17:20 Redcar Tips — Monday 20th April 2026

The 17:20 at Redcar promises to be an interesting affair, but the standout bet of the afternoon unequivocally lies with **AUSPICIOUS**. Available at EVS, this Nigel Tinkler-trained three-year-old filly ticks a crucial box for us: she's a young 3yo with a very recent win under her belt, a trend that consistently points towards a horse with untapped potential and significant scope for further improvement. Her form, particularly the '1' and subsequent '3' in her recent runs (0701-73), shows a horse who has clearly found her feet and is progressing rapidly. That last third, off an Official Rating of 50, suggests she's still leniently treated by the handicapper and is poised to climb the ranks. With reliable jockey Faye McManoman maintaining the partnership, and the ground expected to be good, all the stars align for another prominent display. The market has identified her as the one to beat, and we wholeheartedly concur. She’s the firm selection. For those seeking value in the place market, **Watchdog** is our confident each-way recommendation.
