Sunday horse racing tips: four bets from Angus McNae

One winner last week was a slightly disappointing return, but the great thing about this game is that there is always a chance to bounce back and with these four selections hopefully that is exactly what we will do.

2.50 Epsom: Restorer

I am keen on his chances here.

Restorer was well backed last time out at this track but was beaten into second by an improving handicapper. The reason he was well backed that day was probably the fact that he looks well treated now off a mark of 77 and he goes well at Epsom.

Restorer has won off a mark as high as 90 in the past and, although he may not be as good as he was, he is still very capable at this level. Useful claimer Conor Planas takes off another 7lbs in an added bonus and I will be surprised if he does not go very close here.

3.05 Curragh: Art Power

He simmers just below Group One class but has some very useful performances to his name, including an impressive five-length win in this race last year. This is his third run back after a lay-off and both of his runs since that break suggest he retains all of his old ability.

Art Power was too keen over seven furlongs at York on his return at a trip that stretches him and he stumbled at the start last time in the Betfair Sprint Cup before once again racing a little too freely.

He went off the 4-5 favourite for this last year, but we may get a much better price this time around and I am very keen on his chances of bouncing back to form.

3.40 Curragh: Caroline Street

She makes plenty of appeal here back down to seven furlongs and back against her own sex.

Caroline Street ran a career best when finishing second to Auguste Rodin on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown. She was the only filly in the race and shaped as if she might win when making smooth progress from the back of the field after turning for home, but her effort flattened out and she was outstayed by the winner.

The triple-digit speed figure she achieved there is a standout in this race and she should be hard to beat here.

4.30 Epsom: New Pursuit

He has achieved both career wins at this track and can win again now that he seems to be back in top form.

New Pursuit was an excellent second in a fast time at Windsor last time out and that effort makes him look well treated off a mark of 83 here, which is only 3lbs higher than the mark he won off when last winning here at Epsom. Benoit De La Sayette was the man on board on that occasion and now gets back on board for the first time since.

The easy ground will be no problem and he should run a big race at his favoured venue.
