3:35 Lingfield - Foinix
Build Your Acca With BetUK Handicap
"FOINIX gets the assistance of Oisin Murphy at Lingfield and he can win the Build Your Acca With Bet UK Handicap over two miles.
The son of Phoenix Reach ran well in second here last time when bumping into The Craftymaster on his first go at this trip and there isn’t a horse in form like that in this race.
There’s not much pace on here and they could dawdle around again, but that won’t bother Foinix who finished second off a slow pace last time out."
TIP RATING: C+
OUR TIP: BAILEY'S WARRIOR- 3/1
4:30 Newcastle -Beraz (NAP)
BetUK. It's Where The UK Bets Handicap
"Newcastle fly in the face of saving the best for last by opening their Thursday card with by far their best race of the day and it’s Julie Camacho’s BERAZ who gets the Nap vote in the Bet UK It’s Where The UK Bets Handicap over 1m4f.
Third in the November Handicap at this track, he gets a 3lb pull with the winner Onesmoothoperator on that run and he caught the eye when returning from two months off with an eyecatching fourth here over 10 furlongs on New Year’s Day.
Keen and denied a clear run on that occasion, it’s with hope it has run the freshness out of him as he can win this under Ryan Sexton if he settles for his rider in the early stages."
TIP RATING: B+
OUR TIP: QUEEN OF IPANEMA - 10/3
2.40 Doncaster - Pentland Hills
"Nicky Henderson’s PENTLAND HILLS shaped with encouragement on his return from nearly a year off last time and if Doncaster survives the cold weather (precautionary inspection at 8am) he could finally end a long losing streak over hurdles in the SBK Handicap Hurdle.
The dual Grade 1-winning juvenile was rated 157 in his pomp but he’s off 142 and looks competitive off that rating judging by the way he travelled when eventually finishing second at this track last time.
Freddie Gordon takes off a handy 5lb and there’s every chance his mount could outclass these rivals."
TIP RATING: A
OUR TIP: PENTLAND HILLS - 4/1
3.25 Huntingdon - Spitalfield
Urban Logistics Reit Handicap Hurdle
The step up in trip to over three miles could see SPITALFIELD in a much better light and a chance is taken on him in the Urban Logistics Reit Handicap Hurdle.
Jonjo O’Neill’s horse has struggled with his jumping at times over shorter trips but he’s bred to stay and going out in distance could help him with his hurdling.
If that’s the case he looks fairly handicapped off 106 with James Smith taking off another 7lb.
TIP RATING: C+
OUR TIP: UNO MAS - 9/1
