Horse racing tips January 11: Horses you MUST back at Lingfield, Wolverhampton, Sedgefield | Racing | Sport - (2021)

Richard Spencer’s runner was wearing blinkers for the first time in his seven-race career and produced a career-best performance, storming clear inside the final furlong.

Provided the blinkers work again, he should make short work of his eight rivals, best of whom might be handicap debutant Wall Of Sapphire.

At Wolverhampton’s floodlit fixture, CAPE GRECO (nb, 4.10) can score back-to-back wins after a good win at Lingfield last time out.

Jo Hughes’ contender deserved that success after a second and third on his previous two runs, especially as this furlong longer trip (he’s moving up from seven furlongs to a mile) should suit him well judged on his running style and breeding.

The ultra-consistent Big Bad Lol may give the selection most to think about.

INSTANT REPLAY (treble, 2.50) can come out best in a tight little handicap at Sedgefield.

Brian Hughes takes the ride on the Brian Ellison-trained seven-year-old, who has been runner-up on his last two runs.

The slightly easier conditions will be in his favour and he can take this at the main expense of Tayzar, who only got as far as the third fence last time before unseating, but was previously a winner at Kelso.
