Newbury racing tip: Tom Marquand to ride De Bruyne to victory
Crest Of Glory ridden by jockey Aidan Coleman on their way to winning the Goffs UK Spring Sale Bumper at Newbury Racecourse
De Bruyne is expected to beat off some stiff competition with Tom Marquand in the saddle in the 21:00 at Newbury.
21:00 Newbury: BetVictor Handicap
Tom Marquand gets the ride on De Bruyne in the 21:00 at Newbury this evening so it's worth noting he has a solid strike rate at Newbury, winning 14% of outings.
The horse will go in search of its first win in 2023 after a fine win at Newcastle in December. He's been lacking in luck since then and didn't have a favourable draw last time out.
Hurt You Never could be the main threat here and has a good chance of building on scintillating form. He's won three straight on this ground and at this distance.
However, victory comes at a cost as the Adrian Nicholls horse will have to carry an additional 7lbs in weight.
Rich Rhythm is fairly unexposed and still searching for a win in 2022, while Ignac Lamar will run with a tongue strap for the first time and doesn't look like an obvious contender.
Our friend at Tipstrr, Race-Ready Tips, is backing De Bruyne to win.
Suggested bet:
De Bruyne to win the 21:00 at Newbury
