Mixed martial arts Saturday’s Horse Racing Tips: Newbury, Newmarket May 20th
Today’s Racing Tips – May 20th
Saturday’s ITV action has some high class and competitive turf action at the forefront, with the best of the action covered from Newbury and Newmarket. The Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at 3.35pm is very much the highlight, with top milers from the biggest yards in the country represented. For betting interest, there are some really tough handicaps for punters to solve, with the Gold Cup heritage handicap at 3.00pm likely to have a big field with decent spring ground expected.

Today’s Daily Nap
Haskoy
Newbury 2:25 (UK time)
Ralph Beckett’s 4-y-o suffered his first defeat when fourth in the St Leger on his final start last season, but he had excuses there on testing ground and remains with plenty of potential over middle distances. He is a free-going sort who needs settling in the early stages, but will appreciate the long Newbury straight on drying ground, and could have too much speed for his main market rival Yibir.
Odds: NA
Today’s Value Angle
Chelsea Green
Newmarket 2:05 (UK time)
Hugo Palmer has his team in terrific form as the turf season shifts up a gear, and his unexposed filly is one to follow into handicaps over the next few months. She won 1 of her 4 starts as a juvenile, and had testing ground as a valid excuse when slightly disappointing on her final run at Newmarket in October.
Odds: NA
Odds are best odds available as at 9am May 20th 2023. Odds may now differ.
ITV Racing Tips – Saturday May 20th
| Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:50 | Newbury | Rabaah | Charlie Hills 3-y-o has created a deep impression in winning two modest all-weather novices at Lingfield and Wolverhampton so far this season, travelling really strongly and sprinting clear readily to land the odds in style last time out. He has shaped as though he will be well suited by fast ground now switched to the turf at Newbury on Saturday, and this listed prize looks an excellent starting point given his very high mark for handicaps. |
| 2:05 | Newmarket | Chelsea Green | Hugo Palmer has his team in terrific form as the turf season shifts up a gear, and his unexposed filly is one to follow into handicaps over the next few months. She won 1 of her 4 starts as a juvenile, and had testing ground as a valid excuse when slightly disappointing on her final run at Newmarket in October. |
| 2:25 | Newbury | Haskoy | Ralph Beckett’s 4-y-o suffered his first defeat when fourth in the St Leger on his final start last season, but he had excuses there on testing ground and remains with plenty of potential over middle distances. He is a free-going sort who needs settling in the early stages, but will appreciate the long Newbury straight on drying ground, and could have too much speed for his main market rival Yibir. |
| 2:40 | Newmarket | Eminency | Clive Cox’s unexposed 3-y-o let down supporters when heavily backed on his seasonal reappearance on the all-weather at Kempton, but he should have come on for that run and will relish a switch to turf at Newmarket on Saturday. |
| 3:00 | Newbury | Royal Rhyme | Karl Burke’s comes into this valuable prize fully fit after three runs already this season, and he showed a tenacious attitude under pressure when winning on soft ground at Newmarket last time out. A raised mark now demands more, but he has the scope to keep on progressing after just 4 career starts and the better ground should be ideal under Clifford Lee. |
| 3:15 | Newmarket | Persuasion | David Barron’s handicapper has been running himself into top form this season, and he looked well capable off this kind of mark when finishing a cracking third last time out at Newmarket behind The Gatekeeper (staying on strongly despite racing a shade freely early). |
| 3:35 | Newbury | Laurel | John and Thady Gosden’s filly looked a very smart prospect when quickening clear to win a listed prize on the AW at Kempton on her seasonal reappearance, and looks well worth sticking with now upped to Group 1 company at Newbury on Saturday. She is a smooth traveller with a smart turn of foot, and the drying ground conditions should be ideal (with more improvement in the tank after just four career starts). |
