Racing Tips – Top Tipster Steve Mullen’s best racing selections for Sunday, April 16
Steve Mullen guides you through Sunday's racing from Ffos Las, Plumpton and Southwell
PLUMPTON
2.05
PEAK TO PEAK has been given a little break since a flat run at Fontwell last time out. He had earlier looked a decent prospect when scoring at that track before a third at Kempton. He likes this trip and should get back to winning ways.
2.35
LAKESHORE LADY was good value for further than the seven-length winning margin at Fontwell last time out. She comes here under a 7lb penalty that shouldn’t be enough to put the brakes on.
3.10
All of the runners in this have questions to answer but LOVELY BUBBLY usually puts his full effort in and that should be good enough. He runs off the same mark that saw him finish a solid third at Exeter last time and this race looks a bit softer.
3.45
A couple of these are coming from modest runs at Cheltenham and that includes SONG LIGHT who couldn’t get going in the County Hurdle. He should find this a lot easier and earned his place at the Festival with some good runs at this level. The first-time cheekpieces could help and these conditions should suit.
4.20
BARDD hasn’t lived up to expectations so far but this is the first time he’s tackled faster ground and it should help. He was useful on the Flat and has all the tools to make a nice hurdler. This should be a step forward.
4.55
LITTLE WINDMILL was too rusty to turn on his comeback at Fakenham last time and should be spot on today. He has gone well around here before and had no problem seeing out a trip when winning at Stratford two runs ago.

SHADDAII has been knocking on the door all season without managing to win. That could change here after another solid effort at Taunton last time out. He goes from the front and can fight off his rivals.
