Tipstrr’s top tips for Newmarket: Shouldvebeenaring and Zabbie offer tasty each-way potential

Our friends at Tipstrr have sorted out Thursday’s most popular tips from Newmarket, with both Shouldvebeenaring and Zabbie well supported at odds that could be combined into a tasty each-way double.
The first race of a competitive Newmarket card should see market leaders Changing Colours and Kerdos tough to beat, but the fact that some bookmakers are offering up to five places opens up each-way potential elsewhere in the field.
Shouldvebeenaring is carrying top weight by quite a margin, but the seven-pound claim of promising jockey Alec Voikhansky helps level the playing field a little.
This three-year-old colt strung three back-to-back wins together in his juvenile season and wasted no time increasing that tally with a comeback victory on his early-season pipe-opener at Southwell in January.
He looked in good shape when finishing runner-up behind Desert Cop at Newcastle 13 days ago, and although this handicap debut in stronger company represents more of a challenge, that weight allowance might well help put him in contention for a frame finish.
Suggested bet: Shouldvebeenaring each-way in the 13:50 at Newmarket
The last race of the day offers another open-looking handicap, and with extra places against up for grabs, there's more each-way opportunities among the 17-strong field.
Like many of the runners lining up today,
Zabbie returns from a six-month break, and she will be looking to build on a promising break-out season in 2022.
A successful nursery debut over this distance at Doncaster broke her duck, but her most impressive performance came over this course-and distance in September.
She kept on well on similar ground to finish a half-length runner-up behind Coco Jamboo, and a similar showing could well put her in the mix again here.
Suggested bet:
Zabbie each-way in the 17:15 at Newmarket
