Horse racing tips: Sunday selections from Newsboy for cards at Beverley, Goodwood and Yarmouth
Newsboy's Nap selection for Sunday, August 20, is the Michael Dods-trained Midnight Lir at Beverley (2.15). The next best is another runner at the East Yorkshire course Goblet Of Fire (5.10)
MIDNIGHT LIR (2.15, nap) is fancied to give his rivals weight and a beating in the Willerby Holiday Homes And Lodges Nursery Handicap at Beverley on Sunday.
Michael Dods’ two-year-old justified 4-9 favouritism in a course-and-distance maiden last time out, quickening clear in the final 200 yards, and a British Horseracing Authority rating of 84 looks within range for Connor Beasley’s mount.
GOBLET OF FIRE (5.10, nb) would be an aptly named winner of the concluding It's Bullet Day Next Saturday Handicap at the East Yorkshire track.
The Nigel Tinkler-trained three year old has won back-to-back events at Hamilton and Yarmouth in recent months.
He was then a creditable third of seven in a handicap at Windsor 13 days ago and that should set him up nicely for another victory here.
