Race Favourite

This is a superb race with some top talent. MISTY GREY heads the field at 5/2* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

He completed a hat-trick with a score at Wolverhampton in December after hitting top form. This is a step up in level for him now though.

He has just come on leaps and bounds for his new yard, scoring in all three runs. He is a big threat in the field.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

FIZZY FEET demands respect. Here at Lingfield recently she saw off some very strong rivals including Aberama Gold.

It was a fourth course and distance win for the mare in a handicap two weeks ago and returns in great form.

She has a good draw as well and was only beaten by a short head by Misty Grey at Wolverhampton in November.

We think she challenges and appeals at 9/2* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

SUMMERGHAND is worth a look as well. He won the Stewards’ Cup last year and followed up with some decent enough runs.

One of those was in a Listed fixture at Newmarket.

The last run that he had was in October at the end of a busy year. If he moves that turf form over to the all weather, Sumemrghand has claims.

Race Favourite

BANGKOK heads up this exciting small field. He took a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton in a conditions event on his last run to Felix.

That was 26 days ago having largely controlled things from the off. Bangkok is a former course and distance winner.

As the 5/4 favorite Bangkok should be right about there* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

UK Racing Odds & Tips

There was a win for FELIX at Wolverhampton on his last run which was a month ago.

He beat a few of these rivals as well in the fixture and will remain a threat again in his field.

That win saw him claim a double but in terms of progression, he is going to have to find more to find a way to back that up in a tough race.

FOREST OF DEAN is our 3/1 surprise pick* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

He was third behind Felix in that conditions race at Wolverhampton recently.

Forest Of Dean will be making his polytrack debut but that latest trip was after 478 days away from any action, so he should be better and he is level weight with Felix this time.

Race Favourite

We have HITMAN as the current 9/4 favourite for this Grade 1 fixture at Sandown on Saturday* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

There has been fine form from him so far this season. On his debut for Paul Nicholls has scored a comfortable win at Ffos Las.

Then there was a follow up where Hitman was beaten by Allmankind in the Henry VII Chase here at Sandown a couple of months ago.

Hitman comes up on a trip and is a big contender here.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

But we have to side with SHAN BLUE who is such a superb novice chaser. It has been three straight wins for him now in this sphere.

The latest of those wins was at the Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices’ Chase at Kempton 42 days ago.

Arguably there is no better jumper in this field and the shorter trip shouldn’t be a factor.

Shan Blue is our 5/2 selection* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

The other for the shortlist in this great race is DAME DE COMPAGNIE.

She receives weight in this one and will be looking to follow up on a positive chase debit 19 days ago.

That was at Ayr and she looked calm and controlled in it.

That was Shan Blue’s first run in 10 months as well and there should be further progress to come from her with the headgear on.

Race Favourite

BRISTOL DE MAI is the market leader for horse racing betting at 9/4 in Saturday’s Cotswold Chase* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

He earned a win in the Betfair Chase in November, rising back to the top of his form. That was the third time in four years he’s claimed that.

Bristol De Mai was the runner up in this race last year, finding only SANTINI too sharp on the day.

The conditions perhaps play into Bristol De Mai’s hands a little more for this renewal.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

SANTINI is going to pose a threat of course. The runner up at the Cheltenham Gold Cup and last year’s winner of this fixture (which was then run at Cheltenham) means that strong claims are there.

He is such a good constituent performer and has won at Grade 1 here at Sandown before.

Santini is going to be in it although he hasn’t hit top stride yet, in two races this season.

He may just find enough over the long grind and as is our 11/4 selection* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway)

SAINT CALVADOS warrants some respect as well in the fixture.

If he can handle the trip and that’s the question mark over him, the stamina.

But he did so well in the Ryanair last year and on his return for this season, took fourth in the King George.

Saint Calvados was running well there but did struggle to see out the 3m. However, he receives weight from the main two in the field.

Race Favourite

ITCHY FEET is the 3/1 current favourite for the Cleeve Hurdle on Saturday* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

It has been back to back second place finishes for him and twelve months ago he was seen landing the Grade 1 Scilly Isles on this weekend of action.

Itchy Feet has been solid this season, but we are still waiting for that spark to kick in a little bit.

There could have been a small injury last time out when he was over the fences. The return to hurdles may ease some pressure.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

ON THE BLIND SIDE is an obvious player in the field here as he looked a lot more settled in this sphere.

He has been in the frame in all four stars over the hurdles this season.

On The Blind side collected a very nice second at Market Rasen on his latest run three weeks ago, after opening the season with a 3m score at Cheltenham.

He should be there and On The Blind Side is our tip at 7/2* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

MAIN FACT is another for the shortlist.

After rattling off nine straight wins with a victory on his reappearance this season at Haydock, he was thrown into the Long Walk at Ascot.

That was a little too much for him however and Main Fact finished seventh.

There’s no reason to write him off though as it was a valuable experience nonetheless. Main Fact is a big player.

Race Favourite

The race favourite for this one is DOCTOR CHURCHILL at 9/4* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

He picked up a win on his latest effort which was in a Wolverhampton Handicap just 11 days ago.

It was a fine score though and he gets bumped up 8lb in the ratings. But that should be offset on moving to the 1m trip which looks right for him.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

Heading In the right direction is FAST EMMA who has been thriving in handicap company.

It has been back to back wins for the filly at Linfield and Southwell.

So she is flying at the moment and going back up to the mile should be in her wheelhouse.

Fast Emma is our betting tip at 10/3* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

Another to watch is SKY BRIGHT who enters her handicap debut.

She produced a career best to get a fourth place finish at Lingfield on her last run, which was last month.

There could be a lot more to come from her and place claims are there.

Race Favourite

VIVENCY is the 11/4 market leader for this filles’ trip* (betting odds recorded 17:37 GMT on Friday, 5th February 2021 at Betway).

She scored a course and distance 10 days ago, just getting the victory by a short head over Perfect Rose.

That was a career best effort and continued her rise in the right direction.

Given the look of this field though she is probably going to have to find a little bit more on top of that as he comes up 3lb.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

PERFECT ROSE will be expected to give the favourite another run for her money.

That’s three straight second place finishes from Perfect Rose in current form.

So the form is there, but will she be able to turn the tables? There’s a big chance that she’ll try and lead from the front again.

TURANGA LEELA is interesting. She gets a 5lb rise after a score in a handicap here at Kempton on her latest run.

That was a very easy win for her and the race played out to her favour as well.

But there should be placed claims on offer given the run that she had and therefore current form is worth noting.
