Horse Racing Tips: Encourageable to storm to Redcar win

The Group 2 Minstrel Stakes is one of the feature races at the Curragh at 14:10 and the Aidan O'Brien-trained Order Of Australia and Paddy Twomey's Pearls Galore are fighting it out at the head of the betting, and both have been put up as some of the racing writers' naps. Mercury from the Daily Post is backing the Ballydoyle raider Order Of Australia, who is currently a 6/4 chance, while the 13/8 shot Pearls Galore has been napped by The Score from Racing TV. Farringdon from the Morning Star is taking the pair of them on with the 7/2 raider Dr Zempf, who adds significant depth to a thrilling renewal.

Really catching the eye of our racing tipsters on Sunday is the James Horton-trained Encourageable, who is a red-hot 11/8 market leader for the 15:50 at Redcar and the fancied contender has been napped by five of our racing tipsters. One of that quintet that have napped the Horton raider, who was a winner two starts ago is the current naps table leader Expert Eye, who sits at the summit of the standings with a profit of £46.68. Well supported by those towards the top of the naps table, not only the leader Expert Eye fancies the hotshot, but the third placed Marlborough from the Daily Telegraph and the fourth placed The Scout from the Daily Express fancy Encourageable to score.

Earlier on the Redcar card there's a competitive 15:15 contest and two horses have been napped by three of our racing tipsters. Kevin Ryan's Time To Parley is a 5/1 shot to land the spoils and has to be respected, while the Charlie & Mark Johnston-trained Silver Kitten is a staggering 33/1 shot and has been napped by three tipsters as well.

Ben Morgan from Racing Ahead has been in marvellous tipping form of late and duly racked up a third winning nap on Saturday, and he heads to Stratford on Sunday to try and continue his winning streak and make it four wins on the bounce. Morgan has picked out the Robert Walford-trained Elios D'or, who is a 2/1 chance for the 13:30 race. A winner two starts ago at Ludlow, the eight-year-old failed to follow up at Worcester last time out, but he did run a decent race in second, so he heads into this contest in decent form and has to be a key contender.

The 15:55 at the Curragh is another Group 2 contest lighting up the Irish action and fresh from Irish Oaks glory on Sunday Jessica Harrington will attempt to land more big-race success and she will saddle Sierra Nevada in the 1m 1f contest. Currently trading as a 16/1 chance, she has been napped by Sirius from The Sun On Sunday.

Other eye-catching big-priced contenders include the 11/1 shot Tiny Bit, who goes for glory in the 17:00 at the Curragh, while the 8/1 chance One Sweet Day bids for glory in the same contest and has been napped in our naps table in what looks another thrilling event on an excellent card at the Irish track.
