Mixed martial arts Saturday’s Horse Racing Tips: Haydock, Musselburgh April 8th
Today’s Racing Tips – April 8th
There are 7 cracking races covered by the ITV cameras on Saturday, with competitive spring jump racing from Haydock and a classy day of flat turf action from Musselburgh. Over sticks there are red hot valuable handicaps for the punters to solve, with the ground beginning to dry out as better weather finally arrives across the UK. There are also some really tough contests to solve on the flat, with the Queens Cup heritage handicap at 3.35 likely to attract runners up from the big southern yards over the 1m6f trip.
In this artice:
Today’s Daily Nap
Jefferys Cross
Haydock 2:40 (UK time)
Dan Skelton’s lightly raced handicapper is unexposed granted a proper stamina test on decent ground, and his latest second at Fontwell has been well franked since by the winner Coolvalla going in again from a much higher mark. There should be plenty of improvement in the tank after just three career starts over fences, and his relative freshness at this belated stage of the jumps season could count for plenty against some more jaded rivals.
Odds: NA
Today’s Value Angle
Too Friendly
Haydock 1:30 (UK time)
Dan Skelton’s unexposed handicapper has always shaped like he will appreciate a relative speed test when the ground finally dries up in the spring, and he should be well suited by the flat track at Haydock on Saturday. He has looked a non-stayer recently over longer trips, and this drop back to two miles should be ideal under Harry Skelton.
Odds: NA
Odds are best odds available as at 9am April 8th 2023. Odds may now differ.
ITV Racing Tips – Saturday April 8th
| Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:30 | Haydock | Too Friendly | Dan Skelton’s unexposed handicapper has always shaped like he will appreciate a relative speed test when the ground finally dries up in the spring, and he should be well suited by the flat track at Haydock on Saturday. He has looked a non-stayer recently over longer trips, and this drop back to two miles should be ideal under Harry Skelton. |
| 1:50 | Musselburgh | Captain Winters | Kevin Ryan landed running running on the turf with a well backed winner at Doncaster last weekend, and his unexposed sort seems sure to be primed to make a winning return after six months on the sidelines. He starts off the new term from an attractive mark, and there should be plenty more improvement in the tank after just five runs on the turf. |
| 2:25 | Musselburgh | Gweedore | Katie Scott’s 6-y-o handicapper is a terrific advert for the yard, with 9 wins from 31 starts on the turf, and he has optimum conditions to make a winning return to the fray under the excellent up-and-coming claimer Billy Loughnane. |
| 2:40 | Haydock | Jefferys Cross | Dan Skelton’s lightly raced handicapper is unexposed granted a proper stamina test on decent ground, and his latest second at Fontwell has been well franked since by the winner Coolvalla going in again from a much higher mark. There should be plenty of improvement in the tank after just three career starts over fences, and his relative freshness at this belated stage of the jumps season could count for plenty against some more jaded rivals. |
| 3:00 | Musselburgh | Last Crusader | Karl Burke’s handicapper comes into this competitive sprint with race fitness from his reappearance on the all-weather very much in his favour, and that might just give him a crucial advantage against some Musselburgh regulars in this division. |
| 3:15 | Haydock | Halifax | This smooth-traveller has held his form well since switching from Jonjo O’Neill, and he will relish this flat track on drying spring ground (with a strong pace on the cards to help him settle in the early stages). He does have plenty of quirks off the bridle, but is the type to excel in a better race than he usually contests, and can swoop late if enjoying any luck in running. |
| 03:35 | Musselburgh | Spirit Mixer | Andrew Balding has a very strong team to go to battle with this season, and it looks significant that he sends his progressive stayer up to Scotland for his seasonal reappearance. He has won 4 of his 15 career starts on the turf, and the rapidly drying underfoot conditions should be ideal under the talented 5lb claimer Callum Hutchinson. |
