Thursday’s UK & Irish Horse Racing Tips

Aggressive tactics paid dividends at Nottingham last week as she ran out a 26-length winner in an apprentice event; obviously escapes a penalty for that and with no obvious pace on here she could easily go and follow up.

Most of the time I am fairly cautious when a horse goes and wins by such a wide margin but there certainly didn’t seem any fluke about STORM CHASER at Nottingham last time and given she escapes a penalty she should be hard to beat here. This track can favour front runners and SDS is usually at his best when he is dictating. I think she’ll take it up early and it may well be catch me if you can again. Greek Flame is unexposed and only went down a neck at Wolverhampton. She has to prove herself on turf though and I’m not sure she finds a great deal off the bridle so if the selection goes clear she might not have what it takes to dig deep enough to reel her in. Bookmaker could be a greater threat.
