TRAINER TO FOLLOW WILLIE MULLINS, challenging for the British trainers’ title, has peppered Ayr with entries, with UNCLE PHIL (1.15), A PENNY A HUNDRED (3.00) and QUAI DE BOURBON (4.45) looking particularly interesting alongside his Scottish National entries MACDERMOTT and SPANISH HARLEM (3.45). BIG DAY FOR... KIERAN SHOEMARK will want to get his first season as the Gosden’s main jockey moving forward with momentum. After some near misses this week he partners the stable’s 2023 Geoffrey Freer Stakes winner ARREST in the John Porter Stakes (Newbury, 1.30) and 1,000 Guineas entry REGAL JUBILEE (Newbury, 2.05) in the Dubai Duty Free Stakes. WATCH OUT FOR... ECONOMICS (Newbury, 3.50) made eye-catching late headway when fourth on debut at Newmarket and holds a Derby entry. HORSES FOR COURSES ETON BLUE (Brighton, 5.45) has run five times at the track with a record of two wins, two seconds and a third. ROBIN GOODFELLOW - Best Bets Dan Skelton, Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls all have leading contenders in the Scottish Champion Hurdle (Ayr, 2.25), but FAVOUR AND FORTUNE (NAP) can win this valuable prize for Alan King. The unexposed novice was second in the Grade One Formby Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree earlier this season before catching the eye when finishing sixth in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. The form of that race was boosted at Aintree by both Mystical Power and Firefox, and an opening mark of 138 looks very fair. Later on the card, GIT MAKER (NB) can go one better than last time out at the Cheltenham Festival when he lines up in the Scottish Grand National (3.35). In the Kim Muir Handicap Chase, he finished an eight-length second behind subsequent Grade One winner Inothewayurthinkin, with the third a further 18 lengths behind. A 1lb rise seems very lenient for that and he should hold leading claims. THE WIZARD OF ODDS By Chris Baker 2.40 NEWBURY BALLYMOUNT BOY capped off a fine juvenile campaign with a Listed victory at Doncaster in October. A few months earlier, he’d chased home the unbeaten Vandeek in a Goodwood Group Two sprint. 13-2 3.15 NEWBURY RAADOBARG (nap) mostly contested Class One races last season and posted some smart efforts. He went close in the Irish Lincolnshire on his seasonal reappearance and will be sharper for that run. 10-1 3.35 AYR Stay Away Fay could bounce back to form but slight preference is for WHACKER CLAN, who finished third in the Kim Muir Handicap Chase the Cheltenham Festival and will relish this stamina test. 9-1 Share or comment on this article: Robin Goodfellow's racing tips: Best bets for Saturday, April 20 All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
