Horse Racing Tips: Tajdif fancied for red-hot tipster at Newbury on Wednesday

Charles Hills and Jim Crowley will be looking to head to Royal Ascot in excellent form and with that meeting only a couple of weeks away then both will be looking for winners between now and June 20th when the Flat extravaganza begins and the pair team up at Newbury this afternoon. The Sporting Life tipster has been in tremendous tipping form having notched up three winning naps on the bounce and they bid for a four-timer this afternoon and have napped the 7/1 shot Tajdif, who runs in the 15:45 race for the Hills/Crowley partnership. The Invincible Spirit gelding has failed to get his head in front yet and will need to improve on what he has shown on the track, but the switch to handicap company off a mark of 70 should see him improve considerably and he could be of notable interest.

Mercury of the Daily Post is another tipster that has been knocking in the winners of late and is another aiming for a fourth win on the spin today and that tipster also heads to Newbury's intriguing Flat card. Siding with the Gary Moore-trained Saligo Bay, Mercury will be hoping the son of New Bay can improve on a decent win at Windsor last time out and with only a 3lbs rise for that success then the well-fancied 11/8 shot could be tough to beat in the penultimate race at the meeting at 17:25.

On The Nose from the Racing Post is looking for a third winning nap on the bounce and has napped the Joseph O'Brien-trained White Caviar in the 19:00 at Curragh, while The Punt from the Racing Post heads to Nottingham's afternoon card and has napped the 10/1 chance Pepsi Cat, who lines up for Steph Hollinshead in the 15:25.

Continuing to lead the way is Jason Heavey from The Star, who has a fine profit of £26.56 and that tipster heads to Kempton Park's all-weather evening fixture for the nap of the day and he has napped the 22/1 outsider Beccara Rose in the 19:50 contest. The Charlie Fellowes-trained filly has failed to get her head in front in four starts and she was last of 11 last time out at Ascot off a mark of 79, but today's event could be a little easier. She's been dropped 1lb, which is a slight positive, but she will need to produce a huge career best to play a notable part in proceedings here.

The Guardian tipster sits in second place in the naps table with a current profit of £17.75 and that racing writer heads to Nottingham this afternoon for the bet of the day and has napped the 9/2 shot Guimarg in the 17:10 event, while third placed tipster Tipman Tips has picked out the 7/1 chance Twelfth Knight in the 19:40 at Ripon.
