UK Horse Racing Tips

In the opening Henry Semmence 60th Birthday Tour Handicap (2.00) at Lingfield on Friday, Skidby Mill was, understandably, completely outclassed by Volunteer Point and company in the All-Weather Fillies’ and Mares’ Championships Conditions Stakes a week ago, but had previously been in excellent form and can resume winning ways. In fact, Laura Mongan’s 6-year-old is just 1lb higher than when winning over course and distance, in this grade, earlier this month, so must surely be involved in the finish if sufficiently recovered from last week’s exertions.

Her latest win came in a five-runner affair, in which all of her rivals pulled hard, but she displayed a willing attitude at the head of affairs when joined with half a mile to run and she can record her fourth course and distance win under Jim Crowley and her eighth in all. Quite what connections we trying to achieve by running her against opposition rated up to 35lb superior last week is hard to fathom, but this is her level and she can earn due reward for her consistency.
