Tuesday April 9th horse racing tips
- THIRSK
2.15: Atherstone Warrior 9/4 (1pt)
2.45: A Gift Of Love 9/2 (1.5pts) - SOUTHWELL
5.30: Apache Star 7/2 (1pt)
6.00: Isle Of Sark 2/1 (1.5pts)
Atherstone Warrior
Did well to finish fourth in a busy run-in for the line at Doncaster in a Class 2 novice last month.
He beat Dukes Of Haather who finished in seventh and is a rival again today as the favourite in the betting.
It's very possible one will progress much more for that run and it didn't really look like Dukes Of Haather was encouraged into the race as much as he could have been.
But Atherstone Warrior was going very well to go on and showed decent pace to pass a couple in the final furlong despite being short of room and having to angle out around another rival.
Should go on from that nicely and 9/4 is much more appealing on that basis.
A Gift Of Love
Dark Jedi might be one for his next run as he doesn't have a good record coming back from a break of any significant length.
Based on how much he's come down in the weights in 2023 he should definitely be sided with next time out and significantly down in grade.
A Gift Of Love is the one to back on the back of a good second behind Franberri two runs ago in November.
Handicap and turf debut for Charlie Fellowes under Harry Davies and it's all looking encouraging in a fairly weak Class 5 handicap.
Franberri has also gone on to place well in big fields up in grade twice, so this looks ideal for the Frankel filly.
Sister to Mr Curiosity who achieved a career high overall rating of 95 and goes well on soft, which bodes well here today.
Apache Star
Returned from his winter break in March over course and distance to come a promising second.
That was his third successive second place finish but it was his first go over an even 5f for quite some time.
Has the pace to take it to the favourite provided he unleashes it fairly late on, allowing others to tire and pass them all.
Isle Of Sark
Saffie Osborne is on board her dad's horse as she's guided this horse to go close twice in his last two races over 1m3f.
Interesting to see him stepped up to 1m6f today but does have the stamina for it and has gone close between 1m6f and 2m before.
Has to go up against Robusto who's on the back of a decent win at Lingfield last time out, in October.
But has changed trainers and is up 6lb for that victory, albeit he has gone well fresh before.
