TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)

Alan Morris gives his best bets from Wetherby and Newcastle this Thursday.

15:40 WETHERBY

It seems churlish to oppose Bollin Thou on his quest for a four-timer and he only briefly looked in trouble three days ago, with that being put down to the shorter trip rather than penalties and exertions catching up with him. Sean Bowen is back on board and he should go in again but those concerns still give a little doubt. You Did and Clondaw Royale, however, look very strong each-way shots to nothing overnight in a lop-sided race and both look competitive over this trip and going. Both would be shorter and fancied in most races.

YOU DID (E/W)

CLONDAW ROYALE (E/W)

17:00 NEWCASTLE

Quite a few of these are hoping to benefit from the drop back to 5f and the consistent Mademoiselle Belle looks short in the early markets over a different test to Southwell’s turning 6f. The Tunguska Event exploded clear a long way out over 6f here and has failed to see that trip out subsequently when pestered. Back here at 5f with a first time visor, Jason Hart’s charge looks good value overnight to strike.
