1:50pm Haydock

The first race from ITV comes from Haydock and it’s a handicap hurdle over 2m3f. The one I like here is KID COMMANDO 9/2 NAP. I’m sure regular readers will know this is a horse I think a lot of and I have previously advised him as a horse to follow this season. He won well on seasonal debut over 2m at Ascot and I think this step upto 2m3f will bring out more improvement. The soft ground will be fine as he’s won on it twice and I think he’s better than a handicapper.  

2:05pm Ascot

The 2:05 from Ascot is next and it is an intriguing 4 runner race where you wouldn’t be surprised if any of the four runners went on to win. However, the one for me in IMPERIAL AURA 7/4. Imperial Aura is another horse I really like and I think it’ll be a contender for the Ryanair Chase come March 2021. He won at Cheltenham last year beaten Galvin by 3l before making his seasonal debut at Carlisle in a listed race last month. He jumped like a stag that day and I think a similar performance would be good enough to take this.  

2:25pm Haydock

Next up, is a very compatible handicap hurdle from Haydock which will be a slog for all runners given the conditions. The one for me is COLLOONEY 9/1 EW for the Olly Murphy team. This horse has always been highly thought of and he really impressed at Fontwell in October. He won well that day despite not getting a clear run at a crucial stage. The form reads well with the third since winning at Ascot and the 4th running a big race at Cheltenham on his next start. The heavy ground will cause no issues and he has a lovely racing weight here.  

2:40pm Ascot

Only 3 runners line up for the Coral Hurdle which is disappointing. Call Me Lord heads the market but he’s not for me after a poor comeback run at Aintree. I’m happy to back the outsider of the three here, SONG FOR SOMEONE 3/1 NB. This horse appears to have gone under the radar slightly. He jumps slick and fluently every time and he’s ultra-consistent. He relishes soft ground and always seems to run his best races after a break so the 275 days off the track won’t cause any problem. I expect Nico to make the running and I believe he’ll prove tough to get past.  

3.00pm Haydock

The Betfair Chase is up next and only five runners line up. I believe you can rule out the two outsiders and third favourite Clan Des Obeaux always tends to improve for his seasonal debut. I like LOSTINTRANSLATION 6/4 here. He ran a huge race in the Gold Cup despite the Tizzard horses running below par all week and he did win this race well last year. I think he is still progressing where as market principle Bristol De Mai may be regressing now he’s getting on a bit. I think the selection has the class edge.

3:17pm Ascot

The 3:17 race from Ascot sees Magic Saint head the market as he bids to follow up a good win at Cheltenham last week. This is a quick turnaround and I’m happy to look elsewhere at the prices. The one for me is DRUMCONNOR LAD 15/2 EW. This horse ran on October 31st at Ayr and he was really impressive, powering clear and winning comfortably. He has only been raised 5lb for that and I expected more. Kevin Brogan takes 7lb off and he is definitely value for it.  

3:35pm Haydock

The 3:35 at Haydock will finish in slow motion and it is a great betting race for punters with the favourite being around the 13/2 mark. The one I like is ALNIMAR 11/1 EW. This horse ran well on his comeback run at Cheltenham finishing third staying on well for pressure. He has since had a wind operation which is interesting and he won his previous heavy ground start in January which bodes well for this. He sneaks in a low weight of 10’9 and trainer Nigel Hawke has a decent strike rate at the track.
