Thursday's Tips

*** Longacres Daddy - 8.13 Monmore 9/4

**  Ballymac Briar - 7.11 Newcastle 7/2

* Zenith Fotospor - 7.56 Monmore 3/1


We really fancied Longacres Daddy in a heat of the BetGoodwin maiden series at Oxford on Sunday but he was a non runner. He tries an S1 here at his home track after a pair of wins over 480m. He has only raced once over six bends so far in his career when a length and three-quarters behind Droopys Flotilla, form that stands out at this level.


Ballymac Briar only managed four races in Ireland this year but he was a very smart performer in 2024. He made the final of the Time Juvenile Derby last year as well as the quarter-final stage of the Irish Derby. He has not got close to that level in his trials here since joining Stephen Caile but he is the most naturally talented in this field. 


Zenith Fotospor was a 28.71 winner at Newbridge back in February, arriving in the UK with Richard Rees but she only made one start for that kennel in a Hove A1 back in May. She kicks off for Kim Billingham-Hine in A5 at Monmore, and although she is likely to improve for the return to race action, but might still have more than enough to score first time up at this sort of level.
