Sunday’s UK & Irish Horse Racing Tips

Won nicely at Pontefract as a 2yo before excuses in a messy Richmond; big run bumping into Lusail at York; final start worth forgiving; should prove hard to beat here if back to his best on return; worth chancing.

With just the four runners heading to post GIS A SUB looks the one to beat. He is a smart colt who has the best form on offer having chased home Lusail at York. This looks winnable and if he goes off the front under Kevin Stott they might not see which way he goes. Mitbaahy was a good second on return at Nottingham and should strip fitter but I think he lacks the potential of the favourite and needs more. Edward Cornelius clocked a career best at Thirsk and has to be respected as well but this definitely demands more so he might be found out. The outsider of the field is Instinction but she has some 21lb to find with the favourite on ratings and that looks a big enough ask hence her price.
