Newsboy’s horseracing tips for Friday’s five meetings, including Doncaster Nap
Newsboy fancies his nap, Tintintin, to win at Doncaster and also hopes Young Buster can score at Kelso and complete his Daily Double
by David Yates · Irish MirrorTINTINTIN (3.20, nap) can show his mettle at Doncaster on Friday afternoon for in-form trainer Paul Nicholls.
The four-year-old ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Cheltenham last month before fading and, with that run under his belt, cosily accounted for seven rivals at Lingfield earlier this month.
Always prominent, the son of Tin Horse disputed the lead after two out and kept on well to beat Artistic Endeavour by one and a quarter lengths.
A 4lb rise should not prevent him from going in again in the Try The Racing App Today Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle under Jack Hogan.
YOUNG BUSTER (1.55, nb) stands out in the Children's Immunology Trust CHAS Novices' Handicap Chase at Kelso.
The Fergal O-Brien-trained seven-year-old is a 2m4f hurdles winner and looks even better as a chaser, winning both his starts to date.
He won at Warwick in May over 2m4f and then improved again to beat his rivals by six and a half lengths at Kelso over 3m.
The drop back in trip to 2m6f should not worry him especially with the ground likely to be soft and he is fancied to complete the hat-trick.
