Racing tipster Newsboy has shared his predictions for the horse racing meetings at Carlisle and Wolverhampton on Monday. His nap selection is Wolfburg in the 4.05 at Carlisle, expected to benefit from a shorter distance. The next best is Keppel Queen in the 4.35 at the same venue, partnered with champion jockey Sean Bowen.
Newsboy's selections highlight two key runners at Carlisle Racecourse for Monday's card. In the Watch Racing TV Now Handicap Chase at 4.05, Wolfburg is the nap choice. Trained by Sandy Thomson, the son of Sageburg has shown promise in recent outings. He finished seventh on his fencing debut in a two-mile handicap chase at Musselburgh at the end of November. Equipped with cheekpieces and a tongue strap, Wolfburg secured a 14-1 victory in a novices' event at Wetherby on Boxing Day over two and a half miles. Last time, as the 16-5 favorite in a three-mile handicap chase at Catterick Bridge, he placed third behind Defence Witness after fading near the final fence, with jockey Callum Bewley not asking for maximum effort earlier. Newsboy believes the return to two and a half miles suits Wolfburg from an unchanged mark.
For the concluding Next Raceday Sunday 8th March Mares' Handicap Hurdle at 4.35, Keppel Queen is the next best selection. As top weight, she teams up with champion jockey Sean Bowen, forming what Newsboy describes as a potent combination.
Full selections for Carlisle are: 1.05 Kilnesare Flight, 1.35 Hardy Du Seuil, 2.05 He’s On Fire, 2.35 Upfordebate, 3.05 Parish Star, 3.35 He’s Bresilian, 4.05 Wolfburg (nap), 4.35 Keppel Queen (next best). At Wolverhampton, the picks include: 5.00 Lion’s House, 5.30 Bad Habits, 6.00 Perola, 6.30 Papa Cocktail, 7.00 Beauzon, 7.30 Three On Thursday, 8.00 Solanna. Newsboy suggests a double on Wolfburg and Keppel Queen.
