Showcasing Star

J: Pat Cosgrave T: Charlie Johnston
Race Winner
16/1

Reason for Tip

This unexposed 3yo gelding, by Showcasing, is a fascinating contender as he makes his handicap debut in the Class 4 Try Unibet’s New Smartview Racecards Handicap. He put together a highly consistent sequence in the spring, finishing a close second on all three of his All-Weather starts at Newcastle and Wolverhampton. You can safely draw a line through his latest run on soft turf at Chester, as the testing ground was clearly against him. Reverting to his preferred All-Weather surface tomorrow, he should find conditions much more to his liking. Running off an opening mark of 77, he remains completely unexposed on polytrack and represents the powerhouse stable of Charlie Johnston. With veteran jockey Pat Cosgrave in the saddle, Showcasing Star has excellent prospects of bouncing back to form and looks ready to make a major impact on his handicap debut at a big price too.

What Are Outsider Tips & Dark Horse Picks?

An outsider tip refers to a horse that’s considered an underdog — often priced at 8/1 or longer — but still has a legitimate chance of running well. Sometimes known as a dark horse, these are runners that go under the radar yet have the form, course history or conditions to surprise the field.

Unlike favourites, outsider betting is about value, not popularity. And that’s where TipMan come in!

Why Bet on Outsiders in Horse Racing?

Backing outsiders might not mean constant winners — but the profits when they land can be huge. Here’s why smart punters love betting on dark horses:

  • Better Odds = Better Returns – It only takes a few winners to be in profit
  • Bookies Miss Clues – Trainers in form, track biases, going changes
  • Each Way Value – Outsiders often sneak into places at big odds
  • Market Movers – When smart money lands on an outsider, you want to be early
How We Pick Our Outsider & Dark Horse Tips

We don’t just tip outsiders for the sake of it. The TipMan team analyse UK & Irish racecards each morning, looking for:

  • Form Analysis: Spotting signs of a bounce-back or hidden class
  • Trainer & Jockey Insight: Knowing when certain pairings strike unexpectedly
  • Conditions Matching: Finding runners suited to soft, heavy, or course-specific conditions
  • Market Moves: Identifying when the money’s coming 

Every pick is made with one thing in mind — value at the odds.
