Andrew Mount's Racing Tips 21.11.24

Andrew made a good profit with his sell of DOUBLE NUMBER OF WINNER in the 8.00 at Kempton last night (market made up at 2) and he has three recommended bets/trades  on Thursday, November 21st…

LINGFIELD 11.30

UPEPO lost his 100% course record when only third in the farcical apprentice handicap run here 48 hours ago in which 28-1 outsider of five Certain Style was allowed to poach an unassailable lead. Tony Carroll’s four-year-old only just missed out on second place but it’s a run that can be safely ignored. Neil Callan takes the ride in this 1m4f handicap, and his stall 8 draw should ensure that he stays away from the inside rail where the Polytrack surface is usually deeper. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-30-20-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back UPEPO in Lingfield 11.30

2.50 Wincanton – GETALEAD

GETALEAD has a fantastic record at this time of year and Kevin Pickard’s eight-year-old bounced back to form with a shock 2m5f course win on his penultimate start. The 33-1 chance was always prominent and showed a willing attitude to hold on by three-quarters of a length and duly followed up at Warwick when starting as the 2-1 favourite. He was ridden prominently on both occasions and the switch to hold-up tactics proved unhelpful at Cheltenham last week where he stayed on to finish a 25-1 eighth of 16 (beaten by 11 lengths). His record in the September to November period now reads 25942111116118 (7-14) for a profit of £41.70 to a £1 level stake at SPP, improving to 211116118 (7-10) in handicap hurdles only for a profit of £45.70. He faces tough rivals in the shape of the Paul Nicholls-trained Irish Hill and Pyffo, who is making his debut for Harry Derham, but still looks the best buy in the Sporting Index 50-25-10 market.

Recommendation: Back GETALEAD in Wincanton 2.50

SOUTHWELL 5.00

Richard Fahey’s GINCIDENT could never strike a meaningful blow from off the pace in a 7f soft-ground handicap at Doncaster last time where he kept on to finish sixth of nine in a race dominated by those ridden prominently. That form was received a few boosts and the four-year-old old will appreciate the return to Southwell (three of his four wins have come on the all-weather) and the step back up to 1m. His latest course outing saw him go down by a neck in a Class 3 handicap over this trip and he runs in Class 4 company off a 4lb lower mark tonight. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-30-20-10 market or take a fixed odds price, each-way.

Recommendation: Back GINCIDENT in Southwell 5.00
