Racing expert Newsboy has pinpointed two standout selections for Monday's action, with his Nap running at Wolverhampton and his next best bet competing over fences at Sedgefield.
Wolverhampton Nap Ready to Strike Again
All eyes will be on the all-weather track at Wolverhampton for the Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (8.30), where the spotlight falls on Gustav Graves. This veteran seven-year-old sprinter, trained by Derek Shaw, ended a 14-race losing streak with a decisive victory over the same course and distance just three weeks ago.
In a field of 11 rivals, Gustav Graves demonstrated his trademark late speed to secure a win by a length and a quarter. The gelding has a remarkable affinity for the Dunstall Park circuit, with seven of his nine career wins being achieved here. Newsboy believes the race dynamics, with several front-runners like Sam’s Xpress likely to set a strong gallop, will play perfectly into the hands of his selection.
Sedgefield Next Best Fancied to Follow Up
Over at Sedgefield, the Chris Blanckley 79th Birthday Celebration Handicap Chase (2.55) features Newsboy's next best bet, El Muchacho. The eight-year-old, partnered by jockey Aaron Anderson for trainer Mike Sowersby, scored a convincing victory over course and distance 18 days ago.
Despite now carrying an extra 1lb in weight, the combination is expected to confirm their superiority over Largy Train and the rest of the field. This confident assessment makes El Muchacho a key part of any Monday accumulator.
