Newsboy's horse racing tips for Monday with Nap fancied to win again at Newcastle

MILLIONAIRE WALTZ is worth the wait in Monday’s final race, Newcastle’s MansionBet Beaten By A Head Handicap (Div II) (8.30).

The son of Heeraat scored on Tapeta in December 2019 when landing a maiden auction stakes at Wolverhampton for trainer Paul Cole.

Switched to Ben Haslam last season, Millionaire Waltz drew a blank on his first three attempts of 2021, but attracted support for a course-and-distance handicap 10 days ago.

And the money proved spot on as Millionaire Waltz overcome trouble in running to account for Rain Cap by two and three-quarter lengths.

There’s a 6lb rise in the weights to deal with, but that looks within range for a horse capable of going forward now that he has got his head back in front.

He is three from three over five furlongs at Newcastle, so GLORIOUS RIO should give another good account in the Betway Handicap (7.00).

Stella Barclay’s four-year-old sank in the mud at Pontefract last time but beat Tanasoq by two lengths at Gosforth Park on his previous start and an additional 7lb on his back may not prove beyond Jonny Peate's mount.

At Leicester, AFAAK can score for the first time since lifting the 2019 Royal Hunt Cup with a victory in the Light Brigade Handicap (4.00).
