Newsboy’s Daily Double plus tips on every race from Friday’s six meetings

BERKSHIRE NUGGET is fancied to take advantage of a quick return to action to land the Join Moulton Racing Syndicate Handicap (4.05) at Great Yarmouth on Friday.

Andrew Balding’s son of Expert Eye is yet to hit the target in six attempts, but he’s edging closer and his turn isn’t far away.

Fourth placings – one at Newmarket and two at Chester – earned my selection a handicap mark of 73.

After a second at Kempton in April on his debut in the sphere, Berkshire Nugget then took third in a maiden at Goodwood at the start of the following month.

Last Friday, back in handicap company, Berkshire Nugget put up a personal best with a three-quarter-length second to Global Asset.

The front pair were four and a quarter lengths clear of the third horse that evening, and as a result Callum Hutchinson’s mount has gone up 4lb to a new mark of 77.

Back in action seven days on, the Kingsclere runner competes from the same rating before the new figure takes effect, and Berkshire Nugget should go one better.

At Newcastle, after a luckless second in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes on Derby Day, CHIC COLOMBINE should gain compensation as she goes up to a mile and a quarter for the same-level Jenningsbet In Delves Hoppings Fillies’ Stakes (6.00).
