Newsboy’s nap and racing tips for the UK Sunday meetings at Perth and Stratford

JUST DOTTIE (4.45, nap) is fancied to register a third course and distance win in the Macbet Best Odds Guaranteed Daily Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle at Perth on Sunday.

Ben Smith was on board when Al Kazeem’s daughter, trained by his father, Mike, ran out a wide-margin winner in the Scone Palace Parklands two starts ago.

That was followed by a good third at Uttoxeter since and he is likely to make his presence felt once more, further aided by Smith’s 8lb claim which will come in very handy here.

Earlier at the Scottish track, TESSY LAD (2.45, nb) is the selection for the MacBet Scotland’s Leading Horse Racing Bookmaker Handicap Chase.

Sam England’s charge was a fairly useful handicapper on the Flat for Richard Hughes in 2022-23.

The five year old has mostly disappointed for this yard but ran well when sent chasing for the first time, finishing second of 10 in a handicap at Market Rasen last week.

On the evidence of that, Jonathan England’s mount looks ready to take a step further and gain a first victory over obstacles.
