Sunday horse racing tips: Angus McNae's shares his best bets

This Willie Mullins-trained gelding was a most impressive winner last time out at Killarney and he can follow up here. He won that Grade Three contest with any amount in hand; always travelling strongly and cruising clear. He has won his past two starts over fences and now looks to be a better chaser than he was a hurdler. Mullins has already had eight winners at the Galway Festival this week and Saint Sam can add to that total.

This horse is on a roll, having won his past two starts and can go in again despite this being a competitive handicap. Cut in the ground suits him ideally, as he displayed when winning in style last time at Doncaster. That success came off a mark of 71 and he needs to defy a 6lb rise in the weights, but he has won off a mark of 80 in the past. Given that he is in the form of his life he should be very competitive once again. He rates a play at the 5-1 on offer.

This filly got off the mark when running for the first time in a handicap last time out here at Haydock and has the potential to win again. She handled the soft ground well that day and won easily by three lengths. The speed figure she produced suggests that she is still well-handicapped racing off a mark of 77. This trip of a mile looks her optimum.

She ran very well at Sandown last time, when finishing second in a competitive class 4 handicap. She did best of the three-year-olds in the race and fared best of those who raced prominently. She steps up in trip to 2m here, which should not be a problem. Indeed, it may bring about some improvement. She looks reasonably treated off a mark of 74.
