Newsboy went through the card on Saturday – here are his Monday racing tips
BRAVE BOB is fancied to build on the promise of his debut in the sphere at Redcar last month to land the Luxury Breaks At Western House Hotel Handicap (4.05) at Ayr today.
Julie Camacho's son of Oasis Dream didn't trouble the judge on his first three starts, all at Doncaster, but earned a British Horseracing Authority mark of 54 as a result.
Brave Bob went off at 10-1 in a field of 11 for a six-furlong handicap on Teesside 16 days ago and ran on well to the finish to take fourth behind Baby Rover.
Sam James takes over from 5lb claimer Tom Kiely-Marshall this afternoon aboard my selection, who competes from an unchanged rating here.
Camacho is currently knocking in winners at a one-in-four strike-rate and, with further progress to come on the fifth outing of his career, Brave Bob is expected to show to the fore.
James could also be in luck aboard HALF SOVEREIGN in the opening EBF Stallions Restricted Novice Stakes (1.30).
Karl Burke's youngster made his racecourse bow at Redcar on the same card that saw Brave Bob start out in handicaps, and the way he came home from a hopeless position to take fourth behind Finegans Rainbow augurs well for this afternoon.
Newsboy left his followers in seventh heaven when going through the card at Beverley on Saturday with a sensational 12,936-1 seven-timer.
And he was not the only Mirror tipster in fine form on Saturday.
The paper's Value Scope column, written by tipping titan Steve Jones, singled out 11-1 winner Expert Angel at Haydock and two other each-way bets were both placed at 18-1 – Arisaig and Night Breeze.
For good measure, his fourth each-way selection Shagraan was also placed at 11-1.

Wimbledon tech fiasco forces Brit's match to be stopped after Emma Raducanu outcry
Sonay Kartal's match with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was thrown into controversy when new line-calling technology failed to register a ball which had landed beyond the baseline Sonay Kartal's Wimbledon showdown with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova saw an unexpected halt when the automated line calling system failed to signal a ball out in the first set. Kartal had sent the ball long past the baseline, yet no 'out' call was made by the technology. Play came to a halt while the umpire sought to resolve the issue, eventually resulting in the point being replayed. The official, consulting his courtside phone, confirmed the situation but couldn't overturn what had happened. He explained to the players and audience onlooking: "The electronic line calling system was unable to track the last point so we will replay the point." If the 'out' had been acknowledged, Pavlyuchenkova would have secured the game against her British rival on Centre Court. Nevertheless, the contest went on with affirmations that the artificial intelligence was back in order. Pavlyuchenkova's spirits dipped after dropping the subsequent game, venting: "They've stole a game from me. they've stole it." Line judges are on hand at the venue, despite the All England Club having removed 300 officials in favour of the tech, reports the Mirror. These judges are brought into action if the electronic system malfunctions, yet Sunday's match progressed without their intervention. British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu voiced her frustration over the use of technology following her own Wimbledon exit. She said: "Yeah, I mean, that call [against Aryna Sabalenka] was, like, for sure out. It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong. For the most part they've been okay. "It's just, like, I've had a few in my other matches, too, that have been very wrong. So yeah, I don't know. Hopefully they can kind of fix that." With a tradition stretching back 147 years, line judges were finally replaced by Live Electronic Line Calling as decided in October, bringing the All England Club on par with counterparts such as the Australian Open and US Open. Chief executive Sally Bolton reassured that the technology has become "sufficiently robust," with Wimbledon now seeking "maximum accuracy" in its officiating approach.

Andy Murray teases with Wimbledon request after getting one over on Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz will hope to lift the Wimbledon title for the third year in a row this summer, a feat which would see him go ahead of Andy Murray in terms of wins at the Grand Slam Andy Murray has suggested he's had the upper hand against Carlos Alcaraz – not on the tennis court, but on the golf course. Young Spaniard Alcaraz, who is set to face Andrey Rublev in a fourth-round clash on the courts of SW19 come Sunday, has been indulging in his love for golf alongside his Wimbledon three-peat attempt. Having already dispatched Italy's Fabio Fognini, Britain's Oliver Tarvet and Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff, the 22-year-old is now preparing for a showdown with Russia's Rublev. However, it's not just tennis that's been keeping Alcaraz busy; the sensation who shares a passion for golf with Murray, has been hitting the greens as well. Since hanging up his tennis racket last summer, Murray has developed an obsession with golf, and it seems he's been sharing some rounds with Alcaraz. The pair hit the links before Wimbledon kicked off, and after his victory over Struff, Alcaraz let slip the results of their golfing duel during an on-court interview with Annabel Croft. With a grin, Alcaraz responded to Croft's probing about the friendly rivalry, saying: "He said to you to ask this question, right? I know, I know, because he beat me that day. But then, a few days later, we played again and I beat him, so it's 1-1. We're tied." Asked about scheduling another game, Alcaraz added: "Let's see. I love playing golf on my days off. I know he has a busy schedule so I guess I will try to set it up a round again of nine holes. We have to see who wins because we're tied 1-1, so I have to play again, absolutely." It appears the rubber match happened last Saturday, as hinted by Murray's cheeky update on social media. He wrote on X: "We played the deciding match this afternoon... maybe ask him what happened after the next match," alongside a wink emoji. Meanwhile, on Instagram, he added: "I'll let him tell you the outcome after the next match." Despite potentially feeling the sting from the golf course loss, Alcaraz is in fine form on the tennis court, extending his winning run to 21 matches. Asked if he was playing the best tennis of his career, the ATP No. 2 said (via the Mirror): "Yeah, I think so. "It wasn't the best tennis the whole 21 matches that I've won. But I think I maintain myself really, really calm in the tough moments in those 21 matches that I won in a row. "But yeah, I think I play a really good tennis lately. Really high confidence right now. "But yeah, as I say many, many times, I think when you approaching the matches, I doing in a really great way, that I'm really happy about. And during those matches I've saved really difficult moments. So I'm going to say that, yeah."
