Neil Morrice shares all of his best bets and tips for Sunday’s racing coming your way from Musselburgh and Stratford on 13 April 2025.
MUSSELBURGH
Race 3 No3 ZARZYNI
Trainer: David Barron – Jockey: Connor Beasley
Having benefitted from a readying run at Newcastle, ZARZYNI is in a good place to shake the tree in this sprint handicap. The course and distance winner went down by just three lengths on that first outing after a long lay off and it should have blown away the cobwebs for his return to turf.
Race 5 No1 MARHABA GHAIYYATH (Nap)
Trainer: Charlie Johnston – Jockey: Joe Fanning
MARHABA GHAIYYATH is a progressive dual winner who makes appeal as a professional bet to complete a hat-trick on this first run in a handicap. He hasn’t beaten much and was a long odds-on shot when scoring at Wolverhampton, but if forcing tactics are employed he should prove very hard to catch.
Race 6 No3 VINCE LE PRINCE
Trainer: Tim Easterby – Jockey: David Allan
With Easterby’s handicappers earning on a regular basis VINCE LE PRINCE looks the way to go in this 1400 metres handicap. He ended the 2024 campaign strongly with a Catterick success, while he’s shown an ability to go well when fresh from a break in the past.
STRATFORD
Race 1 No3 KEEP ON COBBLING (Nap)
Trainer: Henry Daly – Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
Passing Glance mare KEEP ON COBBLING raised her game to finish second at Doncaster despite starting as a 33-1 no hoper in that maiden hurdle. It was only a fourth run under Rules for the Downton raider, who is strongly fancied to open her account.
Race 4 No1 JACKPOT CASH
Trainer: James Owen – Jockey: Mr Alex Chadwick
JACKPOT CASH can demonstrate his versatility by successfully returning to hurdling after a gritty triumph on his latest start over fences at Sedgefield. He is a super consistent performer, and his trainer looks to have found another winning opportunity for him.
