Horse racing tips July 3: Horses you MUST back at Thirsk, Bath and Kempton
HUGO PALMER might be lacking a stable star since those heady days when Galileo Gold landed the 2,000 Guineas in 2016, but he can enjoy success at a lower level with SIGLO SIX (4,10, nap) at Thirsk.
After a promising racecourse debut, when seventh behind Conaglen at Newcastle in April, Siglo Six finished an excellent second behind Current Option at Thirsk.
On that occasion he was doing all of his best work at the tail end of the race and today’s step up from seven furlongs to a mile will be ideal.
Also, the strength of that contest stands up well. The third home, Alkaraama, was an impressive winner on his previous outing.
Ghaziyahi is the expected danger. This is more in expectation than ability shown on the track.
The daughter of Galileo failed to figure on her solitary run when seventh behind Dancing Vega at Doncaster in October. However, she has a smart pedigree and is expected to improve.
Ralph Beckett and Harry Bentley can continue their excellent run of good fortune with WINGREE (8.20, nb) at Kempton.
The pair enjoyed their first success together at Royal Ascot last month with Biometric.
Wingree is unlikely to rock up at the royal meeting but is well-handicapped in this moderate contest.
She failed to fire on her recent run but has a cracking chance on her penultimate effort when third behind Canton Queen at Leicester in September.
Canton Queen has since run well in listed and Group company.
The former point-to-pointer SKINFLINT (5.20, treble) can open his account under rules at Worcester.
He was not disgraced when second behind Midnight Folie at Newton Abbot last month and has the very capable Connor Brace on his back.
