Reds Racing Tips 27-09

Morning all,

A busy day for me, two jumps cards to go through at Sedgefield and Southwell. I've condensed the write ups a bit, but hopefully I can still get my reasoning across.

Sedgefield

2.00 Major Ivan (3/1) was the highest rated of these over hurdles and he gave subsequent Ultima Chase 7th Out Sam a decent race over fence before falling three out. The Jefferson yard is having a quiet spell, but this represents a chance to get going again

2.30 Our Reward (9/2) was a ten length winner here last time out, his second win in three races and has a good chance to follow up for Jamie Snowden, with Will Featherstone's seven lbs claim coming in handy.

3.05 The Grey Taylor (4/1) is one to look out for making his handicap debut over hurdles and he could take some stopping if allowed an easy lead. He should enjoy the good ground and run a big race despite having to carry top weight.

3.40 A close call between last years winner The Backup Plan and Mount Vesuvius (5/1). The latter has been showing up well over hurdles and should be on a decent mark back over fences. He has won on his only start here and has a chance to make it two from two.

4.15 Well, this is desperate. A token selection for Oh So Gigolo (5/1) as Kenneth Slack boasts a 40% strike rate at this course, while Henry Brooke riding for him has a 33% strike rate and a profit of 58 pounds

4.50 Virtually Ours (7/1) is well related to five winners including Attaglance and hopefully a return to form is on the cards for the yard.

Southwell

2.20 This can go the way of Larkhall (5/2), who was second last time out at Uttoxeter and a C&D winner this time last year.

2.55 This should be an excellent opportunity for Ben Haslam's Ever So Much (10/3). A two time winner over C&D who's shown some good form this summer, he's only two lbs higher than his last win here and should take the beating.

3.30 Doitforjoe (9/2) enjoyed his visit to Southwell last time winning by twelve lenghts and he seemed to have more in hand than the seven lbs he's been raised by the handicapper for that success.

4.05 A win for Doitforjoe would boost the form of Lady Robyn, who was second here last time out behind that one, but she'll need to have improved to beat Miss Mobot (evs) who was an easy winner last time out at Newton Abbot and is the one to beat on that showing.

4.40 Master Dancer (5/6) was an easy winner of a maiden hurdle last time out having notched two wins on the flat previous to that and should be able to follow up if retaining that form.

5.10 Annamult (11/2) was a good winner last time out at this venue, coming off a break, and she beat some useful types that day. She's only up four lbs for that and could go in again.
