Horse racing tips: Sunday selections from Newsboy for cards at Stratford, Redcar and Newton Abbot

Newsboy's Nap selection for Sunday, July 23, is the Ewan Whillans-trained Cracking Destiny at Stratford (3.22). The next best is Redcar runner Funky Town Pinkie (2.10)

CRACKING DESTINY (3.22, nap) is fancied to build on a last-time-out course and distance win to land the Rosemary Gasson Big Birthday Celebration Handicap Chase at Stratford on Sunday.

The Ewan Whillans-trained 10 year old confirmed this season's previous promise and ended an almost two-year losing run when combining with Craig Nicholl to beat Blaze A Trail by four and a quarter lengths 19 days ago.

A 5lb rise in the weights for that performance looks within range.

At Redcar, point your way to success with Funky Town Pinkie (2.10, nb) in the Go Racing In Yorkshire Future Stars Apprentice Handicap.

This dual winner on the all weather over the winter ran well on the back of five months off when second of six in a handicap at Nottingham 24 days ago, keeping on in the final furlong having conceded first run.

He remains low-mileage on turf and can impress again.
