Tips
Two today. WHITE UMBRELLA each-way, chancing that the strongly run race she needs finally comes her way, and SUGAR SUGAR, who I think has been underestimated making her handicap bow off a mark of 65.
Three bets across the day, one from each of Redcar, Goodwood and Galway, on what is a really decent day of it. Star Material, The Liffey and Downmexicoway are the selections.
Two today, one being Carmel Valley at Ayr, the other Lanespark in the Galway bumper. Plus why Saturday’s run from Hout Bay is one to forgive.
One today, whose race I’ve had eyeballs on all week. A Stuart Williams filly who ran an almighty race on debut at Newmarket, with the form given a very nice boost yesterday.
I’m jumping back in on the Bayside Boy angle today, with the Ollie Pears filly Bayside Way in a moderate-looking maiden at Catterick.
A mare who’s tumbled down the weights, a huge price on recent form and vastly overlooked at Wolverhampton tonight. But I think they’ve all missed the vital clue — her need for a strong early pace, which she finally gets here.
The only bet today, on a seriously muddling day of it, is Jessica Harrington’s handicap debutant Noble Honour at The Curragh, off what looks a seriously lenient mark.
Onto today, and from a fair chunk of runners roughed through, I’m left with two who I think are solid punts — Hot to Foxtrot at Down Royal and Angel Shared at Newmarket.
A quiet day of racing, but one at Chepstow gets the big plus I was looking for in the shape of a marked upgrade in the saddle. Another stab at taking on an odds-on favourite with a distinctly lacking record, at a price enticing enough to have a go.
Suitably refreshed after a break in play, I’ve dodged a tough Ayr card and found three to aim at across Lingfield and Windsor — from a horse I keep chancing to a 50/1 each-way swing.
