UK Horse Racing Tips

In the 5.45 at Salisbury on Tuesday, Duke Of North has struck up a good relationship with Rhiain Ingram, winning a similar race over 7 furlongs on the course, off a 5lb lower mark, three starts ago and running creditably in defeat over 7½ furlongs and a mile on turf and Polytrack off revised marks. He won over 6 furlongs as recently as last October, so dropping back in distance shouldn’t hinder his chance unnecessarily and he can resume winning ways. He’s spoilt his chance a few times over 6 furlongs by starting very slowly, but that irksome predisposition appears to be a thing of the past and, if so, the steady uphill climb throughout the last half-mile at Salisbury should be to his liking, as it’s been before. Rhiain Ingram has a 2-6 (33%) strike rate at Salisbury, for a level stakes profit of 16.50 points and must have a decent chance of improving that record.
