Redcar Tips: Friday 19 June 2026

Redcar Tips: Friday 19 June 2026

A six-race card at Redcar on good ground with light rain drifting across the North Yorkshire coast. The straight mile is the feature surface here and conditions should stay fair enough for the racing to flow. Three races stand out for punters seeking genuine value, and there is a clear NAP on the card that should not drift far before the off.

3:25 — Marske Fabrications & Engineering Handicap (1m, Straight Mile Series Qualifier)

Selection: Milteye Each-Way at 13/2 with Boyle Sports

Twelve runners in a straight-mile handicap and the trainer angle here is compelling. Harriet Bethell posts a remarkable 40% strike rate at Redcar from ten runners, with an A/E of 2.89, which tells you she not only wins frequently at this track but does so at prices that make backing her horses genuinely profitable. Milteye carries top weight but the form reads well: the gelding has finished first, second, and sixth from his last four starts, with that recent win suggesting he has a live chance if the handicapper has not moved him out of range. Sean D Bowen takes the ride, which adds confidence.

City Of Poets at 5/2 is the obvious market leader for James Tate, who has been running hot with six winners from 19 runners in the last fortnight. But at that price in a 12-runner handicap, the each-way value lies elsewhere. Classic Encounter for George Boughey at 7/2 is worth noting given Boughey’s 34% course record and Pat Cosgrave’s 15% win rate here, though the form of 3-7614 does not scream urgency. Milteye at a bigger price with a yard that absolutely knows this track is the more attractive proposition.

Selection: Raggaas at 10/11 with Boyle Sports

A small six-runner novice and the market has this right for once. Raggaas is the Crisford-trained odds-on favourite and while the yard has gone quiet recently with 0 wins from 19 runners over the last fortnight, the course figures tell a different story. Simon and Ed Crisford post a 27% win rate at Redcar overall, and Oisin Orr picks up the ride with a 17% course win rate and an A/E of 1.04, meaning he consistently delivers around the level expected. A debut run of fourth from a horse that showed ability on that single start is enough to make Raggaas hard to oppose at this level.

New Poetic for Haggas at 7/4 is the obvious danger. Haggas brings a 26% Redcar record and has fired in 11 winners from 46 runs in the last 14 days, so the yard is in form. With a form line of 48, however, there is more uncertainty than the price suggests. Raggaas at around evens gets the nod on the strength of the course profile and Orr’s ability to deliver.

• Raggaas — 10/11 Boyle Sports (evens Betfred) — Crisford horses perform at Redcar, Oisin Orr solid course record

Selection: Room Fourteen at 11/8 with Boyle Sports and LiveScore Bet

James Fanshawe has sent this filly out firing, with seven winners from 29 runners in the last 14 days. That is a yard running at roughly 24% and doing so at prices that suggest confidence. Room Fourteen’s form of 83-312 shows a horse that has come on significantly from her early runs, winning and placing in recent starts, and the step back up to a mile and two furlongs looks ideal given her profile.

The market agrees, but 11/8 still feels fair in a 10-runner handicap where rivals like Raspoutine and Be Patient both carry live claims. Edward Bethell’s Be Patient at 6/1 is worth a second look, Bethell posts 26% at Redcar and four winners from 24 runners in the last fortnight, with the form of 31 suggesting a capable filly lightly raced and open to progress. Oisin Orr in the plate adds further appeal. But Room Fourteen’s more recent form and a hot yard make her the first choice, with Be Patient as a saver each-way.

• Room Fourteen — 11/8 Boyle Sports and LiveScore Bet (6/4 Betfred) — Fanshawe yard in top form, consistent recent figures, 3 places paid
• Be Patient Each-Way — 6/1 across the board — Bethell 26% at Redcar, lightly raced, Oisin Orr strong course jockey

Today’s NAP

Room Fourteen — Start Your Racing TV Free Trial Handicap (4:40, Redcar)
Odds: 11/8 — Boyle Sports (others: 6/4 Betfred, 11/8 LiveScore Bet)

James Fanshawe is operating at a blistering rate right now with seven winners from 29 runners in the past fortnight. Room Fourteen has visibly progressed through her starts, arriving here on a form line that includes a recent win and two placed efforts. The mile and two furlongs on good ground at Redcar suits, and with Callum Rodriguez aboard for a yard that knows how to place its horses, this looks like a well-laid plan coming to fruition at a workable price.
