Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Black Sam Bella

Time: 2.10 Bangor

Current Odds: 2/1

This mare was a good second on her under rules debut for the stable.  She won a point to point previously.  The Dan Skelton horses are currently in good form.  The majority in this race have been off the track for a while, so fitness is taken on trust.  Big Penny is the likely main danger, she ran well on her hurdle debut and should run well again.  Tangly won a weak bumper on her latest run although you can’t do more than win, she has had a bit of market confidence this morning so a decent run is expected.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: City Gent

Time: 6.10 Kempton

Current Odds: 5/1 Each Way

I am backing this horse each way.  He has been improving with racing  and although it looks a competitive race this horse looks as though he has a solid chance from a good draw.  The biggest threat could be Lady Dancealot, she has a good draw and ran well at Ascot last time when second.

At this time of the year you can quite easily back something that runs a shocker on the flat, as horses start to go off the boil ! It is hard for trainers to keep horses on the go through the season, especially at a peak.  There are exception’s, Enable was an example on Sunday when winning in France, she is an exceptional filly and has a top trainer in John Gosden, she looks to be hard as nails, and still progressing.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Rococo Style

Time:   5.00 Stratford

Current Odds: 11/4

In what is a mares only bumper, a few winning mares are running with penalties.  My selection was well backed on debut when winning easily at Southwell,  and I think she will be hard to beat today even with her penalty.  Possible main threat could be Rouergate, she was second other debut and its interesting that Bryan Cooper comes over from Ireland to take the ride.  Of the rest, a few who have shown form in bumpers and point to point’s, and Your Wan is an unraced mare , that comes from a respected stable, she is also well related to a good animal in Synchronised.

Looks as though a lot of rain around UK.  Epsom is heavy, so I will watch rather than have a bet at the meeting.  I don’t fancy anything strong at Musselburgh.  It is the big meeting in France at Chantilly, Enable is hot favourite to win the Prix de l’arc de Triomphe, she is very short odds and has the best form, especially over the trip (1m 4f).

However I won’t be backing her, she is the one they all have to beat, but  it has been a long season and has some strong opposition taking her on.   If Winter stays 1m 4f, she could be overpriced at 10/1 but its her first try over the distance, she is the choice of Ryan Moore,  so that has to be seen as a positive as he has won on the majority of the Aiden O’Brian horses previously, including a recent win on Capri in the St Leger at Doncaster, lots of horses with chances.
