Horse racing tips: This 12-1 shot can star at York off career-low mark after hinting he’s back in form

SUN racing goes looking for value in the countdown to Epsom and Royal Ascot.

Here, we run the rule over a busy Saturday.

1

Longshot

MARKAZI (5.25 York)

Has dropped to a career-low mark and hinted at a return to form at Ayr last time.

Liam Bailey's grey likes a bit of cut in the ground and his amateur jockey is no mug.

Each-way Thief

COLD STARE (1.55 Haydock)

Is 2lb lower than his last win and returned to form with a good run at Thirsk. He has won twice here and likes to get his toe in.

THE LIR JET (3.35 Haydock)

Has a touch of class, won’t mind the ground and is back over his best trip.

GOODWOOD

1.05 Maiden’s Green - plenty of speed in pedigree and those with form don’t make much appeal

1.40 Hochfeld (NAP) - very unlucky in Chester Cup and remains in form of his life

2.10 Stormy Antarctic - ‘won’ his side last time at Windsor and small field will suit this horse over rivals

2.50 Tawleed (treble) - impossible not to be impressed with latest win and looks ahead of handicapper

3.25 Hukum  - shaped well on comeback and has brilliant chance at the weights

4.00 Asiaaf - looks exactly the type the yard do well with bringing through the ranks in these races

4.35 Chiasma - showed enough on debut to suggest should be up to winning race such as this

HAYDOCK

1.20 Oman - step up in trip brought out more last time and the yard remain in red-hot form

1.55 Lincoln Park - loves the mud and looks well-weighted on previous wins

2.25 Future Investment - was well-backed last time in stronger race and should have come on for that outing

3.00 Raadobarg - been impressive in novice company and handicapper hasn’t gone wild for first step into this company

3.35 Mujbar (NB) - return to softer conditions look a huge plus for this unexposed type

4.10 Liberty Beach - admirable and consistent sprinter who is a regular at this level and higher

4.45 Cloudy Dawn - beat nothing last time but handicapper has given a big chance too and will handle conditions

NEWMARKET

1.25 Superior Force - yard going great guns with juveniles and this horse should kick on from debut win

2.00 Ishvara - back in preferred conditions and on handy weight again

2.35 Law Of One - improving at a rate of knots and could be up to stakes class in near future

3.05 Bilhayl - backed on debut like defeat was out of the question and should be plenty wiser for that outing

3.40 Almighwar - looks well-handicapped and cheekpieces should sharpen him up at the business end of the race

4.15 Baileys Derbyday - narrowly beaten last time and looks a progressive type in this company

4.50 Bugle Major - brings plenty of high-class form to this field and should prove better than a handicapper

YORK

2.05 Ajyaall - looks a horse on the up and the yard do well in races here

2.40 Believe In Love - should improve again this season and won’t mind the rain that falls

3.15 Wise Eagle - still looks very well-handicapped on the Flat and testing conditions may even bring out more

3.50 Makanah - has had pipe opener and might just outclass the majority of these

4.20 Shaladar - showed enough on debut and the extra furlong gets a big thumbs-up

4.55 Sunset Bay - still a maiden but can progress now in handicaps

5.25 Harbour Vision - top amateur booked and not miles above last winning mark

STRATFORD

5.40 Restandbethankful - should be plenty good enough to defy penalty in this

6.10 Go Steady - got act together last time and this race looks no tougher

6.40 Hooper - rising through the ranks now and gets plenty of weight from main rivals

7.10 Duke Of Navan - this veteran might have one more day in him with the handicapper giving big chance

7.40 San Agustin - out quickly under a penalty and looks very well-placed

8.10 Onefortheroadtom - back to last winning mark and stable coming out of a cold spell

8.40 Ultimate Fame - yard do well in these races and one to watch on debut

LINGFIELD

5.20 Nordic Dash - unexposed and return to all weather looks the right call

5.55 Starfighter - positive jockey booking and up in trip again

6.25 Hot Scoop - plummeted down the weights and big chance in this company with tongue-tie on

6.55 Eve Lodge - drawn fine and showed plenty on debut in better race

7.25 Last Date - ran no race last time but return to previous form gives huge chance

7.55 El Picaro - would not need to be a world-beater to take this

8.25 There’s No Danger - will come on for last effort and drawn well enough
