Reasoning Thursday’s recommended accumulator brings together Pepper Fizz at Newbury alongside Sovereign Knight and Charmaine at Southwell. Each of the three horses holds strong claims based on form, conditions and handicapping angles, creating a multiple that blends progressive juveniles with seasoned handicappers well placed to strike. A strong trio for punters today. | |
16:15 Newbury – Pepper Fizz
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Pepper Fizz has been steadily progressing through her initial runs, and the evidence suggests she could be about to take a significant step forward now entering nursery company for the first time. Her debut effort hinted at ability, and although she was still green in subsequent starts, she’s shaped like a filly who is learning with every run. The most recent outing showed a sharper performance, finishing with more purpose over six furlongs, and that has laid the foundation for this move up to seven.

The increase in distance looks the key to unlocking her potential, as she has been staying on in her races without quite having the time to get fully involved. A mark of 65 on nursery debut appears lenient when considering the promise she has displayed against stronger maiden fields. William Cox, who has partnered her before, keeps the ride and should know how to time her challenge. In what looks a wide-open race, Pepper Fizz offers both value and the profile of one who can outstrip her current mark. With improvement very likely to come over this longer trip, she is the one to side with at Newbury.
18:45 Southwell – Sovereign Knight
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Sovereign Knight is a horse who looks ready to strike, and the conditions at Southwell could be just right for him to get his head back in front. Now a four-year-old, he already has three wins to his name and has been sliding down the handicap, which gives him a real chance from today’s mark of 69. That is four pounds below his last winning rating, suggesting he has been given a good opportunity by the assessor.
Having joined Rebecca Menzies’ yard only recently, he wasted little time showing his wellbeing when going very close at Wolverhampton just over a week ago. On that occasion, he was beaten by only a neck, proving that he retains both enthusiasm and ability. Running off the same mark here, he brings both current form and handicapping appeal into this race. PJ McDonald, one of the more reliable jockeys in the weighing room, retains the ride and is likely to give him another strong, forward-thinking ride. Southwell’s Tapeta should hold no concerns, and with his fitness assured after that recent effort, Sovereign Knight looks primed to convert consistency into a win. This looks a golden opportunity for him to confirm his handicapping advantage.
20:15 Southwell – Charmaine
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Charmaine is a filly who has already proven her ability at this track, and her profile suggests she could well add to her record in the evening finale. By Camelot and out of a mare with stamina influences, she is bred to relish this sort of test, and her form at eleven furlongs demonstrates she has the staying power required. She has already notched three victories from eleven starts, including a course-and-distance win, which is always an important pointer at Southwell.
Her latest effort at Yarmouth in another Racing League contest five weeks ago was a strong one, where she finished just under three lengths behind the winner while making good late progress. That run suggested she remains in fine form and only needs things to fall right to get her head in front again. A return to a venue where she has already excelled, coupled with a mark only five pounds higher than her last success, looks a very workable assignment. Danny Muscutt, a jockey adept at timing his challenge, is back on board, and his style is well suited to Charmaine’s late-finishing kick. With conditions in her favour and her yard adept at keeping horses fresh, she looks an excellent bet to close out the evening with another bold display.
