Newsboy's horse racing selections for Tuesday's four meetings, including Worcester Nap

MICHAEL NOLAN has an opportunity to put a sad chapter behind him on SALAMANCA BAY (2.30, Nap) at Worcester today.

The selection runs in the same colours as the ill-fated Celebre D’Allen, also trained by Philip Hobbs and Johnson White, who died days after collapsing when pulled up in the Grand National.

Nolan received a ten-day ban for continuing on a horse the stewards deemed “had no more to give” and had to deactivate his social media accounts due to the abuse he received.

He returned to action last week and Salamanca Bay could be a fitting first winner back on his third start for the stable.

The nine-year-old recorded his only chase win at Ayr, when with Lucinda Russell, and, after three runs for Dan Skelton, ran his best race in a while when third at Chepstow last month.

A repeat of the front-running tactics adopted last time out can pay off for the well-handicapped gelding.

Later on the same card JENA D’OUDAIRIES (4.00) should make the most of her superior form in the mares’ novices’ hurdle.

The six-year-old has a long way to go to pay back her six figure purchase price but she has nevertheless been a reliable performer for Paul Nicholls in this modest grade, finishing outside the four only last time out when fifth in a valuable Cheltenham handicap.
