Welcome to the busiest day of the week for horse racing followers and we have a thrilling Saturday of UK and Irish meetings planned. The schedule is made up of Ascot, Haydock, Hexham, Lingfield, Nottingham, Thirsk, Warwick, Cork and Naas. Here are our May 11 Horse Racing betting tips.

There’s also a healthy presence of international racing designed to catch your eye, with legs of note taking place in France, Germany, South Africa, America, Canada and Australia. Place your bets on your favourite races of the day and throw a few together to create a multiple, such as a Lucky 15 or Heinz. Small stakes for big returns is the aim.

As followers have come to expect, our team have run over the all-important form and figures, picking through the betting before offering our views on the best bets of Saturday. The standout meet of the day goes at Haydock where a bumper eight-race card takes us from a competitive handicap hurdle at 2.00pm through to the 5.55pm handicap chase. There’s one grade race included in the line-up and that’s where we start.

Swinton Handicap Hurdle

The Pertemps Network sponsored Swinton Handicap Hurdle is a Grade 3 due to post at 3.10pm and sees a strong field run over 1m 7f in a bid to win the £56,000 prize money promised to the champion. We have some instantly recognisable names in the frame for this contest, including leading trainers Nicky Henderson and Dan Skelton.

This race was won by Silver Streak for Evan Williams and Adam Wedge 12 months ago, but we’re set for a new champion and a number of runners hold strong claims to the trophy. Nicky Henderson grips a strong hand for this renewal and, at the time of writing, has three entries in the mix – Mister Fisher, Jenkins and Dream Du Grand Val.

Fishing for a Win

The one we’re pinning our hopes on is Mister Fisher6/1 at Bet365. The Irish-bred five-year-old is sure to be popular in the betting ring. He brings a career record of three wins and a second from six starts and is viewed by connections as a horse with plenty of scope for improvement this season. He made a winning debut at Kempton in March of last year and won three of his first five.

That success includes back-to-back wins at Kempton in a novices’ hurdle over two miles and, most recently, around Haydock in a 1m 7f novices hurdle, shaping him as a course and distance winner. That means he stands out against the majority of this field and if we get the kind of improvement we’re expecting from Mister Fisher here, he’s sure to go close.

Our Tip: Mister Fisher – 6/1 at Bet365
