NEWSBOY'S HORSE RACING SELECTIONS FOR GOOD FRIDAY'S THREE MEETINGS, INCLUDING NEWCASTLE NAP

COVER UP is fancied to defend his unbeaten record on artificial surfaces with a win in the BetUK All-Weather Sprint Handicap (3.35) at Newcastle today.

The John and Thady Gosden speedster is 13lb higher in the weights after an emphatic score over Gosforth Park’s five furlongs – but isn’t finished yet.

Another in the winning habit is SIBYL CHARM, the selection for a hat-trick in the BetMGM Fillies' And Mares' Championships Handicap (3.00).

A length and a quarter separated Spartan Army and PALACE BOY at Southwell last month, but revenge beckons for the runner-up in the BetUK All-Weather Championships Marathon Handicap (1.53, Nap).

Julie Camacho’s SYMBOL OF LIGHT deserves a change of luck in the BetMGM All-Weather Championships Mile Handicap (4.40).

Top weight may not be enough to anchor SOMMELIER in the BetMGM All-Weather 3 Year Old Championships Handicap (2.25, nb), or Ireland’s ELEGANT MAN in the BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap (4.10)

At Lingfield Park, Elegant Man’s compatriot BENEVENTE looks good in the BetMGM All-Weather Vase Mile Handicap (2.40) and another Irish raider, DAAMBERDIPLOMAT , gets the vote for the BetUK All-Weather Vase Sprint Handicap (3.50).

The on-a-roll ASGARD’S CAPTAIN gets the call for the BetUK All-Weather Vase Middle Distance Handicap (2.05), while AQWAAM has much to recommend him in the BetUK All-Weather Vase Marathon Handicap (3.15).
