Thursday's Horse Racing Tips: July 21st

Today’s Racing Tips – July 21st
There are 7 race meetings in Britain and Ireland on Thursday, with flat racing dominating and the action coming thick and fast throughout the afternoon and evening. The main card comes from Leopardstown in the evening, with welcome high class Group 3 races at 6.00 and 6.30pm (both over the seven furlong trip). Elsehwhere, there are competitive cards from Doncaster, Newbury, Sandown and Yarmouth on the turf, while NH fans have the cards at Worcester and Limerick to study.
In this article:

Today’s Daily Nap
Scarlet Dragon
Sandown 3:35 (UK time)
Eve Johnson Houghton’s handicapper has become extremely well treated after rather losing his form in the last year, and he showed last time out at Windsor (when well backed) that he could be poised to snap a losing run stretching back to June 2020 at Royal Ascot. He is a smooth traveller with a smart turn of foot when the cards fall right, and the booking of the championship chasing William Buick very much increases confidence that he can swoop late up the final hill.
Odds: 5.50
Today’s Value Angle
Franz Strauss
Sandown 3:00 (UK time)
John and Thady Gosden’s unexposed 3-y-o found the King George V handicap at the Royal meeting too much of a test on his debut in this sphere 35 days ago, but he had looked extremely promising previously in three career starts (including over 1m2f at this track behind the top class Westover). He remains with plenty of upside as his stamina is drawn out further,
and can improve past these two rivals under Franke Dettori.
Odds: 3.75
Odds are best odds available as at 10pm July 20th 2022. Odds may now differ.
