Horse Racing Tips: Segal fancied for Warwick success on Thursday
There's a bumper day's racing on Thursday with six meetings taking place across the UK & Ireland and there's a quintet of National Hunt fixtures taking place at Taunton, Hexham, Warwick, Limerick and Navan. Wolverhampton host the solitary all-weather fixture this evening and we preview all today's racing and pick out some of the most popular naps from a host of racing tipsters...
Five-year-old Saint Segal has been hugely progressive this season for Jane Williams and the youngster will look to make it three wins in four starts at Warwick on Thursday and is a well-fancied 11/8 chance for the 15:35 contest. Proving extremely popular with our racing tipsters a whopping sextet of them have napped Saint Segal, who was last seen finishing second at Doncaster. Upped 3lbs for that run, Saint Segal is the best bet of Jon Freeman from The i, who has notched up back-to-back winning naps over the last couple of days and is bidding for the hat-trick today.
However, Saint Segal will face some notable rivals in one of the highlights on the card and RP Ratings from the Racing Post, who has napped three winners on the spin, has put up the 4/1 shot Grandeur D'Ame, who has won his last two outings for Alan King, while Chris Wright from the Liverpool Echo, who is another that is looking for a third winning nap, has put up Red Rookie as the best bet of the day.
Heading to the West Country and Taunton's Jumps card, Whistler from the Sunday Telegraph has put up the 5/1 chance My Last Oscar as the best bet of the day in the 15:50 contest, while heading back up north to Hexham's National Hunt fixture one that catches the eye is Trevelyn's Corn in the 16:30 race is popular. Postdata from the Racing Post has napped that 7/2 chance, who will have the burden of top weight for Micky Hammond.
There's a seven-race card on the level at Wolverhampton this evening and the one horse proving the most popular on the card is the Ruth Carr-trained Athmad, who lines up in the 20:00 contest. Available at 100/30, at the time of writing, Carr's charge has been napped by three tipsters for the penultimate race on the card and the three-time course and distance winner is attempting to make it three wins on the bounce this evening and Marlborough of the Daily Telegraph is one of those tipsters that fancies Carr's charge.
Currently heading the naps table is the Sunday Express tipster and the highflyer is another that heads to Wolverhampton this evening and the best bet of the day for the tipster is Bascinet, who runs in the 17:30 contest. A 3/1 shot at the moment, Bascinet has been in excellent form the last few months winning three out of six starts and the flourishing performer will attempt to continue the winning ways tonight.
Andrew Bladen from the Wolverhampton Express & Star is seventh in the naps table and heads to Limerick this afternoon for the nap of the day and has put up 15/8 shot Libby in the 13:40 race, while another eye-catching selection from Limerick is Crowsatedappletart, who's the nap of the day for Rory Paddock in the 15:25 race.
