Today’s Racing Tips – July 22nd

There is something for all racing fans on Saturday, as the ITV cameras cover the best of the flat action from Newbury alongside ultra-competitive summer jumping from Market Rasen. The Berkshire venue will attract a huge field of juveniles for the valuable Weatherbys Super Sprint at 3.35pm, while the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes is sure to draw some high class sprinters from the top UK yards.

Today’s Daily Nap

Garrus

Newbury 3:00 (UK time)

Charles Hills classy sprinter has a terrific strike rate, with 8 career wins from 30 starts, and he lost no caste at all in defeat when second at Longchamp last time out over 7f. He will relish the return to sprinting here back at 6f, and can weave his way through late under the excellent William Buick.

Odds: NA

Today’s Value Angle

Novel Legend

Newbury 2:25 (UK time)

James Fanshawe’s progressive stayer had been improving run to run until failing to stay 2m4f at Royal Ascot last time out, and the return to an extended two miles should suit ideally at Newbury on Saturday. He remains open to improvement over these stamina sapping trips, and the first time booking of William Buick certainly increases confidence.

Odds: NA

Odds are best odds available as at 9am July 22nd 2023. Odds may now differ.

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday July 22nd

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:50	Newbury	Epic Poet	Martyn and Freddie Meade’s useful performer ran to a solid level in victory and defeat in France last season for Jean-Claude Rouget, and is worth chancing on his seasonal reappearance after 8 months off (with the booking of Oisin Murphy certainly increasing confidence that he will be primed).
2:05	Market Rasen	Lighthouse Mill	David Dennis’s consistent handicapper has been running really well all summer, and his front-running tactics are always a good plan of attack around this sharp right-handed track on drying ground.
2:25	Newbury	Novel Legend	James Fanshawe’s progressive stayer had been improving run to run until failing to stay 2m4f at Royal Ascot last time out, and the return to an extended two miles should suit ideally at Newbury on Saturday. He remains open to improvement over these stamina sapping trips, and the first time booking of William Buick certainly increases confidence.
2:40	Market Rasen	Belvedere Blast	Adrian Keatley’s handicapper has been making hay around the smaller tracks this summer, travelling like one who should be well capable of holding his own upped in class. He should get a strong pace to aim at in this big field, and a typically patient ride from Brian Hughes can see him cut these rivals down late.
3:00	Newbury	Garrus	Charles Hills classy sprinter has a terrific strike rate, with 8 career wins from 30 starts, and he lost no caste at all in defeat when second at Longchamp last time out over 7f. He will relish the return to sprinting here back at 6f, and can weave his way through late under the excellent William Buick.
3:15	Market Rasen	Francky Du Berlais	Peter Bowen has his team in blistering form as usual through the summer months, and his veteran has the perfect conditions to go close here back at his favoured Market Rasen. He caught the eye in no uncertain style when finishing strongly into third over this course and distance last time out, and this valuable prize has presumably been the target all season from what is now a very lenient handicap mark.
3:35	Newbury	Beenham	Rod Millman always does well with a small team of juveniles every season, and this scopey 2-y-o looked one to follow up in class when winning at Goodwood in May. He could not cope with a firm ground listed contest at York last time out, but had a wide trip throughout there and remains open to plenty more improvement after just three career starts (with the booking of Oisin Murphy a big plus).
