Horse racing tips: Sunday selections from Newsboy for cards at Chester, Haydock and Market Rasen
Newsboy's Nap selection for Sunday, August 6, is the Harriet Bethell-trained On The River at Chester (408). The next best is another runner at The Roodee, Alba Longa (2.00)
ON THE RIVER (4.08) has a strong hand as he seeks a fifth success of 2023 in the Halliwell Jones Handicap at Chester on Sunday.
Harriet Bethell’s four year old scored for the fourth time this year with a length-and-a-quarter from subsequent Glorious Goodwood victor Rhoscolyn at Beverley 13 days ago.
And a 3lb rise in the weights, negated by crack apprentice Harry Davies being up top, should not prevent another bold show.
In the opening event at The Roodee, ALBA LONG (2.00) is primed to land the Britvic Handicap.
Ralph Beckett's three year old got off the mark in impressive fashion at Windsor in heavy conditions in May.
And he matched that form when third of 7 in a handicap at Goodwood 44 days ago.
He remains low mileage and has a good chance in this seven-runner field.
