Andrew Mount's Racing Tips - 25.07.24

Andrew heads to Doncaster, Newbury and the Racing League action at Yarmouth for his three recommended bets/trades on Thursday, July 25th.

DONCASTER 2.30

Backing Night Of Thunder two-year-olds on their debuts, on turf only, would have found 31 winners from 163 bets (19%) for a profit of £41.76 to a £1 level stake at SP (expected winners = 21.25, A/E = 1.46) and Roger Varian’s RIDE THE THUNDER looks very interesting in this 7f novice stakes. His dam has already produced a debut winner and his trainer has a good record with this sire, scoring with 16 of the 52 runners (31%) for a profit of £9.33. Buy in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back RIDE THE THUNDER In Doncaster 2.30

NEWBURY 7.45

WILDERNESS tends to thrive at this time of year on fast ground and her Flat turf in June/July stands at 01011121662 (5-11) for a profit of £57.13 to a £1 level stake at SP. The Seamus Mullins-trained nine-year-old returned from a 144-day break to finish a 20-1 second of seven on good to firm going at Salisbury last month and, with underfoot conditions in her favour, she might prove capable of going one better. Buy in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back WILDERNESS in Newbury 7.45

YARMOUTH 8.00

George Boughey’s BOLDLY improved for the switch to handicap company when third over 1m2f at Newcastle last autumn and has also made the frame in his three subsequent handicap outings, with last month’s reappearance half-length second over 1m6f at Thirsk arguably his best effort. The cut back to 1m4f was against the four-year-old at Wolverhampton last time where he finished an unlucky-in-running third and he looks very interesting back up in trip on turf with first-time cheekpieces added to his usual tongue-tie. His trainer does well with this headgear on his older handicappers, with those aged four or older landing six of their 24 starts for a profit of £52.50 to a £1 level stake at SP.  Buy in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back BOLDLY in Yarmouth 8.00

Please note that these are examples of winning bets from the past week, and it is important to remember that spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit.
