Todays Racing Tip - MICK MANHATTAN
Time & Track - 1.35 Ffos Las (30/01)
Best Odds - 13/2 @ Betfair

Stake - 1pt win

Analysis - The two at the head of the betting are both currently 4lb well-in but it’s the Sam Thomas gelding that catches my eye. He won his sole bumper over this C&D back in April 2018 and has been lightly-raced since having only had the six runs and though no wins he’s ran well on a few occasions. He was a close third on handicap debut off a pound higher and ran to a similar level the last day (both at Chepstow over longer trips) and if building on those runs in this slightly weaker race then I think he’ll be going close with the booking of Aidan Coleman a positive

Result - Lost

Todays Racing Tip - HYGROVE PERCY
Time & Track - 1.45 Wincanton (30/01)
Best Odds - 11/1 @ Betfair

Stake - 0.5pt ew (3 places)

Analysis - This seven-year old was tried over a longer trip on heavy ground the last day, he travelled well but looked to have found it a bit too much as he weakened out of contention before the last. This drop back in trip as well as the drop in class should suit and from a 2lb lower mark he should be competitive if showing the form of his soft-ground win at Fontwell back in October when ridden by this jockey. It looks an open contest but I think this seven-year old might be a bit overpriced.
