Newsboy’s Daily Double plus tips on every race from Thursday’s four meetings
SECRET TRIX can notch his second victory at Fakenham by beating nine rivals for the Little Snoring Conditional Jockeys’ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (1.40) in north Norfolk today.
Olly Murphy’s son of Kayf Tara drew a blank on his first five attempts over hurdles, but hit the bullseye when stepped up in trip to this afternoon’s course and distance in mid-November, travelling strongly before knuckling down to beat Doireann by three-quarters of a length.
And Secret Trix again ran with credit over three miles when beaten half a length and a neck in third behind Shot Boii at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve.
My selection would have gone close to following up but for making a hash of the final flight, and rider Daire Davis’s 8lb claim goes a long way towards offsetting a 3lb rise in the weights.
Fakenham hosts a jumps meeting on Thursday when Newsboy’s nap, Secret Trix, runs in the opening race at 1.40 At Wincanton, MIDNIGHT MIDGE is the selection to give his opponents weight and a beating in the Jenningsbet Eastleigh Novices’ Handicap Chase (2.30).
Philip Hobbs’ nine-year-old can a fine race with a length-and-a-quarter second to Not Available over course and distance last time out and has strong claimse of going one better off the same British Horseracing Authority mark of 120.
