Racing Tips – Top Tipster Steve Mullen’s best racing selections for Tuesday, July 18
Steve Mullen guides you through Tuesday's racing from Bath, Beverley, Thirsk and Worcester
BATH
2.00
CUBSWIN has shown some promise so far, particularly when third at Newmarket two starts ago.
The handicapper has dropped her a couple of pounds for a more modest run at Wolverhampton last time but she’s still learning and can be a threat.
2.30
CORONATION COTTAGE looks capable of winning a race like this and was beaten just two lengths over course and distance last time out.
That was on the back of going down in a tight finish at Salisbury off just 2lb lower that today. Trainer Malcolm Saunders has his horses in good form too.
3.00 – Mullen’s star bet
AQUADABRA was beaten less than a length over course and distance earlier this month and is handicapped to improve on that here from a mark of 68.
She likes firm ground and Andrea Atzeni takes over in the saddle today.
3.30
MR POCKET should really be coming here looking for a hat-trick of wins after unlucky seconds at Brighton and Salisbury.
He was blocked a couple of times as the pace picked up last time before finishing strongly. Hopefully he’ll get a clearer passage here and can land a deserved victory.
4.00
ARCHIMEDES is coming down the weights despite being beaten by just a neck at Doncaster last time out. He saves his best for this distance and likes fast ground.
He has dropped to his last winning mark and that could make all the difference.
5.00
IMPHAL gets the nod in a trappy finale. He dug deep to score over course and distance last time out and a 6lb rise in the weights for that looks fair.
He gets on well with his 7lb claiming jockey and looks open to more improvement on ground he likes.
