The Daily Star’s Chief Tipster Jason Heavey reckons Jamie Snowden’s chaser is the one to back at Taunton on Thursday
DANCE into action with MOVE WITH THE BEAT (2.51, nap) in the Richard Williams Memorial Handicap Chase at Taunton on Thursday.
The multiple point winner, who is trained by Jamie Snowden, made amends for his late mishap here when opening his account in a 12-runner handicap chase at Ludlow six weeks ago.
On that occasion, he travelled with zest and then only did what was required after the last fence.
And his 5lb higher mark is negated by the allowance claimed by the going-places claimer Isabelle Ryder.
THANK YOU BLUE (4.27) goes in search of a February three-timer in the Nightjar British Stout Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle at Ludlow.
Jennie Candlish’s charge won well twice over two and a half miles at Sedgefield and despite a 9lb hike, the son of Blue Bresil can complete a quickfire treble back down in trip to two miles.
LARGY FORCE (3.35, nb) is the choice for the Entertain In Style At Wetherby Racecourse Handicap Chase.
The eight-year-old gained a deserved first win under Rules in a five-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter in December after switching to the Olly Murphy yard.
He then went close from a 2lb higher mark at Windsor and with champion jockey Sean Bowen on his back again, he is bound to go well again.
Back at Taunton, Fergal and Fern O’Brien team up with COOLER THAN ME (2.16) and can make it count in the St Austell Brewery Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle.
The 5lb conditional was in the plate for two relatively smooth victories earlier this month at Market Rasen and Taunton and a return to Somerset can bear fruit for the eight-year-old.
