The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson's three horse racing tips from across the tracks on Thursday

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


Diegos Way (2.40 Taunton)

Recorded his sole victory under rules on a forray to Britain in October, when landing a Bangor handicap comfortably by over four lengths. That form was franked with the second winning twice since and the third landing the spoils on his next start. Didn't stay 4m in soft ground at Hexham next time but ran very well when chasing home a subsequent scorer at Hereford in January and was just over a length away from landing his first win in Ireland on his penultimate start, so he remains in form. Has the services of Sean Bowen here and is the most certain to run his race.

Horn Cape (2.45 Hexham)

Dropped in trip and tackling a softer surface on his second start for Ben Haslam, Horn Cape produced a career-best performance to win comfortably by nine lengths. He travelled extremely well that day and barely came off the bridle, so there looks to be plenty more to come kept to those conditions. He lines up under a 7lb penalty, which makes him 3lb well in as he's due to go up 10lb for that ready success. He should be hard to beat.

Winklevi (5.30 Wolverhampton)

The addition of first-time blinkers did nothing to improve Winklevi's performance last time, so it's no surprise that they've been left off here. That last run came at Lingfield, where he has run poorly before, and the return to this course is a big plus. Four of his five best Racing Post Ratings have been achieved over this course and distance, including a victory off a mark 15lb higher than he is here. He never runs a bad race at the track either, emphasised by form figures of 223213532, and went down by just half a length on his latest visit. Saffie Osborne is a great jockey booking and Winklevi should go close.
