‘This horse shouldn’t be missed’ – Jason Heavey’s Friday racing ideas
The Daily Star Chief Tipster is in red-hot form and has had 12-1 and 5-1 winning naps this week – on Friday he fancies one over hurdles at Uttoxeter who has a great record first time out
THE national hunt season continues to ramp up and at Uttoxeter on Friday LOOKAWAY (3.32, nb) should not be missed.
He has an outstanding record first time out, winning on his seasonal bow in three of the last four seasons.
Neil King’s hurdler has got his preferred good ground and can collect.
ILLY’S ROO (3.40) can continue his upward curve at Haydock on Friday.
Tom Marquand rode the two-year-old to a decisive victory at Salisbury 15 days ago and there was a lot to like about how strongly he hit the line.
The in-form jockey – 10 winners in the past fortnight – gets the leg-up again in the Safer Gambling With Copybet Handicap and the assessor may have shown some generosity in giving Illy’s Roo an opening rating of 73.
It could be a good day for Marquand at the Merseyside track and he can also score on the William Haggas pair ETERNAL FORCE (3.05) and KINSWOMAN (4.50).
DOG FOX (4.07) looked an unlucky loser at Hexham last month when falling two out on his chasing debut and he can make amends under Robbie Dunne off the same handicap mark.
STORM CALL (2.50, nap) is the main fancy and nap – at Redcar.
Mick and David Easterby’s sprinter is 19lb lower than at the start of the season and has hinted at a return to form in her last two starts.
Billy Garritty is in the plate and the pair are fancied to go very close at decent odds
Garritty (above) , who is an excellent rider, can double up on the consistent MISSMIMI (3.25).
FLAMBOROUGH HEAD (4.35) and the frustrating EPICURIAN LAD (5.05) are both capable of outrunning their odds at the Cleveland track.
The latter is trained by Richard Fahey who also saddles BAMBALAM (8.00) at Newcastle tonight.
He caught my eye on his latest start and is fancied to score, along with the bang in form RING OF GOLD (7.30).
GONE IN SIXTY (5.00) looks the best bet at Fakenham on a card that is bereft of runners.
