Gunnery Sergeant

J: Sean Bowen T: Gordon Elliot
Race Winner
7/4

Reason for Tip

Gunnery Sergeant is a fascinating Irish raider who commands serious respect in the 3.18 at Perth today. Trained by the powerful Gordon Elliott stable, the 6yo gelding travels over to Scotland to make his highly anticipated handicap chase debut. While he has mixed hurdles and fences recently, his best form includes consecutive runner-up finishes in competitive Irish maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick earlier this year. He already has useful experience over fences from a pair of beginners’ chases, and today’s mark of 108 looks very reasonable for his handicap bow. Elliott enjoys an exceptional strike rate when sending runners to Perth, and booking the services of top-tier jockey Sean Bowen is a massive statement of intent. Stepping up to a preferred distance of two and a half miles on good ground, Gunnery Sergeant is fully primed to launch a highly serious and determined challenge today and looks a likely winner.

Keppel Queen – 3.50 Warwick (6/4)

  • Trainer: O Murphy

  • Jockey: Sean Bowen

Keppel Queen may still be winless after 9 hurdle runs, but she’s been knocking on the door with form of 2342 this year. The big angle today is her first start for the Olly Murphy stable, who are in hot form. She drops back into a maiden, has the assistance of in-form Sean Bowen (30% strike-rate in the past fortnight), and returns to Warwick where she’s already run well. Looks every inch a winner-in-waiting.

Melvin Udall

J: D Egan T: Grace Harris
Race Winner
16/1

Reason for Tip

Melvin Udall looks to bounce back to his best in the 8.00 at Newbury today. Trained by Grace Harris, the talented 4yo gelding showed exactly what he is capable of when making a winning seasonal debut at Doncaster in March, staying on strongly to defeat a competitive fifteen-runner field over this seven-furlong distance. While his subsequent efforts on turf at Thirsk and on the all-weather at Kempton were somewhat below par, he remains a highly capable performer on his day. He returns to his preferred turf surface today on a fast track that should suit his running style, and the good to firm ground is expected to bring out his absolute best. With class-act jockey David Egan booked to ride and his handicap mark of 80 looking highly competitive, Melvin Udall has the raw talent to bounce back and mount a major bid at a big price.

Lightning Tiger – 5.25 Catterick (10/1)

  • Trainer: Charlie Fellowes

  • Jockey: Callum Rodriguez

Three consecutive 5th-place finishes hide some promise, as he’s been beaten shorter margins with each start. Steps up in trip to 1m4f on handicap debut which looks spot on, and being one of the most unexposed in the race is a big plus. From a strong yard, partnered with an excellent jockey, Lightning Tiger could easily outrun his odds at a double-figure price.

Yahaira

J: William Cox T: Tom Dascombe
Race Winner
13/2

Reason for Tip

The Tom Dascombe trained Yahaira lines up in the 2.00 at Nottingham today with live credentials. This highly promising 2yo filly got off the mark on her fourth career start last month, putting in a gritty performance to land a competitive six-furlong novice event at Newbury. Showing great determination, she made all the running and stayed on tenaciously under William Cox to win by a neck on good to firm ground. Today, she makes her highly anticipated nursery handicap debut off a workable initial mark of 69, with Cox retaining the ride. Her trainer is historically renowned for his excellent record with young handicappers in this sphere, making her a truly formidable contender despite strong opposition from Jack Channon’s Innichen. Boasting winning experience over this trip and likely to appreciate the quick turf, Yahaira represents a highly solid and very positive option to mount another bold bid from the front today.

Ravenscraig Castle

J: Danny McMenamin T: I Jardine
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Ravenscraig Castle returns to one of his absolute favourite hunting grounds in the 2.48 at Perth today. The versatile 8yo grey gelding, trained by Iain Jardine, is a proven course-and-distance winner over hurdles at this particular venue, having tasted sweet success here last summer. He showed he retains plenty of enthusiasm and form when finishing a highly encouraging third of twelve over this track and trip last month under today’s jockey, Danny McMenamin. On that occasion, he traveled smoothly and chased the leaders home, beaten just over four lengths. Dropped one pound in the weights to a very attractive mark of 105, he looks beautifully treated in this small six-runner field today. While Jennie Candlish’s Pergamon represents a formidable short-priced rival, Ravenscraig Castle’s robust course form, reliable jumping, and optimal good ground conditions give him a very good chance to deliver another extremely competitive and prominent performance today.

Campani

J: D C Costello T: D M Simcock
Race Winner
2/1

Reason for Tip

Campani has a fantastic opportunity to get back to winning ways in the 4.50 at Yarmouth today. Trained by David Simcock, this consistent 4yo gelding has performed with credit this season, starting his year with a solid victory over seven furlongs at Chelmsford in January. He backed up that performance with an encouraging third-place finish over today’s course and distance in May, keeping on well despite testing soft ground. Reverting to good to firm turf today should play directly to his strengths, as his pedigree indicates a clear preference for a quicker surface. Stripping fitter for that recent run and remaining on a highly competitive handicap mark of 56, he looks perfectly poised to mount a major challenge in this seven-runner field under Dougie Costello.

Avalon Queen

J: Jason Watson T: R A Teal
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Avalon Queen is an exciting prospect lining up in the 6.50 at Newbury today. The Roger Teal-trained 2yo filly made a highly promising racecourse debut over six and a half furlongs at this track last month, finishing a commendable fourth in a strong twelve-runner maiden. Although she showed signs of greenness, she stayed on with real encouragement to be beaten just three lengths on quick ground. Sired by Masar and out of the Group 2-winning mare Morgan Le Faye, she possesses an outstanding pedigree and is open to significant physical and mental improvement. While dropping back to a bare six furlongs today might test her speed, her natural talent and debut experience make her a fascinating contender. Ridden by Jason Watson today, the talented Avalon Queen is fully expected to take another major step forward and should mount an incredibly formidable challenge.
