Horse racing tips today: Best bets at Wolverhampton, Pontefract, Brighton and Uttoxeter | Racing | Sport

Since that classic success at Newmarket, the filly lost her way before returning to form at Chelmsford last month when comfortably beating Crossing The Line.

Today the Richard Hannon-trained four-year-old will have a fight on her hands with Clon Coulis, the winner of last year’s prize.

On her recent outing, Clon Coulis was unfortunate not to collect at Royal Ascot where she was beaten a nose by Afaak in the Hunt Cup.

On that occasion she was given a trademark Jamie Spencer ride, also in the saddle today, arriving too late – in another stride the mare would have won.

Pattie, third behind Clon Coulis in last year’s contest, can make the frame at a decent price. Ben Curtis, who takes the ride, partnered Clon Coulis when she won this mile event last season.

William Haggas can maintain his excellent strike with a double at Wolverhampton. The Newmarket trainer, currently operating at a 32% strike rate, has the answer in the Fillies’ Novice Stakes with INCREDULOUS (4.30, nb).

She was not disgraced in defeat when second behind Loolwah at Thirsk last month.

SWANSDOWN (5.00, treble) can bring up the double.
