate MASTER OF THE SEAS is the other obvious strong contender in this field along with KHARTOUM.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a fascinating strong contest for which LIBERTY BELLA heads up the field as the favourite. But only narrowly. But the better work that she has produced has been on soft ground.

So with the ground firmed up at Prestbury Park we are looking at DANSE IDOL as our 9/2 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on April 14th 2021 at William Hill).

The conditions underfoot will suit her perfectly and therefore has to have big claims.

Danse Idol claimed a win in her penultimate race, a score at Southwell on her second start for the in-form David Skelton.

She was third behind Flower Of Scotland and Pink Legend at Kelso on her latest run, which was 19 days ago.

But she was clearly below par there and has a decent chance of turning the tables on those rivals.
