## **Andy Newton Horse Racing NAP Tip Today (Thursday 16th July, 2026)**

### **7:37 Worcester SQUARE D’ALBONI (NAP)**

Got off the mark over hurdles last time for the Skeltons at Stratford and looks another that could run up a sequence this summer.

That win came off a wind operation over 2m2f but the drop back to 2m looks fine and gets a handy 4lbs from his main rival Chemistry.

Harry Skelton rides and if building on that last run Square should have too many shapes here.

## **Today’s Other *‘Muggy Favs’* Lucky 15 Horse Racing Tips** **(Thursday 16th July, 2026)**

### **1:53 Thirsk CLEMENTINES STAR**

This Kubler runner has been a tad frustrating in her opening runs – with four placed efforts and no win.

But connection seem to have found a good race for her to break her duck and despite not winning, those runs is still the best form on show here.

Will Carver rides and it will be a disappointment if Clementines Star isn’t shinning today.

### **2:15 Hamilton CLASSY CLARETS (NB)**

Did us a favour a few days ago at Wolves – when blasting out the gates and winning well under Billy Loughnane.

Has a 5lb penalty for that win, but that is offset with Jack Nicholls claiming 5lbs.

Down to 5f today too, but has shown a lot of early pace in recent races to suggest it will be ‘catch me if you can’ tactics from the gates again here.

Clarets can be too Classy again.

### **4:20 Leopardstown STAR OF STATE**

This Joseph O’Brien runner made a pleasing debut at Fairyhouse, when 2nd – beaten only 1 1/2 lengths.

With the winner – Livenka – looking a smart filly.

Out just 8 days later and so with the expected improvement should be hard to beat in a race the yard won in 2024.
