Race Favourite

The race favourite in this big Sandown field is KARL PHILIPPE at 6/1* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

There has been some superb form from him this season, including taking a win on his latest run which was at Exeter last month.

That saw him open his hurdles account in fine fashion after a couple of near-misses.

Karl Philippe looks to be on a reasonable enough mark and can get himself in the frame.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

CAPTAIN MORG is our horse racing tip for this one at 8/1* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

He won his hurdles debut at Ascot before getting beaten at Kempton and then Fakenham, with the latter track probably too quick for him.

Captain Morg is on a fine mark to get something together in this one.

PATROCLUS is seeking a hat-trick with Nico de Boinville getting the ride for Nicky Henderson.

Patroclus is making rapid progress already over the hurdles and he defied a penalty to score at Doncaster 17 days, getting the better of Riggs by almost a length.

The other win for Patroclus this season was at Exeter. He may well be a big player.

Race Favourite

NATURAL HISTORY is the 4/1 market leader for the Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle at Sandown on Saturday* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

On his switch to the hurdles, Natural History was beaten on his first two attempts, having to settle for second place at short odds.

But then it all fell into place for him at his third attempt when he scored very impressively in a Plumpton handing a couple of weeks ago by 15 lengths.

There is a massive 16lb hike for him to deal with in the ratings, but there is still room within the handicapping mark for him to work.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

MIRANDA is the other big player in the field for us. She scored a Grade 2 Doncaster win back in January against her own sex.

On the move back to handicapping she gets a 7lb conditional to help out as she has a lot on her plate at top weight.

It’s been two wins in three efforts from her so far this season, having also scored at Ludlow.

Miranda is our 14/1 e/w selection* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

LANGER DAN has to be the other name for the shortlist in this one.

He was eye-catching at Market Rasen on his latest run when he took a fourth-place finish behind a couple of these.

But he was keeping on well it was the first run back since wind surgery. Langer Dan does look as if he has enough to offer a bold run in this one.

Race Type: Class 4 handicap chase
Age: 5 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 3m

Race Favourite

The 3/1 favourite for this handicap chase is CASH TO ASH at 3/1* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

There was a runner-up finish from him on his latest run which was at Wetherby last month. He stays at the same mark.

That was just a big return to form from Cash To Ash, which really was unexpected as he hadn’t looked up to that this season. Can he build on it though?

UK Racing Odds & Tips

TALKTOMENOW may be able to get something going as he looks for a bounce back performance.

He just never got things going in the Devon National last time out and failed to complete there.

But he won on his chase debut in December at Fontwell and followed up with credible efforts afterwards before that Exeter effort at the Devon National.

This looks more in his scope and is our 4/1 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

CAVANTARA is the other that we are putting on the shortlist because there are reasonable ways of capitalism here.

The tongue tie goes on for the first time for the 9-year-old.

Cavantara has been lightly raced since late 2019 but he has slid to an appealing mark and his yard is in form.

Race Details

Race Type: Listed Novices’ Handicap Chase

Distance: 2m 4f

Race Favourite

BELARGUS is the 4/1 favourite for this contest* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

He has been getting better and this season and confirmed that with a win here at Sandown in February. Belargus put his foot down two out and cruised.

This is likely to be a race with a quick pace and that should play into Belargus’ hands.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

NO GETAWAY looks like one to keep onside as well here. He won impressively on his first run after wind surgery.

That happened at course and distance last month.

No Getaway has been challenged with a 10lb rise but that may be surmountable, and he looks like he could develop into a very good chaser.

No Getaway is the pick at 11/2* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

HIGH UP IN THE AIR is just thriving at the moment so he could be worth chancging.

He recently completed a five-timer when he scored at Fontwell last time out.

The handicapper has naturally been after him again with a further 8lb to come. But he doesn’t look like he is done improving in this big spike of form.

Race Details

Race Type: Class 3 handicap hurdle
Age: 4 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 11
Distance: 2m 4 1/2f

Race Favourite

The 9/4 favourite for this handicap hurdle is CORRIEBEN REIVER* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

He returned to action and duly delivered a win after 16 months away. That was at Kelso last month to move him on to two wins from two hurdles efforts.

The price of that was an 11lb rise for Corrieben Reiver, but frankly, he looks good enough to shrug that off.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

MAYO STAR warrants a look here. Last season he did earn a course and distance win as well as a success at Newcastle.

He recently had a go at the fences here at Ayr which was encouraging enough but has to be a threat back in this sphere. Mayo Star is also coming down on the trip.

TEESCOMPONENTS LAD has continued in good fashion this season. He claimed a win at Market Rasen three races ago, back in November.

He had the blinkers on for the first time on his latest run which was at Carlisle and he put in a credible run there and he has a good chance of getting back in the frame.

Race Favourite

MARRACUDJA is the 15/8 favourite* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

He has now returned to his last winning mark and he produced a good third-place finish at Wetherby last month.

There was a good amount of fight that he delivered in that one.

So he could have more to offer as he comes back into action after a small break of 24 days.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

HOLLYWOODIEN may be worth a look in this one as he has delivered a couple of good runs this season.

He took third at Sandown on his return after a 10-month break and a wind op.

In March last year, he did score at Hereford. This is a wide-open contest and Hollywoodien is a 5/1 option* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

SOLOMON GREY picked up a win in a chase effort at Uttoxeter back in August.

He has been away since then, but he is in very good hands. He justified support last time out and may be able to get back in the picture.

Distance: 2m

Race Favourite

MASKADA is the strong 6/4 favourite in horse racing betting for this Hereford contest on Saturday* (betting odds recorded 19:12 GMT on Friday, 12th March 2021 at William Hill).

She collected a win on her penultimate run, which was at the 2m distance at Newbury back in January. She followed up with a similar show for form at Catterick.

He was hanging left a lot on that Catterick run and despite that still managed to take second. She looks to be the one who sets the standard in this contest. She is a former C&D winner.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

STRIKE HOLLOW receives a fair bit of weight from the favourite and looks a threat on a return to the 2m trip.

She has looked fairly promising on her two hurdles efforts so far and collected a credible fourth in a Chepstow effort last time out. Strike Hollow should be in the mix.

SACRE COUR is an interesting one in the field as well after taking on a more reasonable challenge.

She was never in a Grade 2 effort last time out and she also makes the switch back to the timbers in this one. Sacre Coeur won a couple of times early last summer.
