Today’s Horse Racing Tips
Todays Racing Tip – TILLY DEVINE
Time & Track – 5.00 SOUTHWELL (TUES)
Best Odds – 7-1
Analysis – Ran a blinder over CD 2 races ago when 2nd behind an Olly Murphy hot pot beaten 6L but 8L clear of the third, went back to 1m last time out when badly outpaced now reverting back to 1m4 in an apprentice race, hopefully the jockey will be able to settle him as he is a hard puller early on.
Result – Placed
Todays Racing Tip – FILLYDELPHIA
Time & Track – 5.45 NEWCASTLE (TUES)
Best Odds – 50-1
Analysis – Another we’ve done before over both hurdles and on the flat here at Newcastle. Was a very good 4th at 66-1 for us at Catterick but was then a little disappointing over CD staying on all too late to be a closing 6th. Same jockey again here today hopefully get a more positive ride.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – SIZING CODELCO
Time & Track – 2.50 CHELTENHAM (TUES)
Best Odds – 40-1 5 Places SKYBET
Analysis – As you would expect a hugely competitive h’cap chase over 3m1. Back in 2010 I tipped Chief Dan George here at 40-1 and following year Maljimar who was collared on the line by AP on that ride. There are a couple I like here and as with every year at Cheltenham I have no problem doing 2 or 3 in each race if the betting allows. Sizing Codelco has had a poor season so far so it is a bit of a leap of faith to think he can bounce back and win a race as competitive as this but on last seasons form he’d have a leading chance. After a poor run at the festival he went to Aintree and won then followed up at Punchestown when winning easily off 150. He’s had a wind op in his 94 day break and although those 2 wins were on good ground he has won on heavy in Ireland. The other thing in his favour is Tizzards horses were running badly when he last ran but the stable have found some form recently so 40-1 looks a nice EW play.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – SHANTOU FLYER
Time & Track – 2.50 CHELTENHAM (TUES)
Best Odds – 20-1
Analysis – The other one I like ta the odds is Shantou Flyer who ran well for us here 2 runs ago when 2nd albeit well beaten by Frodon. Since then he was beaten in a 4 runner race at odds on but thats a world away from a big 18 runner h’cap, the heavy ground won’t be a problem to him either and with James Bowen riding taking a valuable 3lbs off plus first time visor he looks a terrific ew bet.

Todays Racing Tip – IBRIS DU RHEU
Time & Track – 5.30 CHELTENHAM (TUES)
Best Odds – 25-1 6 PLACES SKYBET
Analysis – Winner of the Martin Pipe in 2016 which is run over this trip, he’s yet to win a chase race from 5 attempts but he has been racing over 3m including last years festival when pulling up in the Ultima over 3m1. He’s only run once since last festival when a very well beaten 4th over 3m at Newbury off 144 his cheltenham win was off 139 and today he runs off 141.

Todays Racing Tip – BALLYHILL
Time & Track – 5.30 CHELTENHAM (TUES)
Best Odds – 20-1 6 places SKYBET
Analysis – A 3 times winner including a h’cap chase over 2m5 here back on Jan 1st on heavy ground off 133. He then disappointed over same CD 26 days later when a shocking mistake 3 out brought him to a near stand still. That was in Frodons race on heavy ground off the same mark as he runs of today. The interesting thing is at that time NTD horses were badly out of form so it would be no surprise to see him run better here.
Result – Lost
