Free horse racing tips for Sunday, May 4 at Newmarket and Hamilton

Handicappers' nap

Masekela (4.53 Hamilton)

Has shaped better than the bare form in both starts at Thirsk this spring, including when unlucky not to finish closer than sixth last time. Down in grade here and can take advantage of a much reduced mark under David Allan.

Eyecatcher

Moonfall (4.45 Newmarket)

George Boughey's colt pulled nicely clear of the third when runner-up on his debut over course and distance last month and will be hard to beat with that experience behind him.

The Punt nap

Elmalka (2.20 Newmarket)

Last year's 1,000 Guineas winner ran with credit in three subsequent starts and this 1m1f trip looks good for the Roger Varian-trained filly.
