Newsboy’s horse racing tips for Thursday’s meetings, including Nap at Chelmsford

WOOLHAMPTON (7.25, Nap) can build on a career best effort at Bath five days ago and secure a first Listed success under former champion jockey Oisin Murphy at Chelmsford tonight.

The filly, runner-up in last year’s Weatherbys Super Sprint at 80-1, found 5f too sharp behind the 106-rated winner Happy Romance.

She ran on to finish under five lengths behind the winner and should appreciate returning to six furlongs.

The Rod Millman-trained three-year-old got off the mark over the distance at Wolverhampton in March, for which she was long odds-on, but has shown she is not out of place at this level, finishing third in a Listed contest at Newbury last August.

Klassical Dream bids for a hat-trick of wins in the Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown under Paul Townend but stablemate MONKFISH (5.25, Nb) is taken to spoil the party.

A two-time Cheltenham Festival winner, Monkfish captured the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle in 2020 and the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase the following year.

He returned from nearly two years off the track at the Irish Grand National meeting this month and very nearly made a winning comeback, going down by half a length to Asterion Forlonge in a Grade 2 hurdle.
