The Punt Acca: Charlie Huggins' three horse racing tips at Haydock and Newbury on Thursday

Three horses to include in a multiple on Thursday . . .


We Dare To Dream (2.40 Haydock)

Beaten a length on his debut by King's Call who has contested Group races on both of his starts since, so is clearly well regarded by connections. We Dare To Dream also bumped into a smart type when chasing home Mearall at Ripon last month, as the winner went on to finish third in Listed company on his sole start since. This looks a good opportunity for the David O'Meara-trained juvenile to get off the mark.

Defence Minister (4.17 Haydock)

Made a successful debut at Newmarket and the third-placed Defence Minister, who he beat by two and a quarter lengths, has won a Lingfield novice since. The €210,000 breeze-up purchase should be able to defy a 7lb penalty in this small-field event.

Bolo Neighs (6.10 Newbury)

Runner-up on his debut in a Yarmouth maiden that has worked out exceptionally well with the third, fourth, fifth and sixth all having won since. The winner went on to finish second in a Listed event and Bolo Neighs bumped into another decent rival when chasing home Aesterius at Bath in May. Aesterius has subsequently won a Listed race and was beaten three-quarters of a length in the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes before going on to win his next start in the same grade at Longchamp. The step up to to 6f should suit Ralph Beckett's juvenile, who can make it third time lucky here.
