Rhys Williams' Racing Tips: 3 Selections For Saturday

Horse racing expert Rhys Williams is sharing his best selections for today's racing.

Rhys has been a racing analyst for over 10 years, working for At The Races and most recently as a tipster for Betfair, where his tipping column had a 31% ROI over four and a half years. 

He often focuses away from the front end of the market, finding angles that aren't evident to most.

Rhys' tips have returned 319.87 points from 177.0 points staked, meaning his profit and loss record stands at a whopping +142.87pts overall - thanks to a sensational recent spell that included Lamar Canyon's win at 150/1 on Tuesday. 

Here are Rhys' tips for today, using the most up-to-date odds from the best horse racing betting sites.

15:25 Beverley: Who's Lope - 1pt Win @ 3/1

Urchin was a wide-margin winner last time and is a very short-priced favourite to follow up in this novice contest, but it was an extremely weak contest that he won last time.

I think he could be more vulnerable than the market suggests carrying a penalty against his two rivals.

Who’s Lope was green on his only start as a two-year-old and after a break and being gelded, he took a significant step forward at Salisbury earlier this month. 

He was no match for the smart Wareeth that day, but stayed on well to finish second, just ahead of Ramli who has previously run to a good level on his flat debut. 

The step up in trip at a stiff track looks an obvious positive for Who’s Lope - given that performance, and while there is a concern that this could be end up being slowly run and not being as much of a test as he might ideally want, I think he’s more of danger to the favourite than the market suggests. 

Any 5/2 or bigger appeals.

Rhys' Selection 1: 15:25 Beverley: Who's Lope - 1pt Win

18:00 Tramore: Midnight Moonshine - 0.5pt Win @ 11/1

Midnight Moonshine was well beaten when last seen, but that looked to be a confidence boosting project and now that he’s back racing over a more suitable trip, I think he can bounce back to a much better level.

He put together a string of good efforts in handicap chases last year including when finishing third behind the very well-handicapped Rising Dust at Thurles. 

Midnight Moonshine was kept away from winter ground after that and returned at Limerick, where he didn’t jump too convincingly before diving at the seventh and coming down.

The run over two miles at Wexford last time looked to be about boosting his confidence after that fall, and his jumping was cautious early on - but it got better as the race progressed and he made a little late headway. 

Midnight Moonshine is now back to racing over a suitable trip, and the quality of those runs in handicap chases last season suggest he can run better this his price suggests - if his jumping holds up. 

Any 8/1 or bigger appeals.

18:30 Tramore: Revolut Ned - 1pt Win @ 15/2

Revolut Ned makes his handicap debut, and if he’s able to transfer the ability he’s shown in points to racing under rules, then an opening mark of 87 could underplay his ability.

He’s often shown ability in the pointing sphere - despite jumping sometimes letting him down and not always finishing too strongly over the three mile trip. 

He ran well on his first start in a hunter chase at this track last year, when a close third before his form took a dip.

Revolut Ned has bounced back since returning to action this point season with a good run behind Hearts And Spades on his first start of the season.

The bad ground was against him when tailed off at Limerick and he duly bounced back on his latest start at Loughrea where he made plenty of headway going down the back straight for the final time to track the leader turning the bend towards two out. 

He got in close to two out and looked like he might be beaten but, for him, he showed a surprising late charge to pick up and win going away.

That was a different side to Revolut Ned, who has had wind issues and been a weak finisher in the past, and that is encouraging for his return to racing under rules. 

This ground is in his favour and while I’m not sure a track like this is ideal for his running style, he’s at least shown that he can handle it. Any 5/1 or bigger appeals.
