Horse racing tips: Thursday selections from Newsboy for cards at Lingfield, Salisbury, Warwick and Chelmsford

SO SLEEPY (2.10, nap) is fancied to build on a return to form at Lingfield Park nine days ago to lift the Follow @AtTheRaces On Handicap at the Surrey venue on Thursday.

The William Muir and Chris Grassic-trained daughter of Oasis Dream got her career off to a flying start when landing a novice stakes for fillies over this course and distance in August of last year.

Things went badly downhill from there – So Sleepy failed to beat a rival in her final two starts of 2022 and her first four attempts this season also saw her come home in last place.

My selection came within a head and a nose of taking advantage when a fast-finishing third to Zing Up here last time, coming from the back in a race which saw the first two hold prominent positions.

The assessor has reacted with a 2lb nudge up the weights but Callum Shepherd’s mount is still rated 18lb below her peak and can double her career tally.

Chelmsford specialist MONAADHIL (6.00, nb) remains of interest in the Racing Welfare Handicap despite a defeat at the Essex Showground last time out.

Ruth Carr’s four-time course winner had to wait for a gap before steaming home into fifth behind Kodi Noir and is expected to give another good account.
