Todays Racing Tip – FLASHING GLANCE
Time & Track – 3.00 Ludlow (20/02)
Best Odds – 3/1 @ Bet365
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Ran well in a higher grade to this last time at Cheltenham when beaten five-lengths in 3rd from this mark and Richard Johnson takes the ride again. This six-year old won around here last year against slightly better opposition and that came from only a pound lower, so a repeat here would see him go very close. He was also a solid fifth from this mark of 127 on handicap debut behind the now 156-rated Silver Streak and with ground in favour a bold show should be expected.
Result – Won
Todays Racing Tip – COURT LIABILITY
Time & Track – 3.25 Doncaster (20/02)
Best Odds – 4/1 @ Paddy Power
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – This six-year old was attempting a five-timer when competing in a Pertemps Qualifier at Huntingdon last month but suffered his first defeat under rules when only managing 4th, but the handicapper has dropped him 2lb for that, he drops in grade and faces a quicker surface this time (which all four wins have come on). It’s interesting that Nico de Boinville rides this gelding ahead of one of Henderson’s and it’s his only mount of the day which could prove significant. He’s still open to improvement and it’s likely that he can resume progress here.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – BURN BABY BYRNE
Time & Track – 5.10 Ludlow (20/02)
Best Odds – 8/1 @ William Hill
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – This mare has only had the seven runs under rules so far but six of those have come at this course, where she won on handicap debut from 10lb lower in November and her latest effort in a higher grade shows that she’s on the improve. She was only beaten three-lengths that day and back down into a class 4 can see her continue her progress. Isabel Williams has struck up a nice rapport with the six-year old and claims a handy 7lb, the better ground suits and her trainer loves having winners here.
Result – Lost
