Get ready for a jam-packed day of exhilarating horse racing action on Sky Sports Racing! We’ve got a fantastic triple-header lined up, featuring Flat racing at Southwell and Jumps racing at both Doncaster and Bangor-on-Dee. Let’s dive into the key races and analyze some of the top contenders:
1.25 Doncaster – A Competitive Handicap Hurdle:
This handicap hurdle promises a thrilling contest. Olly Murphy’s Pyramid Place is a strong contender, having impressively won his last race at Kempton. He’s only up 6lbs in the weights, making him a serious threat. Homme Public, despite a recent dip in form, showed a resurgence in his last outing at Bangor and shouldn’t be discounted at a reduced weight. Santos Blue, fresh off a win at Uttoxeter, will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and Coniston George, a close second at Carlisle, offers a solid each-way bet.
2.40 Bangor-on-Dee – A Clash of Hurdle Champions:
This race brings together three exciting horses. Mahland, impressive in his recent win at Ffos Las, looks primed for further improvement before moving up to fences. Plaisir Des Flos has been in phenomenal form, winning five times since March, including a career-best third-place finish at Cheltenham last month. Ridden by Jack Hogan, he’s a definite threat. Strackan, though impressive in his recent win at Uttoxeter, faces a tougher challenge with a 9lb weight increase and will need to significantly improve to contend.
5.45 Southwell – All-Weather Action:
Southwell’s all-weather track provides a competitive finale. Alrazeen, trained by Gay Kelleway, is a consistent performer, having won his last three races on the all-weather. This three-year-old stayer looks well-placed for a strong winter campaign. David O’Meara’s Heathen, victorious last month at Southwell, is an unexposed runner over this increased distance. Clockmaker, on his second handicap start, also warrants consideration.
