Horse racing tips March 26: Horses you MUST back at Hereford, Wolverhampton and Hexham | Racing | Sport

The 10-year-old, trained by Dan Skelton, will have to shoulder the welter burden of 12st 2lb, but looks well up to the task.

The mount of Conor Shoemark is a consistent sort and was a winner at Uttoxeter on her penultimate run, where she had eight lengths to spare over Astra Via after making all. Her latest run was at Bangor where she failed by only half a length behind Comber Mill. She hasn’t been raised for that gallant effort and looks poised to go in again.

The John Groucott-trained Overawed is in receipt of 4lb from Tigeralley and may be the main danger.

At Hexham, MURPHY’S LAW (nb, 2.40) steps into handicap company for the first time, having shown a fair level of ability in three novice hurdles.

Keith Dalgleish trains this five-year-old, who showed his best form when beaten less than two lengths by Chingachook at Musselburgh on his most recent run. A reproduction of that effort will make him difficult to beat in this modest contest.

Top weight Mint Gold, a winner last time out, and Lucky Lucarno look his most dangerous rivals.

HAVANA ROCKET (treble, 7.00) came back from a layoff and wind surgery to break his maiden at Newcastle in January.

He was odds-on that day, but accomplished his task in great style under PJ McDonald, and this improving type with only four races on his card, can go on to better things.

His in-form trainer Andrew Balding moved him down to 7f at Newcastle and he made all the running. He is back up to a mile and half a furlong tonight and similar tactics could well be employed by Oisin Murphy.

Assimilation is another stepping up in distance, having raced only at 7f on his four starts. If he gets the trip he could prove a big danger.
