Andrew Mount's Racing Tips 08.11.24

Andrew heads to the Exeter and the evening all-weather fixture at Newcastle for his two recommended bets/trades on Friday, November 8th…

EXETER 3.35

Alan King saddled a handicap chase winner at Newbury yesterday and EGBERT has sound claims of following suit in this competitive Class 3 contest. The seven-year-old has not been seen since pulling up in his final start last term but that was when 50-1 for the Scottish National and he returns to much calmer water today. The blinkers are discarded in favour of visor – he won by four lengths at Doncaster the only time he wore them previously – and he has a good record when fresh, winning comfortably at 8-1 on his reappearance at Kempton last term and going down by just a length and a half at 16-1 on his hurdles/seasonal debut in the 2022/23 campaign. Buy at 9 in the Sporting Index 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price (12-1).

Recommendation: Back EGBERT in Exeter 3.35

NEWCASTLE JOCKEYS

Linda Perratt has her string in good form, with her runners in the past fortnight achieving the following results….

4^th 5-1

3^rd 25-1 (beaten by a nose and a short head)

2^nd 14-1 (beaten by a short head)

WON 8-1

2^nd 15-2

…she has three runners with solid claims at Newcastle tonight – KEEP ME STABLE (5.15), POCKLEY (6.15) and TRAIS FLOURS (7.15), who all look well handicapped on the pick of their all-weather form. The trio are ridden by ROWAN SCOTT, who also has live chances on ANDALSEEYAGRAHAM (4.03) and GOLDEN DUKE (6.45) for in-form Nigel Tinkler, and a buy of his performance index at 34 in the NEWCASTLE JOCKEYS market with Sporting Index looks warranted.

Recommendation: Buy ROWAN SCOTT in Newcastle Jockeys

Please note that the picks recommended in this blog post are based on past performance and should not be considered a guarantee for future winning outcomes, and it is important to remember that spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit.
