Horse racing tips: Thursday, July 3
Harry Reynolds' selections NAP: High Approval (4.02 Yarmouth) 1pt win @ 4/7 with William Hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Other: Conjecture (3.02 Yarmouth) 1pt win @ 2/1 with William Hill ⭐⭐⭐ Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 3.02 Yarmouth – Class 5 Maiden Fillies' Stakes (7f) Inexperience cost CONJECTURE when runner-up on her debut at Beverley last Tuesday, but she can go one better here with that run under her belt. The Cheveley Park Stud-owned filly was very green that day and had to be switched outside in the final furlong, costing her both ground and momentum. However, when the penny finally dropped, her response was incredibly impressive. Conjecture rallied from last to finish second and, with the winner travelling like a potentially smart horse, compensation may await for Sir Mark Prescott's runner. Four of her six rivals are having their first starts, while the other two achieved little on debut to worry the daughter of Palace Pier. It looks like a good chance for her to open her account. 4.02 Yarmouth – Class Maiden Stakes (6f) Despite concerns about trainer Hamad Al Jehani's form, HIGH APPROVAL (NAP) has seemingly been found a great opportunity to break his maiden tag. As with Conjecture, High Approval suffered from inexperience on his first start and did well to finish a respectable third over today's trip at Nottingham. That form has received several boosts since, with the first and fourth both subsequently scoring by four lengths, while the fifth has also won. The Al Jehani yard has shown signs of life over the past couple of weeks after an incredibly quiet period, with placed efforts at big prices at Royal Ascot and Newcastle. James Doyle takes the ride for Wathnan Racing and the partnership is taken to see off the chief threat of Kodi Island, owned by his former employers Godolophin. Selection: High Approval (4.02, Yarmouth) 1pt win @ 4/7 with William Hill Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Perth (NH) 2.20-4.55 Yarmouth 2.32-5.05 Haydock 2.40-5.17 Kempton 4.37-8.43 Bellewstown 4.47-8.17 Tipperary (NH) 5.00-8.30 Newbury 6.05-9.00 What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'. What is an each-way bet? An each-way bet is a popular type of wager, particularly with horse racing fans. It is essentially two bets, both of which have the same size stake. An each-way bet features one bet on the selection to win and the other bet on the selection to place. So a £10 each-way bet will cost you a total of £20. There will be one £10 bet on the selection to win and another £10 on the selection to place. It's a popular bet because it offers punters the chance of a return, even if the horse in question fails to win. Bookmakers will pay out at a stated percentage of the odds for a place finish, for example one-fifth of the starting price (SP) for finishing in the first three. The more runners there are in a horse race, the more places will be on offer. In races that feature lots of runners, the horses will be available at bigger odds, making an each-way bet a wise choice.

Bond backing Maranoa Charlie to go the distance at Deauville
Monsieur Bond and Ladies Are Forever both famously flourished in the black and yellow spots of the late Reg Bond, who enjoyed Group One success in France as part-owner of 2014 Prix de l'Abbaye winner Move In Time. Now with son Charlie now at the helm, the Bond Thoroughbreds operation has a growing broodmare band at Yapham Mill Stud near Pocklington and have added a touch of quality to the ranks by swooping for Christopher Head's crack French-trained three-year-old Maranoa Charlie, who is blessed with both a glowing pedigree and impressive on-track CV. Monsieur Bond is one of the most famous names to represent the Yorkshire-based team (John Giles/PA) 'The reason we bought him was his form, but to have a colt with the speed in the pedigree from Tiggy Wiggy and by Wootton Bassett was so exciting to add to the ranks with what Bond Thoroughbreds is trying to achieve in racing,' said Charlie Bond. 'Wootton Bassett is flying at the minute and he looks to have great stallion potential for a long way down the line. We have a big broodmare band now, so we do need to be looking towards the future as well. 'We saw his last win and the time of the race compared to the other racing that day and he won a bit cosily carrying a penalty. The previous owners were fantastic to deal with and will be joining us on Sunday at Deauville.' Maranoa Charlie was subject to plenty of hype as a two-year-old when effortlessly winning his first three starts before seeing his momentum checked when upped to Group One level at Saint-Cloud in the final outing of his juvenile campaign. Maranoa Charlie leads them all the way in the Prix Paul de Moussac! 🇫🇷 The high-class Lazzat took the Group Three contest last year, what next for @CHeadRacing's talented colt? — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) June 8, 2025 However, he has left that minor blip in the past since returning this season, winning two Group Three contests to tee-up a return to the highest level at Deauville – which in turn could lead to a raiding mission to York for the upgraded Sky Bet City of York Stakes on August 23. 'The main race for him will probably be the City of York which Christopher identified and it is our home track, which I think will really suit him,' added Bond. 'Obviously we will see how he gets on stepping back into to Group One company on Sunday, Christopher is looking forward to running him and we'll get to see what level he is at. Cosmic Year is a possible opponent of Maranoa Charlie (David Davies/PA) 'It's the best of the best in the Jean Prat and we're straight in there in a really hot race. 'But his stature, when you look at the videos we've been sent of him, has been impressive and we're really looking forward to seeing him in person. 'I'm also really looking forward to seeing him as a four-year-old. He's a great looking horse now, but the potential improvement at four looks to be there.' Maranoa Charlie is one of eight standing their ground for the Deauville feature, with Harry Charlton's Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year and Charlie Appleby's dual Group One-winning two-year-old Shadow Of Light providing further British interest.

Sosie carrying French hopes of total Eclipse at the weekend
The four-year-old has won six of his nine starts for Andre Fabre, breaking his Group One duck in the Grand Prix de Paris last season before signing off with a fourth-placed finish in the Arc. The Sea The Stars colt appears to have taken his game to another level since returning to action this spring, successfully dropping back in trip to land both the Prix Ganay and the Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp, and connections expect a stiff mile and a quarter at Sandown to suit him ideally. Sosie lands the Group One Prix Ganay on his seasonal reappearance!🇫🇷 The Sea The Stars colt was always doing enough to hold on from the fast-finishing Map Of Stars! — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) April 27, 2025 Pierre-Yves Bureau, racing manager for owners the Wertheimer brothers, said: 'I think he's a very good horse, he's won three Group Ones and we're very excited to travel him to England for such a big race. 'The fact he has now won Group Ones over nine furlongs and 10 furlongs changed a lot of things, of course. I don't know how the ground (at Sandown) is going to be at the moment, but he will be happy with good ground.' Sosie is second-favourite for the Eclipse behind John and Thady Gosden's Ombudsman, who is set to turn out less than three weeks after his brilliant display in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. Aidan O'Brien's French Derby winner Camille Pissarro and the Owen Burrows-trained Anmaat are other contenders for what looks a particularly strong renewal, but having seen Vadeni become the first French-trained winner of the race since 1960 three years ago, Sosie's camp are relishing the challenge. 'I think it's a very good test and it's a very strong field,' Bureau added. 'It will be interesting to see the three-year-olds and it comes quite quickly for the horses after Royal Ascot, but our horse is doing very well and hopefully he can be competitive.' It is 10 years since the famous Wertheimer silks were last carried into the Group One winner's enclosure in Britain, with Solow winning the Queen Anne, the Sussex Stakes and the QEII during a fantastic 2015 campaign. Bureau said: 'We don't come that often, but we like to come with horses that have strong chances. 'It's going to be very exciting, hopefully Sosie can continue the very nice start he has made this year.'
