Horse racing tips: Musselburgh, Chepstow, Lingfield and Newcastle – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for the racing this Friday, January 19
Steve Mullen guides you through Friday's racing at Musselburgh, Chepstow, Lingfield and Newcastle
LINGFIELD
12.55
RED SNAPPER can give the likely odds-on jolly Summer Thunder something to think about.
She ran well when second here last time and she still has few miles on the clock. The trip should suit too.
1.25 -
INUK comes here in excellent form with two wins and two places from her past four runs.
She still looks on a handy weight and will find this easier than the race she contested at Kempton last time out.
COLOURFUL CAREER relished this course and distance when striking last month.
He has since gone well in better company at Kempton and should be right in the shake-up.
2.30
SHOW STEALER could be the answer to this wide-open contest. He couldn’t have been more impressive when winning over course and distance last time out.
He’s up just 4lb for that which gives him every chance.

BAN SHOOF is only 1lb higher than when scooting in over 1m2f here last week.
This longer trip won’t be a problem — in fact it will suit him better because he was running on at the finish when winning.
3.40
NATIVE APPEAL looks hard to beat on this sensible step up in distance. He was outpaced a little when a mile race turned into a sprint at Newcastle last time but still finished second.
He should have too much quality for today’s rivals.
