Andy Holding’s Monday Racing Tips
Horses are wonderful creatures of habit and YOUNGNEDOFTHEHILL (NAP) (best price 5-1) will finally prove his tendency to come alive at this eloquent, right-handed track once more comes to fruition.
One triumph in 31 indicates he’s not worth going forward around, but it is significant that his only career victory and many others have come in the Co Mayo venue and following a few reasonably promising performances by his own standards on’off’ dayshe looks primed to go well on his return to his happy stomping ground. A creditable fifth in a well-run handicap at Down Royal supporting Party Playboy two begins ago signified he has still got plenty of life in his thighs regardless of his veteran status and he surely wasn’t disgraced at Cork last time when being hauled off a slow pace didn’t suit. However, together with form figures at tonight’s venue of 122U, it is apparent that for some reason he enjoys winging around these tight bends along with trip and terms in his favour also, Shane Nolan’s gelding can proceed near ending his trainer’s long, losing streak.
ENGROSSED??(best price 9-2) conducted a fantastic bit better than the bare response suggests over tonight’s route last time out and she has given the nod whilst managed the opportunity to put the record straight on her return visit.
Well-supported to back her up previous good effort within the exact same C&D, Martyn Meade’s filly instantly found herself behind the eight-ball because she had been severely hampered and squeezed out on the rush to the first bend. Recovering her balance, she subsequently had to endure a wide excursion with no cover on the wing moving down the back straight and rounding the home turn so that it was no fantastic surprise which she couldn’t quite see out her race all the way into the line. Certainly wel-suited by tonight’s course, the daughter of Tamayuz attempts a new excursion for the very first time, but depending on her or his run-style and pedigree, she’s very likely to improve for the excess yardage and if that proves to be the case, she should take high rank against similar competitions to what she has been facing .
BUG BOY (best price 4-1) conducted a convincing winner for first time in 12 starts at Ffos Las out time and having also run well over tonight’s time ahead, he speeds a confident option to keep his in-form handler directly from the zone.
Once more gradually away at the Welsh track, the son of Big Bad Bob found himself with quite a bit to perform as the field swung at home, but arriving with a long, withering run down the outdoors in the right, he slowly picked off his competitors one by one to go on a record a cosy success. Previouslythe three-year-old had run nicely over tonight’s C&D when runner-up to the handy Oydis and performance was achieved despite receiving a barbarous trip out wide for much of the travel, his campaign deserved upgrading. Returning to the spectacle of the fine screen from the rudest of health and hailing by a secure who’s experienced a two winners in the previous week, Bug Boy seems a safe bet to strike the frame at the very least. The unexposed Waterfront representing an in-form secure and jockey mix looks the most important threat based on his conduct within tonight’s route last time.
