Newsboy’s horseracing tips for Thursday’s five meetings, including Nottingham Nap

DOLLY GRAY should give her rivals weight and a beating in the Bet At racingtv.com Handicap (4.20) at Nottingham this afternoon.

A well-beaten eighth in a Wolverhampton handicap last October when making her debut in the sphere David Loughnane’s daughter of Tamayuz showed more with a third to Triggered over seven furlongs at Dunstall Park when making her return to action last month.

And Dolly Gray took another step forward for a first career win at the sixth attempt in a similar event over course and distance eight days ago.

Racing on turf for the second time, Dolly Gray and Stefano Cherchi made all the running and repelled the challenge of Hello me to score by two and a quarter lengths.

Under a 5lb penalty, the top weight is 1lb well in on official figures, but it is the likelihood of further progress under identical conditions that is the clincher for a stable in red-hot form.

Nottingham hosts a Flat meeting on Thursday when Newsboy’s nap, Dolly Gray, is fancied to win the 4.20 (GETTY)

Another penalised runner, BRIAN THE SNAIL, looks good in the Join Racing TV Now Handicap (7.10) at Haydock.

The Patrick Morris-saddled grey was back to winning form with a two-and-a-half-length supremacy from Soul Seeker at Ripon last Wednesday and a 4lb penalty shouldn’t be enough to stop the follow-up.
