Steve Mullington gives his best horse racing tips for Friday, with a NAP, Next Best and a Longshot at Newmarket and Goodwood...

4.10 Newmarket – Time Lock (NAP)

Trainer Harry Charlton prepares for his first summer as the sole licence holder at Beckhampton and can get off to a flyer with Time Lock in the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes.

This daughter of Frankel registered an emphatic win in the Group 3 Princess Royal Stakes at this venue last September and a reproduction of that effort would see her go very close today.

The five-year-old showed all the visible signs of a long season at Ascot on Champions Day, but she’s a much better horse than that and will be fully tuned up for her seasonal debut.

Danger: Naqeeb

3.35 Newmarket – Bold Style (NB)

Charlie Appleby’s runners often come on for the run and his Bold Style can resume the winning thread in this Listed King Charles II Stakes over seven furlongs on Friday.

The three-year-old showed ability when second of eleven in a Novice Stakes at Wolverhampton on debut in November 2023, then confirmed that promise by running out a comfortable winner of a one mile Chelmsford Novice Stakes a month later.

He was slightly too keen when third of six in a seven furlong conditions race at Newmarket on his next start in April 2024.

William Buick is back in the saddle and a decent showing is expected.

Danger: Boiling Point

2.40 Goodwood – Lovestruck Romeo (E/W Longshot)

A bumper field of two-year-olds will spring into action down Goodwood’s five furlong sprint course today and if you blink you will miss it

There are lots of speedy types in the race on breeding, but the pedigree that stood out for me was that of the Ollie Sangster-trained Lovestruck Romeo.

Out of Sergei Prokofiev & Buonasera, with the dam’s sire being the nippy Zebedee, I fully expect Lovestruck Romeo to bounce out of the stalls and run a blinder at a nice starting price.

Danger: Lady Lightning
