UK Horse Racing Tips

The Betway Heed Your Hunch Handicap (Div. II) (2.40) may well be aptly named, because the only recent winning form on offer is that of the 3-year-old Liberisque – Latin for ‘Children’, if you’re interested – who made all to win a lowly 0-50 handicap, over 1 mile 2 furlongs, at Chelmsford on his penultimate start. However, he was soundly beaten in a similar race to this one, off today’s revised mark, over the same course and distance last month and, trying a mile-and-a-half for the first time, is not difficult to oppose.

In terms of a likely winner, Luna Magic has been beaten on all six starts since winning at Yarmouth in April, but was only beaten a head in a 0-75 handicap, over a mile-and-a-quarter, at the seaside track in August and ran her best race since on his return to Polytrack, over course and distance, 18 days ago. On just her second attempt over a mile-and-a-half, Lydia Pearce’s 4-year-old filly was denied a clear run in the closing stages but, once in the clear, kept on inside the final furlong to finish seventh, beaten just 2½ lengths, behind Your Band. Much like when you’re hoping for a big roulette win, you’ve got to be in at to win it, perhaps at the Online Casino Deutschland.

Luna Magic has been dropped 2lb in the weights, to 2lb below her last winning mark so, with winning form, albeit over a mile, on this course, she appeals as well-handicapped, with the distinct possibility of a little further improvement to come. She’s by no means prolific, but is more than capable of winning this on the pick of her form and should, at the very least, give us a decent run for our money.

Selection: Lingfield 2.40 Luna Magic to win – 14-1
