Saturday's Horse Racing Tips: December 18th
Today’s Racing Tips – December 18th
There are six cracking NH races on ITV on Saturday, with Ascot and Haydock staging two top level meetings with big fields and ultra competitive handicaps likely to dominate the betting markets.
The main race of the day is the 2.25pm Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot, where Nicky Henderson’s Buzz is likely to be a warm order to follow up his impressive course win here last month. At Haydock, the Tommy Whittle handicap chase is sure to be ultra competitive and a thorough test of stamina in the soft ground.
Saturday ITV Racing Tips
Time | Track | Selection | Analysis |
---|---|---|---|
13:50 | ASCOT | GUY | Nigel Twiston-Davies chaser has shaped really well in defeat twice already this season, jumping well given his relative inexperience, and has conditions to suit at Ascot on Saturday. |
14:05 | HAYDOCK | UP FOR PAROL | Jamie Snowden has a cracking team of young horses to go to battle with this winter, and his unexposed novice can revive after disappointing over fences last time out. |
14:25 | ASCOT | BUZZ | Nicky Henderson’s progressive hurdler was really impressive when winning here at the last meeting, and that form got a major boost when the third ho,e Guard Your Dreams won the International Hurdle at Cheltenham. |
14:40 | HAYDOCK | VINTAGE CLOUDS | Sue Smith’s runners have hot form in the past few weeks, with most just needing a run or two to reach peak fitness, and this reliable stayer has conditions to suit at Haydock on Saturday (with the 5lb claimer Theo Gillard booked a plus). |
15:00 | ASCOT | CLOTH CAP | Jonjo O’Neill’s chaser ran a lot better than the bare result when sixth behind Cloudy Glen at Newbury last time out (blundered at the wrong time), and should now be spot on fitness-wise after two runs this season. |
15:35 | ASCOT | WEST CORK | Dan Skelton’s lightly raced performer landed quite a touch when returning from a long absence in November, and can defy a lenient rise up the weights under Harry Skelton. |
