Sunday Spotlight: Value Packed Longshots to Consider
As the racing world turns its eyes to Sunday's meetings at Brighton, Hexham, and Pontefract, punters aiming for value will be keen to examine today's under-the-radar opportunities. Amber Honey at 12/1 in Brighton's 14:56, and Buddah Castle at 18/1 in Hexham's 16:13, headline a day that sees long-priced contenders poised to make a statement.
Amber Honey Buzzing at Brighton
The seaside track of Brighton hosts a promising field at 14:56, where Amber Honey, priced at a tantalizing 12/1, offers plenty of appeal. Trained by the astute Richard Hughes and ridden by capable jockey Paddy Bradley, this horse's recent form may not scream winner — finishing mid-division in her last outing — but the drop back to 7f under today's favorable Good-good to firm in places going, will likely suit her better.
Her dam had a strong record on similar ground, and with the sun out, conditions are set to mirror her sire’s optimal conditions. For those scanning the full racecards, Amber Honey could provide an unexpected sting, making her an intriguing each-way proposition.

Hexham's Hefty Longshot: Buddah Castle at 18/1
Moving to the rugged terrains of Hexham, Buddah Castle, under the experienced guidance of Brian Hughes, lines up in the 16:13 contest as a whopping 18/1 outsider. While not an immediate standout on paper, his affinity for the 2m 7f 63y chase over good ground presents an opportunity for savvy punters willing to dig deeper into the form books.
The son of Shirocco has previously displayed a late turn of foot in similar company at lesser-known tracks. With conditions expected to suit and the betting calculator hinting at a substantial return, placing an each-way punt here could pay dividends should Hughes conjure a tactical masterclass out of the old stager. For the discerning bettor, this big-price selection presents just the kind of speculative punt worthy of inclusion in today's accumulator tips.
Parisencore Poised for a Hex-ting Classic
Also staking his claim at Hexham, Parisencore sits at attractive 15/2 odds for the 15:13 race. Notable for consistency, jockey Danny McMenamin steers this progressive sort who relishes good ground conditions, as evidenced by a clutch of top-three finishes on similar tracks. His tactical pace and jump fluency are noteworthy, and with the race set to unfold over a more familiar 2m 48y, he’s capable of challenging the frontrunners.
A calculated move with Parisencore could see punters cash in, especially with each-way bets leveraging his reliable top-three finishes for positive returns. Review the racecard for additional form data on [Hexham 15:13](racecard/hexham/2026-06-21/1513).
Jeteye Not to be Blurred Out
Further action at Hexham in the 16:43 event sees the bold strides of Jeteye, fielded by Jonathan England. Priced at 15/2, this runner is not to be overlooked in a competitive 13-horse lineup. With the ground forecasted as good, Jeteye's strong finishing efforts in similar conditions, alongside a competitive 2m 7f 63y trip, highlight potential for another strong performance.
The horse’s form trajectory underpins a narrative of progression and with a smart place in today's each-way selections, you could benefit from this speculative angle.
Newport's Nuance
At Hexham’s opening 14:13 race, Newport stands as an intriguing 7/1 mid-priced contender. Having shown flashes of potential, jockey Tom Midgley will look to unlock further potential over the 2m 48y distance on a course that favors tactical front-runners.
Midgley's recent form suggests he’s honed the necessary strategy to capitalize on this field's dynamics, setting Newport up as a shrewd value pick. Gauge how this narrative might play out on the [full racecard](racecard/hexham/2026-06-21/1413).
