Horse racing tips May 2: Horses you MUST back at Chelmsford, Musselburgh, Redcar
CONTINGENCY FEE (2.05, nap) enjoys the Southwell Fibresand and it was here that the four-year-old began a hat-trick of victories.
Having been placed twice earlier in the year at the track, Phil McEntee's gelding won over a mile and a half a fortnight ago, and has run up a hat-trick since, the other victories coming at Brighton and Wolverhampton. The handicapper is still to get the better of him and he can add another win this afternoon.
MELROSE WAY (3.25, nb) has had just the one run at Pontefract, where he scored narrowly over six furlongs. James Bethell's filly steps up to seven furlongs today and has a 7lb penalty today but this flat track should help her cause.
On the all-weather at Chelmsford this evening BIG KITTEN (7.55, treble) will be suited by a return to a mile and a quarter having found a mile and a half too stamina sapping last time out at Newcastle. The William Haggas gelding won over a mile at Newcastle when trained by Mark Johnston last season before victory over this trip at the Gosforth course in November.
