Newsboy's horseracing tips for Thursday's six meetings, including Southwell Nap

REGINALD CHARLES looks ripe for a hat-trick when he faces nine opponents for the GB Civil Engineering Handicap (4.45) at Southwell on Thursday.

The son of Zoustar missed the target on his first 16 attempts and was limited to just one outing in 2024.

But Reginald Charles has come good for a move to Geoff Oldroyd, enjoying a red-letter day with a half-length call from Portoro over this course and distance at the end of January

The runner-up gave the form a buff up by going one better next time and Reginald Charles followed up at Newcastle last time out.

Sent off the 10-11 favourite for a seven-furlong handicap, my selection had too many guns for Keep Me Stable, scoring by a length and three-quarters.

There’s a 6lb rise in the weights to deal with here but PJ McDonald’s mount is thriving and is expected to go in again.

Archie Watson’s team are flying and TWAFEEG is of interest as he makes her return to action in the Infobond Technical Manpower Services Fillies' Handicap (5.00).

Hollie Doyle’s partner, who made a successful racecourse debut at Doncaster in June, was highly tried in three subsequent races last year and looks well treated on a British Horseracing Authority mark of 87 as she sets out in the handicap sphere.
