Angus McNae's horse racing tips for Sunday: Night Hunter can strike

I’ve got four selections this week spread between England, Ireland and Scotland.

All of them will be competing at Racing TV tracks. Tune into Mark Your Card for more tips and clues at 12.30pm. It's free to view on Sky Channel 426.

Now with Michael Dods, having formerly been with Mick Easterby, this gelding has been found a weak race and can regain the winning thread.

Two of his career wins have come at this track and his handicap mark of 60 is one that he has won off before. He had his first start for Dods last time out at Hamilton and shaped well despite not enjoying much luck. He was badly hampered a furlong out and had no chance after.

He was still only beaten just over two lengths and he is clearly in decent form and is well treated. There are doubts about many of his rivals and he is worth chancing to win again at a track that suits him.

This horse looks to be coming into form and he reserves his best for this track. Five of his ten career wins have been achieved here and this represents a great opportunity for further success.

Last time out he put up an improved effort compared to some of his runs of late. In part, that was due to the refitting of cheekpieces and they are retained.

In finishing fourth at Haydock last time off Sunday’s mark of 89 he showed himself to be coming to the boil and now back at his favourite venue he rates as a confident selection.

There is much more to come from this son of Deep Impact. He has only had three career starts and starts life off in handicaps off a very workable mark of 74.

Last time out he was having his first run for seven months, but shaped encouragingly amid clear signs of inexperience. That effort came over 10 furlongs and the step up to 12 furlongs promises to suit. There are not many Deep Impact colts out of Galileo mares who get to race in a handicap off 74 and I expect him to improve markedly on what we have seen so far.

This dirt bred son of Tapit has a superb pedigree for this surface and with a price tag of $700,000 as a yearling, connections will be expecting a win here.

He made an excellent start to his career at Leicester when finishing third to the very useful Baaeed, who has gone on to win again impressively at Newmarket.

Night Hunter was green in that race but got the hang of things late on, nearly claiming second place. With progress likely on a surface that looks sure to suit he rates as a strong play for me and is my idea of the best bet on a busy Sunday.
