Wednesday Horse Racing Tips from Andy Holding

SNOWY EVENING (NAP) (best price 2-1) has soon established a fine repour with today’s venue and arriving here following his second win from as many starts, Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero’s gelding can maintain his unbeaten record. 

Victorious to the tune of 19 lengths over 3m2f on his first visit to Town Moor back in December, the seven-year-old returned for a crack at a deeper contest a month later and despite having to contend with a trip virtually a mile shorter, he still came up trumps. 

With the well backed Storminhome jumping well and setting solid fractions from the front, his resolve was well and truly tested but despite facing everything the front runner could throw at him, he managed to find the necessary requirements to seal the deal with a nice turn of foot on the run-in. 
On the evidence of that performance, which was useful on the clock, the son of Snow Sky is arguably just as effective over today’s C&D than further and providing they go a reasonable pace on his return visit, confidence is high he can copy and paste his display from three weeks ago. 

DYNAMIC TALENT (best price 4-1) ran right up to his very best form in a warm contest for the grade at Wolverhampton last time out and there seems no obvious reason why he won’t go well again tonight over a track where he has won in the past. 

A little caught on heels as the gates opened at the Midland venue 15 days ago, he soon made up the ground to race on the coat tails of the leaders and even though he stayed on strongly all the way to the line, he couldn’t quite cope with the late surge of the heavily backed previous winner Berkshire Phantom, who found the better turn of foot late on. 

That said, the numbers from that strongly run affair point towards him being in the shape of his life and with an extra furlong not seen as a major issue given the way he hit the line the other night, Darryl Holland’s inmate is fancied to give his supports a fair spin of the wheel. 

LARGO BAY (best price 4-1) came out of top of a wild finish at Lingfield last time out, following up his previous success, and returning to a track that has seen him gather up a decent collection of results in the last few seasons, the hat trick looks well within range for the six-year-old. 

Posting a useful speed figure when successful at the Surrey venue late last month, he was surprisingly easy to back on his repeat bid just over a week late but despite the market fielding against him, he proved too strong in the closing stages, fending off a series of challenges down the straight to hold on by a head. 

Again, good on clock, Michael Madgwick’s inmate will have to raise his game for the third time in succession but being the only C&D winner in the field, he has all the right attributes to complete the mission while still seemingly well treated.
