Horse racing tips: Nottingham 4.10
This two-mile stayers handicap has attracted a field of seven but appears a straightforward puzzle to resolve. After an absence of 654 days, Super Superjack can be opposed and the same can be said for both Tenerife Sunshine and Sarsons Risk.
Sir Mark Prescott’s gelding TROOPER BISDEE showed very little in his first three starts in maiden and novice company, as many of the yard’s runners do. But his record since switching to handicaps is a lot more impressive and he has won two of his three starts over today’s trip.
That includes an emphatic eight-length victory on his penultimate start at Ffos Las – a particularly impressive win given he made a slow start and raced keenly in the early stages.
He was disappointing at Thirsk when last seen, but that run may have come too soon and he can be forgiven. He is fairly lightly raced and there should be improvement to come as a four-year-old.
Selection: Trooper Bisdee @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Brighton 3.50
This 1m 4f handicap should be a competitive affair. Hurtle was a runner-up at Bath last time out and will be fancied by some to go one better, while the quicker ground should suit Sailing On.
Our eyes are drawn to one that is likely to be less popular but has plenty in his favour. GALLIMIMUS has three career victories to his name and they have all come on good-to-firm ground. With that in mind, the conditions here are a massive boost to his chances.
He was victorious on his only previous start at this venue. That win came off a mark of 59 back in July and his rating is beginning to decline, having gone as high as 70 since then.
Now rated 65, he should be competitive and can run a big race provided the trip isn’t an obstacle.
Selection: Gallimimus @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Huntingdon 7.40
This Class 3 handicap hurdle over 3m 1f is the feature race and there are a few potential candidates.
Ben Pauling’s Mole Court is likely to prove popular with the punters after he made a fine start to his chasing career last season, but he could be worth taking on as he reverts to the smaller obstacles.
Nigel Twiston-Davies’ BALLINTUBBER BOY is likely to get the going he likes. All five of his wins have come on good ground and he has failed even to place when soft has been in the going description.
His most recent success came over course and distance in October when he made all before keeping on well to score by a cosy margin. A 5lb higher mark shouldn’t prove a problem, while the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies, who has won four times out of six on the selection, is also in his favour.
Selection: Ballintubber Boy @ SP with BetMGM
