Expert Steve Mullington gives his daily racing tips, including a NAP, NB and a Longshot. Scroll down now to find out horse racing tips Saturday 11th June at Chester and York...
Today's NAP (Best Bet)
2.45 Chester - Golden Melody
All roads lead to the Roodee again the four-year-old filly Golden Melody who attempts to win at the Roman amphitheatre for the second time in her career.
Her form figures at Chester read 2-1-3, so she has to be taken seriously off her mark of 75 in this 1m 2½f handicap.
Last time out at Hamilton she was just pipped on the post in a Sunday Series Fillies' Handicap, with several winners subsequently coming out of that race since, so the form is very strong.
If you are betting on horse races online on Saturday, take an early price on this Tim Easterby-trained filly.
Although out of form so far this season, Michael Attwater’s Lone Ranger has previously run two cracking races at this venue and must rank as a forecast contender.
Today's NB (Next Best)
2.00 York – Arctic Fox
Just over a week ago 16-year-old rider Fern O’Brien went through the heartbreak of riding a Hunter Chaser to “victory” at Cartmel, only to be cruelly disqualified for weighing in light.
Today she can turn that disappointment into joy in this 1m 4f handicap for female amateur jockeys.
Arctic Fox is a previous course and distance winner here after winning this very race in 2019, and there is every reason to believe the six-year-old can be on the premises once again.
Dangers: Casilli and Dash Of Spice
Today's Longshot
3.40 York – Vintage Clarets
Richard Fahey’s Vintage Clarets reached an official ratings high of 103 last season and was a two-year-old to be reckoned with.
Things haven’t quite clicked into place yet this term on the handicapping front but the colt has to be worth another shot in this Heritage feature.
Currently trading around the 33/1 mark, it’s pretty hard to ignore any Fahey runner at York given his exemplary record on the Knavesmire.
Fahey’s other runner – Admiral D is one to ponder over too under jockey Oisin Orr.
