Sarab Star

J: Tom Marquand T: J Channon
Race Winner
42/25

Reason for Tip

Talented youngster from the Channon yard who had a good year last year including two wins and a second place here at Kempton. Has looked progressive and better for each run really and more of that is likely today too. Returns after 4 months off and now a four year old and looks absolutely the one to beat in this race today. Well drawn from stall 1 and likely to dictate from the front, if given an easy lead is going to be incredibly tough to peg back. Likes this course, yard are ticking nicely and has a top booking in Tom Marquand who has a fantastic record aboard Channon trained horses. Sarab Star looks the likely winner, not sure anything in this field will better him.

Return Of The Gods (6.30 Wolverhampton) – 15/8

Trainer: Ed Bethell
Jockey: Callum Rodriguez

Two-year-old Return Of The Gods was a £350,000 yearling and showed serious promise on debut here at Wolverhampton when finishing a close third in a big field. The Bethell yard’s youngsters often take a big step forward on their second start, and he looks perfectly placed to do just that tonight.

This isn’t a strong race — the main threats look limited — and the track experience will be a major plus. Rodriguez retains the ride and boasts a strong 20% win rate when combining with the Bethells at this course. Everything looks set for him to deliver on that expensive price tag and get off the mark here.

💬 TipMan’s Verdict: Second start, perfect draw, proven ability — this looks the winner.

Ballywood

J: Tabitha Worsley T: G Howell
Race Winner
19/2

Reason for Tip

Oldest horse in the field by a fair way is Ballywood at 12 years old. Hasn’t won in seven years but has gone close on a number of occasions including lto and is very well handicapped. Drop in trip today looks a big positive for a horse who’s ran good races lately but tailed off towards the end. Generally runs well at this track and the good ground is favourable for Ballywood. Sometimes in a weak race like the exposed can make a comeback and it’s hard to ignore the mark this 12 year old is now on. Will need the drop in trip to spark for win purposes but should run his race and at 14/1 is more than capable of contesting and does have a change today in the retained blinkers from last time over a trip that should suit. Interesting.

🎯 Dark Horse

Connie’s Rose (4.25 Bath) – 14/1

Trainer: Grace Harris
Jockey: Rossa Ryan

A proven mare who knows how to win, Connie’s Rose has 10 career victories and strong course form at Bath. Her mark has dropped slightly after a couple of tougher runs, and she’s now well-weighted to strike again in what looks a weaker race than recent assignments.

With Rossa Ryan booked — a jockey with a 25% strike rate for the Harris yard — this could be the day she bounces back to form. Big value each-way.

💬 TipMan’s Verdict: Course specialist with top jockey up — excellent each-way play.

Kingcormac

J: Taylor Fisher T: J Tickle
Race Winner
11/4

Reason for Tip

Pretty weak looking handicap here in the first at Hereford and despite now being on a career high mark following the win lto, Kingcormac looks the play to be making. Won in very nice style last time and generally runs very well at this course too, including a win back in December here. Trip is within usual firing range and ground is suited, largely reliable type who will make the running, particularly at Hereford. Yard are a small one, but a shrewd one and have been strong lately with a 40% strikerate in the last 30 days and of their three runners in the last couple weeks, two have won. Taylor Fisher retains the ride and Taylor also enjoying regular success at the moment with a 60% strikerate in the last month. Kingcormac is the one to beat.

Kittys Glance

J: Thomas Bellamy T: A King
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Small field here in the 3.15 and one who looks capable of a big run at a nice looking price is five year old Kittys Glance. Has been disappointing so far really with form of 380 but has contested a Listed event at Cheltenham and so this company today is much calmer waters. Has been off since December and was both hanging left and jumping freely lto here at Huntingdon. Has had a wind op during the break and should help this youngster along with the fitment of a first time hood which should help her settle and focus. Represents a good yard in strong form and has a solid booking in Tom Bellamy. When combining, yard and jockey enjoy regular success. Kittys Glance is a nicely bred horse who’s definitely better than what we’ve seen, chance is taken on the wind op and hood revealing her true colours and could be heavily involved here.

Vol Royale

J: H Cobden T: K Woollacott
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty wide open affair here in the 4.30 and one who looks a very nice proposition today is six year old Vol Royale from the Woollacott yard. Completed a hurdle double two starts ago both here at Hereford before contesting a warm class 3 on handicap debut lto at Chepstow. Didn’t perform great upped in class that day but looks pretty well treated on this step down in grade back into Class 4 company. Goes up in trip by 3f which on pedigree looks fine and potentially even a positive and loves both the ground and track. Lots to like today for a horse from a small but successful yard and Vol Royale has the services of a very good jockey in Harry Cobden. In the last 2 years, when Harry has ridden Woollacott trained horses at Hereford, won 75% of races which is a very favourable statistic. Big chance today for this youngster to return to winning form.

Serenity Dream

J: Rossa Ryan T: A W Carroll
Race Winner
9/4

Reason for Tip

Five year old Serenity Dream can be a little inconsistent as a whole picture but he loves it here at this track. Two wins from three starts at the track and looks nailed on for another big run today. Wasn’t far away lto over C&D when second and remains on a very workable mark. Not the worst draw from stall 6 and this boy is pretty versatile to running position, won at this track from stall 5 previously. Race doesn’t look overly warm and has a decent jockey change today to Rossa Ryan. Rossa has a decent record for this yard and is no stranger to success at this course. Major player.
