Friday horse racing tips
- THIRSK
3.38: Artagnan 8/1 each-way (1pt) - SANDOWN
2.15: Exclamation 11/4 (1pt)
3.15: Accredit 10/3 (1pt)
Artagnan
Not been seen for a while but that shouldn’t affect his ability to come back into it after being so consistent in the last three runs of 2024.
His win at Goodwood to land £31k was impressive and then he showed even at 11lb higher at Doncaster that he’s still able to cope with it.
The Wathan Racing-owned horse was gelded in October and also changed from Karl Burke to trainer Hamad Al Jehani who’s in great form the last couple of weeks. Very promising each-way chance.
Exclamation
Decent in some higher class handicaps and then proved that form when winning by a big distance at Doncaster in a novice event.
Surely only has one way to go but up after that and there’s obviously confidence this horse is potentially better than rated as he was sent into Group 2 company at Royal Ascot.
Accredit
Incredible pedigree for this two-year-old making his debut for trainer John & Thady Gosden, owned by Juddmonte so Colin Keane gets the mount.
10/3 looks an attractive price here especially after the initial narrow favourite Pinatubo colt, Beccadelli for Godolphin has been withdrawn.
