Newsboy's horse racing tips for Tuesday's five meetings including Nottingham NAP
On a busy Tuesday, Newsboy likes the look of newly gelding Godolphin challenger for his NAP and fancies another making her hurdles debut at Southwell
KING'S CHARTER (3.32, NAP) can start to live up to his hefty price tag by getting off the mark at Nottingham today.
Efforts in two hot maiden races last year were well up to par for this grade but trainer Charlie Appleby decided the €650,000 buy would have brighter prospects as a gelding. It has worked for stable star Rebel's Romance, who took his earnings to £10.6 million at York last week, and hopefully will do the trick for King's Charter.
Last year he finished third in a race won by unbeaten Group 2 winner Bay City Roller and then fourth in a Newbury maiden stacked with talent.
The first, second, third and fifth from that race have all scored since and King's Charter can complete the sequence.
Over jumps at Southwell TAKTIQUE GAGNANTE (4.20, NB) can get off the mark for her new connections on hurdles debut.
The mare was backed into morning favouritism for a Cheltenham Bumper last month but could only finish 16th of 18.
Even that form would put her in the mix on her second start for Richard Newland and Jamie Insole but she is better judged on a promising third in a Cork bumper in January.
At Huntingdon Flat winner NOISY JAZZ (6.40) can make a winning debut over hurdles for the James Owen stable.

Newsboy's nap and selections for Chelmsford and 4 other meetings on Sunday
Newsboy's Nap selection for Sunday, June 1, is the James Owen-trained Carlton (4.00) at Chelmsford. His next best is Fakenham runner Gone In Sixty (5.05) CARLTON (4.45, nap) gets the vote to defend his unbeaten record at Chelmsford City with a win in the Sky Bet Extra Places Handicap at the Essex Showground on Sunday. James Owen's son of Frankel won his fifth race there from as many visits to the all-weather track with a length-and-a-quarter defeat of Son Of Red last time out last month. And the mount of Callum Shepherd looks capable of defying a 3lb rise in the weights. Over the jumps at Fakenham, play the numbers game with GONE IN SIXTY (5.05, nb) in the Racing TV Female Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle. The ride of Alice Stevens is admittedly a long-standing maiden but ran with credit when third at Bangor 15 days ago. The bay gelding now comes into this contest on a career-low mark and is ready to finally get into black type.

Trawlerman nets Henry II prize with ease, now for Ascot
William Buick was soon dictating matters aboard the John and Thady Gosden-trained seven-year-old – sent off a 4-5 chance – and it became apparent from over two furlongs out the Godolphin-owned gelding would be very hard to pass. That proved to be the case, as he lengthened away up the hill to score by five lengths from Coltrane. Thady Gosden said: 'That was exactly what we wanted to see. It was a small field and the plan was to go from the front with him and just let him find a rhythm, which William did very well. 'He cruised away with him and picked up nicely in the straight. He's such a giving, generous horse he almost does too much and wearing a hood almost just settles him down and helps him find that rhythm as you have seen today. 'He's had a nice little break since Dubai and that will hopefully put him spot on for a few weeks' time all being well. 'Last year we went straight to the Gold Cup after Dubai, but this year we felt a prep run would suit him well. He's not having an overly hard blow there, he seems in good order and hopefully he comes out of it well.' Trawlerman hoses up in the Henry II Stakes. Is this the Gold Cup winner at Royal Ascot? — Adam Morgan (@Adam_Morgs) May 29, 2025 Trawlerman was cut to 5-1 from 7s by Paddy Power to go one better than last year's second in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, a race that now has a different look after the retirement of dual winner and defending champion Kyprios earlier this week. Gosden added: 'Obviously it's sad and unfortunate news for Coolmore and Ballydoyle having to retire Kyprios which no one likes to see so early into the Flat season, but it also changes the dynamic of the staying division. 'But he's a grand old boy now Trawlerman and it would be great if he could now go on to win a big one. 'He wears his heart on his sleeve every time and he's almost part of the furniture now and it's great Godolphin have kept him in training so long. We hope he has a good rest of the year, time will tell.'
