3m Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Qualifier) (4yo+) The top two in the market look well overbet now with the tips from pricewise yesterday evening. But I’m going to side with a proven performer in this company with A GREAT VIEW. He put in an eyecatching performance in a similar test…
1pt win Defi Bleu @16/1, 14:40 Limerick, Tuesday
2m3½f Tim Duggan Memorial Handicap Chase (Grade B) (5yo+ 0-150) There are several second-season chasers that make appeal in this Grade B handicap at Limerick, but none more than DEFI BLEU who comes into this off a very workable mark of 135. Defi Bleu finished third in the Martin Pipe…
1pt each-way Highland Hunter @10/1, 1pt each-way Mighty Thunder @14/1, 14:50 Chepstow, Monday
3m6½f Coral Welsh Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) The Welsh National features four previous winners with the young, progressive, Secret Reprieve set to go off favourite for this twelve months on. He could join an elite group of consecutive winners and being only 6lbs…
1pt win Captain Morgs @4/1, 1pt win Stream Of Stars @10/1, 15:40 Kempton Monday
2m (Winter) Ladbrokes Committed To Safer Gambling Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) (3yo+ 0-140) CAPTAIN MORGS should be favourite for this as he’s got form with Betfair Exchange Hurdle 2-3 Onemorefortheroad and Garry Clermont, and has been consistently running well in handicaps amongst a high standard of British hurdlers including Soaring Glory and Guard Your…
1pt win Porticello @4/1, 13:40 Chepstow, Monday
2m (2m11y) Coral Finale Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (3yo) A tricky race but PORTICELLO should be favourite based on the form of his narrow second to leading British juvenile Knight’s Salute last time out, when an untidy jump at the last cost him the race. He rallied and stayed on…
NON-RUNNER - 1pt win Thedevilscoachman @2/1, 12:35 Leopardstown, Monday
2m1f Paddy Power Games Beginners Chase (4yo+) Haut En Couleurs looks like an exciting prospect for Willie Mullins finishing third in the Triumph Hurdle on his first start for the Closuttin handler, but he still remains very inexperienced and we are yet to see him jump a fence which makes…
1pt each-way Noble Yeats @8/1, 1pt each-way Stones And Roses @18/1, 14:55 Leopardstown, Monday
3m Paddy Power Chase (Extended Handicap Chase) (Grade B) (5yo+ 0-150) Lots of chances in the Paddy Power Chase as always. Willie Mullins has got four in this and I like the chances of STONES AND ROSES at currently big odds. He’s been very lightly-raced over the last two years…
1pt win Frodon @6/1, 15:05 Kempton, Sunday
3m Ladbrokes King George VI Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Every year this race is touted as a top class renewal and every year we look back on the previous year and doubt the level of the form. I think that’s nonsense and there’s no reason to doubt FRODON this…
2pts win Farouk D'alene @11/4, 14:40 Limerick, Sunday
2m3½f BoyleSports Faugheen Novice Chase (Grade 1) There’s a top class field lining up in the Faugheen Novice Chase Grade 1 over at Limerick on Boxing Day, which looks a much better race than the equivalent Grade 1 Novice Chase at Leopardstown. Gabynako is just favourite with the bookies currently,…
1pt win West Cork @8/1, 1pt win Samarrive @8/1, 15:35 Ascot, Saturday
1m7½f (1m7f152y) Betfair Exchange Trophy (A Handicap Hurdle) (Grade 3) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Goshen is a fascinating runner off 153 and his best form suggests he’s better than that. However, catching him on a going day is the challenge, he’d like softer ground to be at his best, and his price has…
