Racing enthusiasts are in for a thrilling day of action as ITV brings comprehensive coverage from two of Britain's most picturesque courses. Newsboy, the Mirror's renowned tipping expert, has analysed every runner and rider to deliver his verdict on today's featured contests.
Exeter's National Hunt Showcase
The West Country track at Exeter presents a compelling card of jumps racing, with several promising prospects making their seasonal debuts. The ground conditions are expected to play a crucial role in determining outcomes, with good to soft underfoot conditions testing both stamina and speed.
Newsboy's NAP selection comes in the feature handicap chase, where he's identified a well-handicapped runner with proven course form. "This horse has been crying out for this longer trip and the trainer has an excellent record with similar types," Newsboy revealed.
Hexham's Northern Challenge
Meanwhile, up in Northumberland, Hexham offers its own brand of challenging jumping tests. The undulating track and often testing ground make this a true examination of a horse's credentials. Newsboy has pinpointed several value bets throughout the card, including an each-way selection that could outrun its generous odds.
"The market has underestimated this runner's ability to handle the unique demands of Hexham," Newsboy explained. "With the stable in good form and the jockey booking significant, I'm expecting a big run at an attractive price."
Key Factors for Today's Racing
- Track specialists: Several runners have proven form at their respective courses
- Trainer form: Key yards have been among the winners recently
- Going conditions: The ground will suit some runners more than others
- Fitness edge: Some contenders have the benefit of recent runs
For those looking to follow Newsboy's advice, he recommends a combination of singles and a carefully constructed multiple bet that covers his strongest fancies across both meetings.
Remember to gamble responsibly and never bet more than you can afford to lose. The excitement of racing should always be enjoyed within sensible limits.
