Ben Linfoot’s Expert Horse Racing Tips for ITV Racing at Newbury and York’s Dante Festival Day Three
As the racing action continues at York’s Dante Festival and Newbury, our form expert Ben Linfoot has provided his top tips for day three of the festival, which takes place on Friday, May 16. According to Sporting Life, Linfoot has four strong selections for the day, with a focus on horses that have the potential to secure wins.
In the 2.42 at York, Linfoot recommends backing Austrian Theory in the Knights Solicitors Handicap. The horse, trained by Tim Easterby, has started the turf season well and is in great form, having run second to Paddy The Squire at Chester last week. With an eight-day break since his last run, Austrian Theory appears finely tuned for this assignment. Sporting Life quotes Linfoot as saying that Austrian Theory "isn’t a frequent winner by any means, but his last two victories have come off the back of six and nine-day breaks".
At 7/1, Eternal Solace is Linfoot’s top pick in the 2.10 at York’s Marygate Fillies’ Stakes. The two-year-old filly, trained by Ollie Sangster, impressed on her debut with a three-length win at Brighton, and her owners, The Cool Silk Partnership, have a good record in this race. Linfoot notes that Eternal Solace’s half-sister, Yes I’m Mali, was a York winner for the same ownership group at last year’s Ebor Festival.
In the 4.15 at York, Linfoot suggests backing Sudden Flight in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Handicap. The horse, trained by Richard Hughes, has shown promising form on the all-weather and is set to make his turf debut. With jockey William Buick booked for the ride, Sudden Flight could be a strong contender at 15/2.
At Newbury, Linfoot recommends Kind Of Kiss in the 2.25 Titan Wealth Handicap. The son of Sea The Stars has been running well in slowly-run all-weather contests and looks suited to a strong gallop. Trainer Kevin Phillipart de Foy has a good record with top weights in handicaps, and jockey Daniel Muscutt has ridden him to success before.
