Horse Racing Tips: All the best bets for York on Thursday

There's an absolutely fascinating renewal of the Yorkshire Oaks at 15:35 as the Oaks heroine Tuesday does battle with the Ribblesdale Stakes and Irish Oaks winner Magical Lagoon. However, that classy pair, who represent the three-year-old generation here, will have a tough task to down race favourite Alpinista and La Petite Coco, who currently head the betting for the Group 1 feature on Thursday.

Receiving weight from their older rivals, Tuesday and Magical Lagoon have proven popular with our tipsters and the current naps table leader Expert Eye fancies the Aidan O'Brien-trained Tuesday to claim more top-class Group glory, while Garry Owen, who sits second in the table, takes on Tuesday with the aforementioned Magical Lagoon, who is an 11/2 chance for today's prize. Sir Mark Prescott's Alpinista is a best-priced 9/4 to claim glory and that fancied rival has proven the most popular selection in the race as three tipsters have napped the Prescott charge, who will be the one to beat.

Four horses at York have been napped by three racing tipsters and while Alpinista has proven the most high profile of those there are some other notable runners today that have caught the eye. Richard Hannon's Shouldvebeenaring is an 11/4 chance for the Yearling Stakes at 14:25 and has been napped by three tipsters, while the 12/1 chance Cruyff Turn runs in the 15:00 contest for Tim Easterby and is another that has been napped by a trio of tipsters. The final horse running at York that has been napped three times is the William Haggas-trained Queen Aminatu, who is a 7/4 chance for the 17:20 contest.

Glendale of The Scotsman has been in terrific form this week and is bidding for a third winning nap in a row, and that form tipster heads to the 14:25 contest for the best bet of the day. Kevin Ryan's Revision built on a second placed finish on debut at Haydock Park by getting his head in front at Newcastle and the son of Ardad is a 12/1 chance to land today's contest, which is a notable step up in class, but he's open to significant improvement.

Ben Morgan from Racing Ahead is another heading into Thursday's action on the back of two winning naps on the bounce, and he is taking a real chance with the 22/1 chance No Nay Nicki, who runs in the final race of the card at 17:20, and lines up for Richard Fahey and Cam Hardie. Out the back in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot, No Nay Nicki bounced back to form with a decent second placed finish at Doncaster, and if she can build on that effort then she has to be a lively outsider.

For those lovers of big-priced selections then look no further than the 50/1 rag Shelir in the 15:00 at York, who is the best bet of Steve Mullington from 888Sport, and that raider is a course and distance winner, so will be hoping a return to York can see the six-year-old return to winning ways at huge odds.
