Newsboy's horseracing tips for Friday's five meetings including Yarmouth NAP
The in-form tipster has recommended four winning Naps so far this week and has nailed his colours to Blue RC in a handicap at Yarmouth
Nail your colours to BLUE RC (4.08, NAP) who should not be missed when the progressive colt bids to defy a 6lb penalty at Yarmouth today.
The son of Blue Point has taken a step forward with each appearance since dead-heating for first place on debut at Chelmsford in March. He ran well on his first try on turf at Doncaster next time, finished runner-up back on the all-weather at Kempton and then bolted up at Thirsk ten days ago.
He looked a class apart from the rest of the field to win as he liked by three and a quarter lengths over 7f.
The selection now tackles a mile but with 4lb in hand on future handicap rating he is going to be very hard to peg back.
In the evening at Newcastle, Godolphin's DIAMOND RAIN (7.05, NB) is the one to beat in the Listed Hoppings Stakes.
The Charlie Appleby-trained filly showed she had improved since the end of last season by accounting for a talented field in a Listed race at Haydock.
She proved too good for Running Lion that day, who finished fourth in the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last week, and looked capable of making her presence felt at Group level. She is the clear pick on official ratings.
