Newsboy’s Daily Double plus tips on every race from Monday’s four meetings

LUCENTIO should find a course-and-distance hat-trick within his grasp when he takes on five rivals for the Download The Fitzdares App Now Handicap (8.10) at Windsor on Monday evening.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained son of Too Darn Hot stepped up to a mile and a half to score on Thameside by two and three-quarter lengths at the beginning of last month.

Lucentio came out two weeks later at Windsor and followed up, beating Caprelo by one length.

A 4lb rise in the weights means that Kieran Shoemark’s mount is now on a rating of 76 – 10lb above his winning mark of two outings ago.

But my selection still has more to offer on the seventh outing of his life and gets the Nap vote to go in again.

At Thirsk, KITSUNE POWER looks good in the Constant Security Serving Yorkshire Racecourses Handicap (5.00).

A three-time winner in the hands of Roger Varian, the son of Holy Roman Emperor has now had four outings for Tim Easterby, including a fine third to True Courage in James Herriot two starts ago.

Kitsune Power didn’t match that form on softer ground at the same venue eight days ago but still remains of interest.
