Horse Racing Accumulator Tips: Saturday August 16 – Can Leadman, Addison Grey and Ziggy’s Ariel Deliver a Winning Treble?

Saturday’s programme is brimming with racing drama, and our BettingTips4You experts have teamed up to provide an horse racing accumulator across three fascinating contests. With high-quality action at Newbury, Newmarket and Ripon, there are opportunities for value where form and conditions align. Our chosen three selections bring together horses with recent efforts that suggest improvement or proven suitability for the task at hand.

The aim of this treble is balance: Leadman looks to rediscover his best form with a key jockey change, Addison Grey has strong claims thanks to a favourable mark, and Ziggy’s Ariel appeals on the basis of track suitability despite two below-par runs elsewhere. Put together, this Accumulator provides a blend of promise, proven ability, and tactical advantage.

Reasoning
This Accumulator combines three horses with clear claims: Leadman looks well placed to bounce back at Newbury, Addison Grey is weighted to win at Newmarket, and Ziggy’s Ariel returns to her favoured track at Ripon. Together, they offer a balanced treble built on proven form, tactical suitability, and handicapping opportunities.

15:00 Newbury – Leadman

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Leadman lines up at Newbury with plenty of reasons to suggest he can bounce back from recent misfortune. Now trained by David O’Meara, this son of Kingman has shaped with credit at times, most notably at Newmarket two runs ago when producing a performance that hinted he retains his old ability. That run came against solid opposition, and although he didn’t win, he left the impression that a similar effort would see him very competitive in today’s field.

DAt Goodwood last time, nothing went right. He was hampered early, which left him in an impossible position, never able to land a blow thereafter. That run should be treated with leniency, as the interference scuppered his chance before the race had even begun. Crucially, he now has Danny Tudhope in the saddle for the first time, a rider renowned for his ability to coax strong late runs from his mounts.

Leadman’s current mark looks workable given his ability, and Newbury’s more conventional layout should allow him to travel more smoothly. If he reproduces the level of his Newmarket performance, he has a genuine chance to strike. With conditions in his favour and a strong jockey booking, he appeals as a value play in this competitive race.


14:05 Newmarket – Addison Grey

Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Addison Grey caught the eye on his handicap debut in the Racing League last week, running with considerable promise to be beaten by less than a length in what was a highly competitive race. That performance suggested he is on the right trajectory, and returning just days later under a more favourable set of circumstances gives him a strong chance to go one better.

The key here is the significant weight adjustment. With Jack Nicholls taking 7lb off, Addison Grey is effectively running 6lb lighter than last time. In handicapping terms, that is a major advantage, particularly when facing a slightly weaker field compared with his Racing League test. The combination of a lighter burden and a drop in class makes him stand out in this company.

Crucially, Addison Grey showed a likable attitude on his last start, sticking on gamely and refusing to wilt under pressure. That determination, combined with his obvious scope for improvement, makes him hard to ignore. With the yard confident enough to turn him out quickly, it signals their belief that he has come out of the race well. All told, Addison Grey looks primed to take full advantage of his mark and should prove difficult to beat if running to the same level.


14:45 Ripon – Ziggy’s Ariel

Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Ripon’s Silver Cup Handicap often rewards horses with early pace and a handy draw, and Ziggy’s Ariel ticks both boxes. From stall 12, she is well positioned to attack from the outset, and her previous course efforts highlight how well she handles this idiosyncratic track. Alice Haynes’ three-year-old showed her liking for Ripon in April when winning, before running another strong race over course and distance in June, only denied close home by Mr Cool.

Those efforts demonstrated her ability to dictate races here, bagging the stands’ side rail and stringing out the field before only succumbing late. Since then, she has disappointed at Beverley and Brighton, but those tracks are markedly different in character. Ripon, with its quirks and bias towards front-runners who can dominate, plays directly to her strengths.

What appeals most is her natural speed from the gates, which allows her to seize an early advantage. In a large-field handicap, being in the right place tactically is often decisive, and Ziggy’s Ariel has the tools to control proceedings. Back at her favoured venue, with ground and draw in her favour, she looks poised to rediscover her earlier form. Expect her to go close if securing that critical early lead.ers a handy allowance in this type of event. Shalfa’s proven stamina and adaptability make her a strong candidate for this closing contest, and if building on her Windsor effort, she has the tools to secure a fifth career win.
