Expert Steve Mullington gives his daily racing tips, including a NAP, NB and a Longshot. Scroll down now to find out horse racing tips Thursday 14th July at Longchamp, Leopardstown and Hamilton...
Today's NAP (Best Bet)
7.50 Longchamp - L'Astronome
What better way to celebrate Bastille Day in France than a tip in the French capital on Thursday evening for the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris.
Six runners go to post in this 1m 4f contest and one of the talking horses of the French season thus far is the Francis Graffard-trained L'Astronome.
Unbeaten in his three starts this term, this son of Frankel steps up an extra furlong on this his fourth outing since April.
Top jockey Christophe Soumillon takes the ride and he is certainly a pilot to have on your side in these top Group races around the world, especially when you’re investing in sports betting.
Today's NB (Next Best)
7.20 Leopardstown – Patrick Sarsfield
There’s Group 3 action at Leopardstown on Thursday evening and this column is going to give the Joseph O’Brien-trained Patrick Sarsfield one last chance for redemption.
When I tipped the six-year-old up last time out, he went off the 6/4 favourite but trailed home last. That run was too bad to be true and I’m sure whatever was amiss that day will have been rectified now after a break of 49 days.
With all but Trevaunance struggling to find the winning thread this season, this is a great chance for Patrick Sarsfield to bounce back to form and exert his authority.
Today's Longshot
2.20 Hamilton – Hard Solution
David O’Meara’s Hard Solution is quite a difficult horse to catch right, with his last two runs being simply woeful. But he is however a course and distance winner and does boast eight victories to his name from his 58 career start.
O’Meara, Tudhope, C&D and the aforementioned stats make Hard Solution an attractive each-way betting proposition for those of you placing your horse racing online bets.
