The Weekend Winners team has reconvened ahead of another Saturday of racing to discuss the best betting angles. At the end of the show, each of the three tipsters nominated a NAP, a next best and a longshot, with Declan Rix focusing on Doncaster for his top fancy.
Rix's NAP is Hi Corbett Court in the Prospect Stakes at 2.05 at Doncaster on Saturday, for the Paddy Twomey and Billy Lee team. He believes the horse has stronger form than Bengal Tiger from a sales race in which he ran well, and says he has a bit of class about him and significant knee action that should help him on Saturday. His longshot is Sovereign Spell, trained by Kevin Phillipart de Foy, in the opener at Doncaster. Rix says the horse's Newmarket form this season suggests he is well handicapped, and that he goes well fresh and comes here off a break.
Kate Tracey's NAP is Bengal Tiger in the Listed Prospect Stakes, which she puts down purely to the lack of quality behind him. She feels the cheekpieces have helped and sees this as a good opportunity for him to win again. Her next best is Katate Dori for Sam Thomas in the staying chase. She notes his trainer always starts the season well, the horse is fitted with first-time blinkers, and he is well handicapped on last year's form.
Sam Boswell's NAP is Burning Up in the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. He expects the conditions to suit and believes the horse will handle the flatter track, with good pace on paper. His next best is Thyingman, a Joe Tizzard-trained runner in a bumper race, whose yard is in fine form with four winners at Ffos Las recently. The horse won at Hereford on soft ground on his first career start, and Boswell hopes the test will suit him again.
