Race Favourite

The 13/8 market leader is GOLDEN WHISKY* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

He scored a good win last time, impressively beating the field at Ludlow. There is a 7lb penalty for him to deal with, but there are clear claims from the Evan Williams-trained gelding.

After pulling up in his penultimate race at Hereford, that showing at Ludlow was a huge step forward in form. Can he build on it?

UK Racing Odds & Tips

AUBUSSON stays at the same mark as he was for his last effort. That run saw him take a second place finish at Warwick.

The 12-year-old veteran delivered that good run immediately after a score at Lingfield in a chase. That was under Chester Williams who stays in the saddle and claims 5lb.

AINTREE MY DREAM is our 6/1 selection for the race* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

It has been back to back second place finishes for him so he has been knocking on the door well. Aintree My Dream cannot be written off in this one and offers some longer odds value.

Race Favourite

SIGURD is the 9/4 leader for this Wetherby handicap chase* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

He is seeking a hattrick as he comes back into action in this one. The latest score that he took was at Catterick and he benefited from some nice bold tactics in that one.

Sigurd should be enough of a player in this one to get himself pretty close to that hattrick.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

THE MANUSCRIPT hit top form last time out when he won in great fashion at Market Rasen. That was easily a career-best and has to be respected after the good effort.

That was 56 days ago and it will be interesting to see if he handles a 12lb rise in the ratings after such an easy win.

ABSOLUTELY DYLAN was second in his latest run, which was at Hexham in December.

He stays at the same mark and should therefore have a chance in this one. He has knocked on the door on his last couple of fixtures. Stamina won’t be a problem for him.

Race Favourite

Heading up the market is SHANTUNG at 2/1* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

She is coming down on trip here after trying 20f in a handicap here just over three weeks ago. Shantung only found one too good for her on the day there.

But she comes down in trip and has a fair shout of ending a winless streak that stretches back to 2018.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

YAUTHYM is coming along very nicely and she makes her fourth race track appearance in this fixture. Her latest run was a Uttoxeter maiden in October.

She makes the handicap debut in this one, but the assessor apparently sees her as a threat as she comes in at a tough mark.

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE is our pick at 5/2* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral). She comes into a handicap for the first time after taking a fourth at Exeter on her latest run.

She made her hurdles debut in November and took a second place finish. This isn’t the toughest of races and she’s going from a fair mark.

Race Favourite

This is one of the bigger fields of the day and MIDNIGHT GLANCE is the current 7/2 favourite in it* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

It has been a strong season from him, having scored in two of his last three. Both wins in that double were delivered at Plumpton.

On his latest run, Midnight Glance took a credible third at Fontwell after a 7lb rise in the ratings.

He struggled a bit to close out the finish over a longer trip and took third. So he should be a big player for a shorter distance.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

AFTER THE FOX scored at Warwick a month ago and needs some respect coming into this contest. He is now up 15lb in the rating but it is still unexposed.

The win at Warwick showed what he could do and was a great response to a fall on his handicap debut at Exeter in the race before.

FRISCO BAY gets the nod from us at 5/1* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral). He was well on track at Huntingdon, collecting a good runner up spot.

He looks to be a really good traveller. That was a big improvement last time out and has a 5lb claimer to boost claims.

Race Favourite

The current 11/8 leader in the betting market for this Fakenham mares’ contest is BARDEN BELLA (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral)

She is looking to secure a double after a good win over the fences at Catterick over Christmas. That was her first go at the fences and was at a 2m trip.

So there is a big jump up in distance for Barden Bella in this one but there’s plenty of progress to be made.

The tongue tie goes on for the first time and she’s an exciting prospect.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

CATLIN may flourish in the extra distance on offer as well. This distance does look likely to suit her after a good chase debut in November.

That was at Leicester in which she claimed a runner up spot from a reduced mark on the switch to the fences. Catlin’s definitely one of interest.

EPISODE is of interest as well in the field. She was second on her latest run which was here at Fakenham just over a month ago.

Episode has been coming down the weights to a very competitive market. With the tongue tie on, she likely has a chance here.

Race Favourite

MAYPOLE CLASS leads the way at 11/4 in the betting market for this fixture* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

She is aiming for a hattrick on Thursday after bursting back into life. It has been two wins in three runs in chasing at Fakenham.

So she fits the bill and there appears to be plenty more to come from her as well. She has been strongly progressive and enters with big claims as there was plenty in handing scoring last time out.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY also warrants a look as she returns from a fall at the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup. That was her first run after a wind op, but she went down early so really didn’t get to gauge anything from the effort.

So the Champagne Mystery we feel is worth revisiting. She scored a big chase win at Aintree on her debut last season.

There has been some good consistent form from TOWN PARKS this season so he has to enter calculations as well.

The experienced chaser knows what it’s all about and won at Hereford on his penultimate effort. That was followed up by a third at Carlisle last month. Place claims are there.

Race Favourite

To round off the day’s horse racing tips we look at this three-runner field. KAPGA DE LILY is the strong favourite for the win at 4/11* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral)

Can she be denied? She definitely sets the standard here after having rattled off four wins from four this season. The most recent of those was at Chepstow in a handicap 8 days ago.

There is a 7lb penalty, which looks a little lenient for the Vanessa Williams mare. It’s been four wins from five attempts over the hurdles.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

The biggest threat is LEVEROCK LASS and we do think there is a chance for her. She is 2lb out of the handicap, but that means she receives a lot of weight from the favourite.

There was a progressive score from her last time out, easing to a win over Unknown at a 3m distance.

So this is a lot shorter and a lot sharper. She’s not unfamiliar to this distance. There’s a big task on her hands here at 11/4* (betting odds recorded 18:38 GMT on January 27th 20201 at Coral).

Rounding out the lot then is HAUL US IN. She is a mare that looks like she can offer something in chasing.

She struggled on her reappearance run at Bangor, but she looked as if she needed that outing. She scored a chase at Uttoxeter last year and has something to offer.
