Friday Racing Tips<\/p>\n
Gnomon (Haydock, 13.55) \u2013 1pt win @ 11\/1 QuinnBet<\/a>Bubbles Wonky (Haydock, 15.05) \u2013 0.5pts each-way @ 9\/1 bet365<\/a>Illy\u2019s Roo (Haydock, 15.40) \u2013 1pt win @ 4\/1 bet365<\/a>Kinswoman (Haydock, 16.50) \u2013 1pt win @ 2\/1 William Hill<\/a>Taygar (Redcar, 15.25) \u2013 0.5pts each-way @ 11\/2 bet365<\/a>Knightmare (Redcar, 16.00) \u2013 0.5pts each-way @ 12\/1 QuinnBet<\/a><\/p>\n The flat season is winding down in the UK, but before the big send-off with British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday, we\u2019ve dived into the cards at Haydock Park and Redcard on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n CopyBet Handicap (Haydock, 13.55)<\/p>\n A field of just eight has been declared but there\u2019s an open feel to this contest. High Point narrowly got the better of Contacto over C&D last time. The latter has a chance of reversing those placings on these revised terms, while Coedana arrives seeking a hat-trick and Dino Bellagio is another coming here in winning form.<\/p>\n However, preference is for GNOMON, who was a decisive winner here over slightly shorter last month, when 6lb lower. The Time Test gelding was then stepped up to 1m6f at Ffos Las last month, when he failed to get home in very testing ground.<\/p>\n With no rain of any note forecast, he should be much better suited by slow, rather than bottomless, conditions and he comes back here as an unexposed performer over this trip. He could prove to be a value punt on betting sites<\/a>, given that poor run last time and he looks capable of getting his career back on track.<\/p>\n Friday racing tip 1: Gnomon (Haydock, 13.55) \u2013 1pt win @ 11\/1 QuinnBet<\/a><\/p>\n Live Racing Streaming At CopyBet Handicap (Haydock, 15.05)<\/p>\n Eternal Force should go off as the market leader on horse racing betting sites<\/a> for this and he\u2019d be a worthy favourite after adding a hard-fought handicap win to the maiden he landed on his penultimate start.<\/p>\n However, at a much bigger price, BUBBLES WONKY looks to represent a bit of value. Tim Easterby\u2019s four-year-old is back up 2lb after going very close at Hamilton last time. <\/p>\n He goes well on soft ground and is often seen up with or setting the pace. That was the case last time out, when he was collared late on and his opponents here wouldn\u2019t want to let him have too much rope.<\/p>\n I would accept that a record of 2-16 is not going to have the layers running scared but he certainly has the ability to run into the frame at a good price and, if things drop right, he could cause a bit of an upset.<\/p>\n Friday racing tip 2: Bubbles Wonky (Haydock, 15.05) \u2013 0.5pts each-way @ 9\/1 bet365<\/a><\/p>\n Safer Gambling With CopyBet Nursery Handicap (Haydock, 15.40) <\/p>\n You won\u2019t see me putting up too many in nurseries but occasionally, you see one that really interests you and in my case, there\u2019s one here in ILLY\u2019S ROO.<\/p>\n Given the nature of the contest, a field of inexperienced performers, we don\u2019t have a huge amount to go on but, after an inauspicious start to his career at Newbury, he came good last time.<\/p>\n I understand that there will be detractors here. The favourite didn\u2019t perform when the selection won at Salisbury (7f, good) last time, while the second and third were double-figure prices, so clearly expectations weren\u2019t high.<\/p>\n However, he lengthened very nicely when asked to do his job by Tom Marquand and he won that race with authority. To me, he looks to have got in lightly for this nursery debut and I\u2019m taking him to follow up.<\/p>\n Friday racing tip 3: Illy\u2019s Roo (Haydock, 15.40) \u2013 1pt win @ 4\/1 bet365<\/a><\/p>\n Weatherbys Stallion Book Handicap (Haydock, 16.50)<\/p>\n I sided with KINSWOMAN a week ago at York, when she found just one too good but showed a great attitude to be closest to the winner at the post, having seen him get first run on her<\/p>\n She is thriving at present and this lovely, galloping straight course ought to be ideal for her. As I mentioned last week, she\u2019s a speedy type of whom Tom Marquand said earlier in the season, was one they\u2019d found the key to when they dropped her back to this, the minimum trip.<\/p>\n She\u2019ll have to prove she can handle slow ground if she is to get back to winning ways (her dam won on good to soft) and if she can, I think she\u2019ll take some beating.<\/p>\n Friday racing tip 4: Kinswoman (Haydock, 16.50) \u2013 1pt win @ 2\/1 William Hill<\/a><\/p>\n Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap (Redcar, 15.25)<\/p>\n Redcar can be one of the trickier tracks to find winners and Friday\u2019s card looks like a chip off the old block. However, there could be an opportunity in this 6f handicap, with the Michael Dods-trained TAYGAR.<\/p>\n The four-year-old is a C&D winner and acts best on good ground or slower. He\u2019s been out of sorts on his last two starts, including over C&D last time and he\u2019s now on a mark 2lb lower than when scoring at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in July.<\/p>\n He has plenty of form this season at the sort of level that would enable him to favourably exploit this mark and he could prove to be an attractive price on betting apps<\/a> given those last couple of efforts. He looks worth a small each-way play.<\/p>\n Friday racing tip 5: Taygar (Redcar, 15.25) \u2013 0.5pts each-way @ 11\/2 bet365<\/a><\/p>\n Race Live On Racing TV Handicap (Redcar, 16.00)<\/p>\n I think the handicap newcomer KNIGHTMARE is of interest now entering this sphere. He was a beaten favourite on his second start, at Lingfield (6f, AW) when he hung left late on, which wouldn\u2019t have done his chances a whole lot of good. <\/p>\n He then met with traffic problems at Southwell (6f, AW) last time out but did at least manage to show a little improvement in the process. This step up in trip should be a positive on his first run in this sphere and he looks better treated than plenty of others in the line-up. He\u2019s another to play each-way to small stakes.<\/p>\n Friday racing tip 6: Knightmare (Redcar, 16.00) \u2013 0.5pts each-way @ 12\/1 QuinnBet<\/a><\/p>\n Responsible gambling<\/p>\n If you\u2019re having a bet on Friday\u2019s racing, remember to practice responsible gambling.<\/p>\n Betting can be addictive, and it\u2019s important to stay in control of your gambling, whether you\u2019re using the best betting sites UK<\/a>, casino sites<\/a>, slot sites<\/a>, bingo sites<\/a> or any other gambling platform. <\/p>\n Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop.<\/p>\n Gambling sites<\/a> offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help you stay in control.<\/p>\n Try not to get carried away by free bets<\/a> or casino bonuses<\/a>, which are widely available on gambling apps<\/a>. <\/p>\n But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don\u2019t hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.<\/p>\n We may earn commission from some of the links in this article, but we never allow this to influence our content.
