Expert Steve Mullington gives his daily racing tips, including a NAP, NB and a Longshot. Scroll down now to find out horse racing tips Sunday 12th June at Downpatrick, Salisbury and Doncaster...
Today's NAP (Best Bet)
3.30 Downpatrick – Mr Moondance
Veteran performer Mr Moondance has a great chance of adding another victory to his career tally of five by taking this 2m 1½f handicap hurdle. The eleven-year-old faces just five other competitors with two of those looking highly unlikely to figure.
Mr Moondance has previously scored on his return from a long absence so do not let 282 days put you off backing him.
He has also won over this course and distance before, picking up this equivalent race twelve months ago at odds of 18/1.
He won’t be those kind of odds on Sunday afternoon but he certainly won’t be the favourite as the online horse racing betting will side with the Gordon Elliott runner – Britzka.
Today's NB (Next Best)
3.50 Salisbury – Nahaarr
Prolific in 2019, winning his first four starts, Nahaarr took his form to a new level in 2020, landing a massive gamble when winning the Ayr Gold Cup.
Last season saw him beaten a neck by Starman in the Duke of York Stakes and then he wasn’t beaten too far in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
He’s clearly not heading to that venue next week, but looks the ideal candidate to take this Salisbury feature – the Listed Cathedral Stakes.
Forecast players may want to add Cheveley Park’s Benefit to their betting slips.
Today's Longshot
5.07 Doncaster – Hello Power
The Richard Fahey Ebor Racing Club have already tasted victory this week with My Little Queens at Wetherby and another filly can possibly oblige for them at Doncaster on Sunday.
Hello Power is the only winning horse in the entire field, having landed a 7f handicap at Southwell in April.
Her only two runs on the turf have hardly been inspiring but she could easily improve to give the top three horses in the handicap something to think about given the amount of weight she receives from them.
Oisin Orr is a decent jockey booking and he is enjoying a fair degree of success at the moment.
