Newsboy's Expert Horseracing Tips for Thursday's Meetings
Racing correspondent Newsboy has unveiled his selections for Thursday's three race meetings, featuring a strong focus on the Flat card at Southwell. His nap of the day is Tewkesbury, who runs in the 6.18 Bet £10 Get £40 With BetMGM Handicap, with hopes high for a victory to complete a daily double alongside Solanna in the later race.
Tewkesbury Aims for Redemption at Southwell
Tewkesbury, trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, is fancied to gain compensation after a narrow comeback defeat at Chelmsford last month. The son of Ghaiyyath had three starts as a juvenile late last year, beginning with a debut fourth at Southwell in November, followed by second and fourth placings at Wolverhampton in December.
Those performances earned him a handicap mark of 73, and he went off at 11-2 in a field of five for his handicap debut at Chelmsford three weeks ago. Ridden by Harry Davies, Tewkesbury stayed on well from the back of the field but was narrowly beaten by a head to Just A Gambler at the line.
The British Horseracing Authority assessor has been conservative, with Tewkesbury competing from just 2lb higher here. With more expected on his fourth career outing, he is tipped to go one better and secure his first career success.
Solanna Looks Strong in Concluding Handicap
After returning to winning form at Kempton Park last time, Solanna has plenty in her favour for Southwell's concluding Create Your Bet Builders At Midnite Handicap at 8.18. As the next best selection, she partners with Tewkesbury to form Newsboy's daily double, offering punters a promising combination for the day's racing.
