Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The interesting UNCLE BRYN is the current strong favourite of the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom on Tuesday.

We would have to support that at evens* (betting odds recorded 20:34 GMT on April 18th 2021 at Coral).

He impressed greatly when banking two wins from two in maiden/novice company last year. He is coming up in grade here but there seems to be plenty of potential in him.

So a bold start as a three-year-old is expected for the son of Sea The Stars. Will he be able to extend that unbeaten record?

The biggest threats to his chance would likely be the slightly underrated TOO FRIENDLY and WIRKO who is trading a little stronger in the market than that former.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

ROAD WARRIOR is the favourite for this one and it will be a massive surprise if he wasn’t right there in the fixture, as he seeks a treble. He is bang in form.

But we think that 11/2 shot TICO TIMES is worth consideration for this contest. He is a course and distance winner.

Tico Times scored at Carlisle, easily handling a 7lb rise on his latest run, which was just over two weeks ago. That followed that win here in a handicap. So he is another sitting on a hattrick.

He looks to be thriving a bit now and he needs respecting in this contest as he has really kicked on for this yard after a wind op.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

HARROVIAN and BLUE CAP can’t be separated at the head of the market for horse racing betting at the moment.

But the field interestingly goes a lot deeper than that. We were almost tempted by VICTORY CHIME as he looked a threat.

But our horse racing tip is going to be SKY DEFENDER who scored at course and distance last summer in a handicap. That was at 5lb lower.

He hasn’t picked up a win this year, however, there was a very solid effort from him last time out, taking a fourth-place finish at Lingfield at this distance earlier this month.

Sky Defender is coming in nice and sharp and wouldn’t be winning out of turn from 15/2* (betting odds recorded 20:34 GMT on April 18th 2021 at Coral)

Valyrian Steel 13/8

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We have a smaller field here to look at for today’s horse racing tips. This is wide-open and therefore we are sideswiping VALYRIAN STEEL.

AMAZING RED is of massive interest as a 10/1 shot in this fixture* (betting odds recorded 20:34 GMT on April 18th 2021 at Coral).

He can’t be ruled out on his first run at this venue after scoring at Leicester on his last effort, which was eleven days ago.

He sticks with the same jockey and comes up 4lb.

That was a comfortable win at Leicester which he banked and he looks to be just a little bit underestimated for this fascinating contest.

Scale Force 10/3
Agent Shiftwell 9/2
Canford Bay 5/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is an epic test of stamina going down at Southwell at over four miles. STARS IN THE NIGHT is the red-hot favourite for this contest.

We would stick with the filly as he lines up a hattrick bid. Stars In The Night is a quote of 15/8 to get the score* (betting odds recorded 20:34 GMT on April 18th 2021 at Coral).

She is a precious course and distance winner and scored very well at Newcastle seven days ago on her latest run.

There is a 5lb penalty that she carries here, but she has looked impressive so far. There is a 7lb claimer on her back as well which will help out.

We don’t see anyone in the field that is likely to get the better of her on the day if she runs her true race. It’s Stars In The Night all the way.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are going with BARNEY’S BAY as our horse racing tip in this Southwell fixture. He lines up pretty similarly in profile to COOPERATION.

But the former gets the nod after a good second place at Pontefract on his first go as a three-year-old. That was two weeks ago.

So there should be more to come from him after putting in a quick time in that division two fixture, with Cooperation having taken runner up in the division one side of that fixture.

We don’t see too much splitting them at the end of the day, but we are rolling for Tim Easterby’s charge Barney’s Bay at 11/8* (betting odds recorded 20:34 GMT on April 18th 2021 at Coral).
