Reds Racing Tips 24-03

Morning all,

An excellent day yesterday as Fiddlers Reel, Sharpasaknife and Stellarta all won at a decent prices and debutant General Hazard earned himself a place. 

Not as much to get excited about today, but I've picked out a few that should go close. We start at Chepstow in the 2.40 where Pied Du Roi is a touch big at 9/1. He ran ok when reappearing at Doncaster at the start of March and if you look at his record he usually needs the run after a break. He still finished fourth on this last occasion though and that is hopefully some sign that he can replicate his winning form from Towcester last May. He'll enjoy the drying ground and should give a decent show for Charlie Longsdon here.

Over in Ireland, Fine Article is one that has been on my tracker for a while and he runs in the 2.55 at Thurles. This is his best trip and he's been placed seven times out of nine runs in similar underfoot conditions (albeit never won). This looks his chance though. He's finished behind the likes of No More Heroes and Alisier D'Irlande before so he's no slouch. So Young could well be a false favourite for Willie Mullins and has the bounce factor to worry about, this being his second race after a three year lay off. At 4/1, the selection is a value alternative.

Ludlow next and Unbuckled is two from three over this distance and in these conditions. He takes on some decent horses, but many of them are more exposed and this decent ground could well be in his favour on handicap debut for Neil King. Hopefully he's fit and ready to go, because his main rivals do have recent form, but 9/2 is a reasonable price to find out.

Finally, we go to Wolverhampton where Powerful Dream is the pick in the 4.00. She is two from two on the all weather, including a win here and could well make it three in a row under Luke Morris. She has gone up a bit more in the weights, but I think she can defy that rise to take the prize here today.
