An excellent day's racing with Newbury's Lockinge meeting taking centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
Newbury
J: Tom Marquand
T: P & O Cole
Black Run faces no easy task giving weight to all of his rivals today, however the run of Nathaniel looks just the type of horse to carry a big weight well. He was pitched into group 3 company for his seasonal reappearance in France and didn't fire that day. However he put in a much improved performance when making all the running to win at Newmarket last time out. Black Run was very strong at the finish that day and he and the 2nd pulled 6 lengths clear of the 3rd horse. With a nice draw in stall 5, Jockey Tom Marquand maybe able to pull off similar tactics today. Black Run rates a 4 star each way Pick.
