Racing expert Newsboy has unveiled his top selections for Wednesday's three race meetings, featuring a strong Nap pick at Hereford and a promising Daily Double combination. The focus is on Vol Royale, who is tipped to return to winning form in a key handicap hurdle.
Hereford Nap: Vol Royale Poised for Victory
Vol Royale (4.30, Nap) is the standout selection at Hereford, where the six-year-old is expected to capitalise on a class drop and a return to his favourite track. Trained by Kaley Woollacott, this son of Wings Of Eagles struggled at Chepstow last month, finishing a distant seventh of nine under jockey Brendan Powell. However, his previous performances at Hereford tell a more compelling story.
In December, Vol Royale won over two miles by an impressive six lengths from Gnomon, with Harry Cobden in the saddle. He followed that up in January with a gritty three-quarters of a length victory over Aguellid, showcasing his affinity for the course. The form received a significant boost when Aguellid later won at Wincanton, ironically under Cobden, who reunites with Vol Royale on Wednesday.
With a 2lb drop in the weights and a step up in trip by three furlongs in the Coneleys Theme Park Fun Fair Handicap Hurdle, conditions appear ideal for a resurgence. Newsboy believes the combination of favourable factors makes Vol Royale a strong contender to resume his winning ways.
Huntingdon Next Best: Wandering Ego's Consistency
At Huntingdon, Wandering Ego (3.45, nb) is highlighted as the Next Best selection in the Weatherbys Design & Print Novices’ Hurdle. Trained by Olly Murphy, this consistent six-year-old has not finished lower than fourth in his last four outings, demonstrating reliable form.
His most recent run at Taunton saw him headed near the line over 2m3f by Grand Vendetta, but a return to two miles today is expected to suit him better. Adding to his appeal, champion jockey Sean Bowen takes the ride, providing a significant boost. Newsboy notes that Wandering Ego's steady performances and ideal conditions position him well for success.
