9/1

The Sandown Park starter to next week’s Cheltenham Festival main course is a very tasty meeting, and as competitive as expected. The Imperial Cup, a Listed Mares’ bumper, two tricky handicap chases, an open juvenile handicap hurdle and the European Breeders’ Fund Betfair ‘National Hunt’ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Final at 1.50 provide ample betting opportunity…if you can find it!

Tricky stuff as you can imagine, but there’s definitely a 1-star * Daily Value selection for WhichBookie to be had in the above mentioned EBF Final, a race that is always a lovely pre-cursor to future chasing types.

However, it’s not always won by the type you’d expect, that is the chunky future staying chaser. Out of the last 10 winners, by my estimation only 3 have gone on to better over fences, what they were able to achieve over hurdles.

It might be that the subsequent fencing improvers come from those down the field, as in a big field on the hurdle course at Sandown Park, space and room to open up and gallop can often be hard to come by.

Hence why the selection is a slightly more compact, nippy type in the form of Ben Pauling’s Four Springs, who is a bet at 10/1 each-way with Bet365, BetVictor, Betfred and Boylesports for 5 places.

Ben Pauling had the well-backed 3^rd two years ago and saddled the 1-2 in the race 12 months ago, and as if you needing telling and hadn’t noticed this season, he is a coming force at the top table. Four Springs has progressed really quite nicely in three hurdle starts, and his last run 2 weeks ago will have put him spot on for this following a wind operation.

Cheekpieces are added as the final touch, and his Market Rasen and Warwick form has been massively undervalued by the handicapper, as himself and the likes of Japetus, Quaviste and Sinnatra are all potenitial 135+ horses in my opinion. Four Springs runs here over a suitable track, trip and ground off 118.

1.50 Sandown – Novices’ Handicap Hurdle – 2m4f

Competitive race as you’d expect being a series final and a Premier Handicap but KAKA’S COUSIN looks worth siding with at the prices.

He’s a staying novice and won at about the middle trip on rules debut before dropping back to 2 miles for his next two starts, battered by the now134 rated Starmount when that horse was sent off 1/7 then slammed the now 125 rated Kocktail Bleu in his next start who went on to be second in the Grade 2 Dovecote. Two season wins have come on Good and then Heavy so no issues there and I think he’s well handicapped off 126 and the step up to this trip will potentially bring about even further improvement.

KAKA’S COUSIN – 1 STAR EW @ 11/2 (5 places 1/5)

 

3.00 Sandown – Mares’ Bumper (Listed) – 2m

I’m a little surprised at the price of BURDS OF A FEATHER after her bumper win a couple of weeks ago on rules debut when slamming her rivals albeit in a Class 5 at Warwick. There are lines through horses behind her to suggest she’s clear of the likes of The Flaggy Shore and Western Charm so for me, she’s the one they all have to beat

BURDS OF A FEATHER – 1 STAR WIN @ 7/2

 

3.35 Sandown – Handicap Chase – 3m

Another nice race this one but I thought it was worth forgiving WELCOM TO CARTRIES for his effort last time out as he’s a horse who can just throw the towel in but he didn’t do that here on his penultimate start which was a race taken by last years winner Hoe Joly Smoke before he landed this 12 months ago. His previous run at this track was a 4^th of 5 which sounds disappointing but it was behind Handstands and Resplendant Grey.

I concede he’s not the most reliable of runners but he also gets in off 134 with this being a 0-135 so maybe connections had one eye on this

WELCOM TO CARTRIES – 1 STAR WIN @ 15/2

Racing Tips Notifications

Our racing tips are usually published in the morning but if you’d like to be notified when a new tip is posted, you can join our horse racing tips telegram group for free. This is recommended as the odds can fluctuate and move dramatically lower on certain selections once the value has been spotted !

Where Should I Place The Bets?

For each tip that is published, we recommend a bookmaker to place the bet with. Of course, you can use any bookmaker that is offering odds on the specified race but there is a reason why we recommend bookies for certain bets. For example, if a tip is an Each Way selection, we may recommend a bookmaker offering Extra Places on the race. We also take odds into consideration and so if there aren’t any betting offers available on the race, we simply recommend the bookie offering the greatest odds. If you don’t have an account with the bookmaker we are suggesting to place the bet with and are interested in creating an account with them, be sure to check out our free bets page to find the latest welcome offer for that particular bookie.
