We're Goosers 2/5 NAP at Newmarket 16:53
With odds of just 2/5, We're Goosers headlines the day's AI-backed tips in a seven-runner maiden stakes over 7 furlongs under good ground conditions. The textbook booking of Oisin Murphy adds considerable weight to the prediction, while trainer Hugh Palmer boasts a 24% strike rate at Newmarket over the last three years. While maiden races often throw surprises, this son of Kingman has shown serious promise in two career starts, finishing second last time out at Newmarket and clocking decent sectional timings.
The ground is ideal, connections are eyeing bigger prizes later in the season, and the AI model estimates a +20% expected value, making We're Goosers the clear NAP of the day. For alternative views or head-to-head comparisons with other runners, visit Horse Compare.
Scandinavia 1/6 Banker at Leopardstown 19:22
Justifying odds of 1/6 won't win this race any prizes for creativity, but Scandinavia looks unstoppable in a five-runner event over 1m 6f at Leopardstown on good ground. This Galileo colt, trained by Aidan O'Brien, will be piloted by Ryan Moore, a combination that's won countless middle-distance races. O'Brien has a jaw-dropping 31% strike rate at Leopardstown, and Scandinavia's most recent form—victories at Navan and Gowran Park in dominant style—makes him hard to oppose.
Given the tiny field and prohibitive odds, lock Scandinavia into your accumulator bets rather than backing him outright. Check our accumulator tips page for curated combos featuring this banker.
Delitefull Hart 3/5 for Coast to Coast and Santa Anita
Two opportunities today involve Delitefull Hart running in dual US sprint races for trainer Michael Puype and jockey Kazushi Kimura. Both contests feature 6 1/2 furlongs on turf, a distance where this runner has shown blistering early speed and significant stamina reserves. With AI confidence rated at 91% and an expected value of +17.3%, odds of 3/5 look tempting for straight wins, but also consider including Delitefull Hart in multis.

Value Bets and Each-Way Fancies at York and Kilbeggan
For bettors seeking bigger prices amidst competitive fields, York and Kilbeggan hold the keys. Anton Mauve (200/1, Newbury 15:53) injects intrigue despite the daunting odds; as proven form often gets overlooked when massive field sizes complicate race calculations. The same logic applies with Chairmanfourtimes (50/1, York 16:40) capable meet upset.
