Neil Morrice outlines his best bets and tips for Thursday’s British race meetings at Newbury, Ludlow, Sedgefield and Chelmsford City on 04/11/2021.
NEWBURY – 04/11/2021
Race 5 No11 ONE FOR YOU
Trainer: Philip Hobbs – Jockey: Tom O’Brien
ONE FOR YOU has the look of a well treated horse, based on the way he took out back-to-back handicap hurdles at Ludlow and Market Rasen in the spring. He’s getting plenty of weight from horses like Highway One O One and should confirm his superiority over that rival.
Race 6 No3 VALLERES (Nap)
Trainer: Alan King – Jockey: Daryl Jacob
VALLERES has shown he can operate back from a break, as when dotting up at Wetherby at this time last year. He rounded-off a sequence of earning performances with another clear cut win at Fontwell, and it’s very interesting that his in-form trainer has pitched him straight into a handicap on this switch to fences.
LUDLOW – 04/11/2021
Race 2 No7 OBEY THE RULES
Trainer: Donald McCain Jnr – Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
After needing a couple of races to get the hang of fences, OBEY THE RULES powered home at Hereford on Monday. His connections want to strike before he is reassessed, and he can follow-up under a penalty.
Race 3 No2 WHAT ABOUT TIME (Nap)
Trainer: Charlie Longsdon – Jockey: William Kennedy
Former winning point-to-pointer WHAT ABOUT TIME made a perfect start to racing under Rules when hosing up in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter. He’s considered a bright prospect by his shrewd handler, and can take this introductory hurdle on the way to better things.
SEDGEFIELD – 04/11/2021
Race 3 No1 GEROMINO (Nap)
Trainer: Donald McCain Jnr – Jockey: Theo Gillard
GEROMINO was gameness personified when outbattling Midnight Centurion on his reappearance at Uttoxeter. He has a big weight on this switch to handicaps, but has the fortitude to advertise his well being with a follow-up triumph.
Race 6 No1 HEARTBREAK KID
Trainer: Donald McCain Jnr – Jockey: Brian Hughes
From the same stable, HEARTBREAK KID needs taking seriously on his return to the fray and first run in a handicap. He took well to fences without managing to win a chase last season, but should soon get that monkey off his back, as he’s got the make and shape for the job.
CHELMSFORD CITY – 04/11/2021
Race 3 No9 NOBLE ORDER (Nap)
Trainer: Charlie Appleby – Jockey: Adam Kirby
If making normal progress from his pleasing introduction at Newmarket, NOBLE ORDER should prove hard to beat as he switches onto Polytrack. Though not match for Claymore he was the subject of strong market support, and that will have taught him plenty. Interest is also afforded to newcomer Assessment, a Kingman colt that must not be dismissed lightly.
