15:30 Brighton
Tip 1 - Uncle Dick 15:30 Brighton - 0.5 pt EW
The Eve Johnson Houghton trained UNCLE DICK (best priced at 8/1) is an eight-time course and distance winner who has now dropped back down to his last winning mark. The seven-year-old won here in a first time visor in August off a mark of 66 under Oliver Carmichael and has now dropped back down to that mark for the first time since.
William Hill
- Solid in-play betting service
- Cash-in option to help increase profitability
- Excellent reputation within the UK betting-industry
Connections now switch headgear from a visor back to cheekpieces which is interesting and he looks worth backing with extra places available.
18:15 Chelmsford
Tip 2 - Giant 18:15 Chelmsford - 1pt WIN
It will be interesting to see if Kitaro Kich runs under a 5lb penalty here following a victory at Kempton last time but preference regardless will be for GIANT (best priced at 4/1) who has a good record at this track. The Ian Williams trained five-year-old has form figures of 112 at this track with his runner-up effort coming when “bumping into one” in the shape of Dapper Guest here last time.
Giant gets to run here off the same mark of 74 and looks likely to get an easy lead rather than a disputed one like last time. He is well drawn in Stall 2 and should prove hard to beat with Luke Morris retaining the ride.
