Harry Wilson struck with a 10-1 winner in his last column - read his tips for every race on day one of Newmarket's Craven meeting
Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all seven races from day one of Newmarket's Craven meeting on Tuesday . . .
1.50 Newmarket
Weatherbys With Venatour Racing Handicap, 6f
Harry's tip: Woodhay Wonder
Woodhay Wonder is somewhat of a Newmarket specialist, with a record across both tracks of 31111 (third came in a Group 2). She won the three-year-old handicap at this meeting on her reappearance last year and took her record to 3-3 on the Rowley Mile when following up last May. She's 6lb higher here, but was beaten just half a length off this mark over 5f at Ascot in July, producing a Racing Post Rating of 106. She is better suited to this track and trip and should be primed for her return.
2.25 Newmarket
bet365 Feilden Stakes (Listed), 1m1f
Harry's tip: Nightwalker
Nightwalker caught the eye when third in the Autumn Stakes here in October, not getting much daylight when asked to make his challenge but staying on really encouragingly. That form has been well advertised by the winner, who was beaten just a nose in the Futurity next time. Nightwalker's debut third also looks better after the winner finished second in the Solario, while his Yarmouth victory came at the expense of Ultrasoul, who had chased home Dewhurst winner Shadow Of Light. He's open to further improvement now stepping up in trip and looks a bright prospect.

3.00 Newmarket
bet365 Earl of Sefton Stakes (Group 3), 1m1f
Harry's tip: First Conquest
Ambiente Friendly sets the standard, but he was beaten on his reappearance over course and distance last year, so it could pay to focus on the Godolphin pair. Ottoman Fleet has won the last two runnings and could step forward from his runs in Meydan, but First Conquest is preferred. He showed good form in Meydan, taking his record in a hood to 3-3 when winning a Group 3 before being unsuited by a slowly run race in the Group 2 Singspiel Stakes. It speaks of his improvement that he was sent off favourite to beat multiple Group 1-winning stablemate Nations Pride that day and he could take some beating with those runs behind him now down in class.
3.35 Newmarket
Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes (Group 3), 7f
Harry's tip: Nardra
Verse Of Love won well over this course and distance on her sole start at two and is likely to prove popular in the betting. That form is nothing special, though, and better value could lie with the similarly once-raced Nardra, who missed the Fred Darling at Newbury on Saturday but is fit to take her chance here. Bought for 440,000gns as a yearling, she justified favouritism when bounding clear of her three rivals on debut over 6f at Haydock in September and looks likely to be suited by the step up in trip (half-sister to a mile Group 3 winner). She's completely unexposed and could be smart.
4.10 Newmarket
Bet Boost At bet365 EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, 5f
Harry's tip: Twilight Star
There is no form to go on and the market will likely reveal plenty. Karl Burke has a good record with juveniles and his Meelaf is the most expensive in the field, while Harry's Girl (Richard Hannon) and Ruby's Angel (Hugo Palmer) represent yards that have won two of the last three runnings. The latter, a half-sister to juvenile winners Glorious Angel and Devious Angel, is preferred of those, but I'm drawn to Twilight Star. Charlie Appleby, who has a 29 per cent strike-rate with two-year-olds on the Rowley Mile, won this in 2018 and 2019, including with the selection's dam Chasing Dreams, but is having his first runner in the contest since. She's from a speedy family and is a likely type on paper.
4.45 Newmarket
bet365 British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, 1m
Harry's tip: Goldie Trickett
Those with form don't set a daunting task and it will likely pay to look at the two newcomers trained by Charlie Appleby and William Haggas. The former's Victory Queen is a half-sister to the yard's ill-fated 2,000 Guineas winner Coroebus and is respected, but Goldie Trickett, a €1.65 million sister to dual Group 1 winner Saffron Beach, is preferred. Haggas has a good strike-rate with unraced three-year-olds and she will be an even stronger fancy if the market speaks positively.
5.20 Newmarket
Each Way Extra At bet365 Handicap, 1m2f
Harry's tip: Hallelujah U
Treasure Fleet was an expensive purchase and took his record to 2-2 when winning the same Wolverhampton novice as last year's race winner Kalpana did en route, but his mark looks far from lenient. The Trickster is also unbeaten and can improve for the extra distance, but I'll be siding with Hallelujah U. He caught the eye when fifth in a Southwell novice in October, having kept on after being short of room, and that looks a strong race, with the winner scoring for the second time, while the runner-up won his next two before finishing second in Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 company in Meydan, and the third has won since. He shapes as if he'll be suited by this longer trip and can take advantage of a workable mark on handicap debut.
