Andrew Mount's Racing Tips 18.12.2023

Andrew starts the new week with two recommended bets/trades at Plumpton and Wolverhampton on Monday, December 18th. Follow his tips this week and all year round on horse racing betting sites with the lowdown on his latest picks below:

PLUMPTON 1.10

Since training in her own name, Jane Williams has a 15 from 79 record in December (19% strike-rate) for a profit of £15.02 to a £1 level stake at SP. PEPE LE MOKO, a comfortable winner at Warwick on his seasonal/chase debut, looks most progressive and could well defy a 10lb rise. The yard’s chasers tend to learn their craft on the job and improve with experience, so the fact that Pepe Le Moko won in a big field on his chase debut looks highly significant. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back PEPE LE MOKO in Plumpton 1.10

WOLVERHAMPTON 8.00

It has been very difficult to win a handicap on the round course at Southwell (distances of 6f+) from a low draw of late, with stalls 1, 2 3 and 4 failing to register a win in 88 attempts since November 1^st (expected winners = 7.41). David O’Meara’s ADVANTAGE did well to finish a 9-1 third of 12 from stall 2 when making his handicap debut in a 1m Class 6 contest at the Nottinghamshire venue on December 7^th and can be given another chance. The three-year-old showed ability in sprint novice/maidens, handling Wolverhampton well when fifth over the minimum trip in October, and the first-time cheekpieces could bring about improvement. His trainer is nine from 47 when using this headgear in an all-weather handicap for a profit of £37.42 to a £1 level stake at SP. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-30-20-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back ADVANTAGE in Wolverhampton 8.00
