HALKA DU TABERT and antepost favourite Luccia have both won a maiden apiece yet the former trades a fraction of the price for the Mares’ Novice Hurdle. That doesn’t make sense to me as the only concern with the former is the 2m1f trip – she looks a strong stayer…
1pt win Theatre Glory @16/1, Coral Cup (NRNB), 15th March
THEATRE GLORY might just be a handicap plot for the Coral Cup, where she can be backed non runner no bet at 16/1 with Hills. I was on her at Kempton on Boxing Day where she drifted from 5/1 all the way out to 14/1 on the exchange – clearly…
1pt win Watch House Cross @8/1, 14:20 Leopardstown, Tuesday
2m Paddy Power “Je Suis Une Baguette” Handicap Hurdle (4yo+) WATCH HOUSE CROSS has already shown a liking for the track at Leopardstown having won a maiden hurdle over this distance on this card last year. He then ran in the Grade 1 Irish Tattersals Novice hurdle, finishing last to…
1pt win Aint That A Shame 7/1, 1pt win Farceur Du Large @14/1, 15:00 Leopardstown, Tuesday
3m Paddy Power Chase (Extended Handicap Chase) (Grade B) (5yo+ 0-150) A race that often goes to up and coming progressive types. AINT THAT A SHAME is still a maiden over fences, but how he still manages to hold that title is quite incredible given he looked destined to win…
1pt win Spartan Army @9/1, 13:40 Chepstow, Tuesday
2m (2m11y) Coral Finale Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (3yo) No longer a Grade 1 so a few in here carry penalties, including the classy Scriptwriter who concedes 5lb to the Irish favourite, who has every chance. I’m happy to swing at one at bigger prices, as…
1pt win The Galloping Bear @6/1, 1pt win Ask Me Early @7/1, 14:50 Chepstow, Tuesday
3m6½f Coral Welsh Grand National Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Class 1) (4yo+) Three of the previous six renewals have been won by the favourite, however Quick Wave‘s performances may have slightly overhyped her ability and odds of 9/2 feel very skinny for a mare that tends to run her best…
1pt win Aucunrisque @10/1, 13:20 Kempton, Tuesday
2m Ladbrokes Wayward Lad Novices’ Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) I think the market might have this completely wrong with AUCUNRISQUE priced up a 10/1 rag. He was a winner over hurdles at Kempton and was rated higher than both Boothill and Lac De Constance over smaller…
1pt win Final Orders @4/1, 14:55 Leopardstown, Monday
2m1f “Bet Through The Free Racing Post App” Handicap Chase (4yo+) Embittered is not the most solid of favourites given he is argubaly weighted to the hilt and has never won around Leopardstown. The claim of Rob James could make the difference, but I wouldn’t count on it. A few…
Boxing day picks: Rubaud (3/1), Gala Marceau (8/1), Gelino Bello (11/4), Into Overdrive (5/1), L'Homme Presse (9/4), Theatre Glory (5/1)

1pt win Into Overdrive @5/1, 13:35 Wetherby, Monday
3m William Hill Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Class 1) (4yo+) Shan Blue is being priced up on some of his old chasing form. He might be well-treated but he has to defy a lengthy layoff. This can go to an improving seven-year-old stayer and the choice was between…
