Andy Holding's Monday Horse Racing Tips

YOURHOLIDAYISOVER (best price 6-5) got his reward for a series of consistent efforts over today’s C&D last time out and providing he’s in a similar cooperative mood this afternoon, the outcome should be the same. Prior to that breakthrough victory here 14 days ago, Tom Gretton’s charge had justifiably been called one or two rude names, as propensity to find little off the bridle was turning out to be a costly exercise for his connections and backers alike. However, the first-time blinkers applied last time appeared to make all the difference as he bounded clear after once again travelling well throughout, so it’s a simply case of whether the headgear will work for the second time on this talented, but enigmatic son of Sulamani.

LUCKY LOUIE (best price 8-1) shaped with plenty of promise on his only visit to today’s track two starts ago and having backed up that performance with another solid display last time out, Roger Teal’s charge can be fancied to go well on his return to the Nottinghamshire venue. Nibbled at in the market on his opening bow on the Fibresand, the son of Dutch Art lost any chance of landing the money with a slow beginning, but in finishing strongest of all, he gave out positive signals that he may well be a more potent force when tried over distances beyond 6f. Backing up that view last time out with a whirlwind finish from the back of the field at Lingfield, the four-year-old once more intimated the ability is definitely there - it’s just a question of piecing it altogether which hopefully he can do this afternoon.
