Race Favourite

The race favourite in this 4-runner field is DANSE IDOL at 11/10* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

There was a solid second-place finish effort for her on her first go for a new yard.

There was an immediate boost in form as she took second in a Ludlow novice.

That was 12 days ago and that was a really encouraging start for her under Dan Skelton.

Off this mark, she should have a big shot at scoring on Monday.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

BLACK TULIP is up 2lb from when she took second in a strong Cheltenham handicap. T

hat followed up a nice win that she took at Uttoxeter in October to get off the mark over the fences.

So she is in good heart at the moment and poses a threat.

NORTHERN BEAU is down 4lb from her latest successes which was a while ago to be fair.

The visor is thrown on for the first time as well. Nightfly hasn’t really produced the kind of form that suggests a score is coming.

Race Favourite

MR CHUA is the current 13/8 favourite in horse racing betting for this contest* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He is looking to secure a double after a success at Catterick in a conditionl jockeys’ effort last week. So there’s no penalty incoming for him.

Bryan Carver shaves off 3lb as well and Mr Chua may have a chance of following up on that latest success.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

Commanding some respect in this field is EMBOLE at 4/1 who is our horse racing betting tip* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He was a winner last time out as well after scoring at Wetherby three weeks ago off a reduced mark.

There’s a 7lb bump back up for him, but there appears to be plenty of room for him to work.

The other selection for this race is BRING THE ACTION who is a former point winner.

He took his hurdles form forward last time out when scoring a second-place finish at Hereford on his handicap debut.

That was three weeks ago and there could be more to come from Bring The Action.

Race Type: Class 3 handicap chase
Age: 5 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 2m 3f

Race Favourite

The current 2/1 favourite for this handicap chase is ZALVADOS* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He was last seen 38 days ago taking a good win at Doncaster to get off the mark over the hurdles.

Zalvados has not always been the most consistent for backers.

But that was a victory that showed him deliver a much steadier temperament.

If he can get back close to that form than that there’s a reasonable chance of a double for Zalvados.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

OSCAR ROBERSTON is a strong player at 3/1 in this field* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He was fourth over a 2m 7f trip at Newcastle in late November on his last run. This slightly shorter trip should probably help him out there.

On his penultimate run, Oscar Robertson did score at 2m 5f and the second-placed runner from that field has won twice since. The potential is there.

SOLAR IMPULSE is the other obvious pick for the shortlist. There is a competitive market still for him after a good return to form to claim a second-place at Doncaster in December.

That was only after a 7-day break. Solar Impulse was well clear of the rest in that one and should bring place claims to the table.

Race Favourite

SHANTOU EXPRESS is the current 9/4 favourite in horse racing betting* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He missed out on a hat-trick on his last run, which on a move up to Grade 2 in which he found a little too tough to handle.

That latest trip at Ascot in the Supreme Trial Novices’ Hurdle saw him take fifth after wins at Sedgefield and Exeter.

He’s not to be dismissed easily in this fixture.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

PAY THE PIPER brings some hot form to proceedings as well after securing a hattrick last time out. That came by a very narrow margin at Carlisle last month.

Pay The Piper comes into handicapping for the first time now and should be able to deliver another strong effort.

SAINT ARVANS deserves a bit of respect in this contest as well as he jumps up 7lb in the ratings. He got off the mark in a Kelso maiden in October.

Saint Arvans then delivered his second win in three when scoring back at the course on his handicap debut.

That was three months ago and Saint Arvans produced a very strong finish in that.

Race Favourite

EATON MILLER is the current 3/1 market leader for this chase at Wetherby on Monday* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He is on a hattrick bit on Monday, but he is going to have to defy an 8lb bump in the ratings because of his recent form.

Eaton Miller delivered a chase and hurdles win in quick succession last month.

The form is clearly there and he’s thriving at the moment. The return to 3m is a boost for him.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

HANG TOUGH made a good impact on his chase debit to score at Lingfield in November.

He followed that up with a tame effort back at the course to take third. He was never in contention there.

But he is still on a good mark for this one and if he can tap into the form from that chase debut, he should have a chance.

We are going with the consistent NORHTONTHORPLEGEND next who has won at Wetherby before.

Last season he collected a couple of chase wins around this mark.

He arrives after a decent effort in a jumpers bumper and has been in the frame in his first four national hunt efforts this season.

He’s a big enough player to consider at 6/1* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

Race Favourite

LUCKY’S DREAM is the 7/4 favourite in this small field at Wolverhampton* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

He has been in cracking form this season, opening with back to back wins, the most recent of which was at Lingfield in February.

Lucky’s Dream was second last time out in a strong handicap at Kempton, just 5 days ago. He moves back up in the trip now and has strong claims.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

GALAHAD THREEPWOOD is coming up in class after a 7lb rise in the ratings.

But he is thriving at the moment after back to back wins at Linfield at a 1m 4f trip.

It’s been sharp progress from him this season and he can’t be written off, so is our 9/4 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Bet365).

The other that can’t be ruled out of this contest is SWEET CELEBRATION. She has taken back to back second-place finishes this season.

The most recent run that she had was at Newcastle three weeks ago when she wasn’t ideally placed.
