Today’s Racing Tips – December 28th
Saturday’s ITV action focuses in on Newbury, where the Grade 1 Challow hurdle is the highlight in terms of quality. There is also top class racing from Leopardstown, with the Savills Chase likely to provide some Gold Cup clues for the Cheltenham festival in March.

Today’s Daily Nap
HYMAC
Newbury 2.20 (UK time)
Harry Fry maintains an excellent strike rate every winter, and his unexposed young chaser is expected to relish the decent underfoot conditions expected at Newbury on Saturday. His stamina ebbed up the Cheltenham hill when third over an extended 3m3f last time out (couple of mistakes in rear not helping initially), and this flat track on better ground can see him back on the winning trail under Bryan Carver.
Odds: 6.00
Today’s Value Angle
JIPCOT
Newbury 1.45 (UK time)
Jonjo O’Neill’s handicapper has been easy to back and in need of the run in two sighters so far this winter, but those steady run races did not suit at all and he could be a different proposition now tackling this stronger handicap. This flatter track on decent ground should suit (strong traveller), and he can see them all off under a positive ride from Kielan Woods.
Odds: 9.00
ITV Racing Tips – Saturday December 28th
Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
---|---|---|---|
1:45 | Newbury | JIPCOT | Jonjo O’Neill’s handicapper has been easy to back and in need of the run in two sighters so far this winter, but those steady run races did not suit at all and he could be a different proposition now tackling this stronger handicap. This flatter track on decent ground should suit (strong traveller), and he can see them all off under a positive ride from Kielan Woods. |
2:00 | Leopardstown | HOME BY THE LEE | Joseph O’Brien’s stayer has now won 4 of his 18 career starts over hurdles, and returned to his best form when comfortably taking a Navan Grade 2 in November. He is a thorough relentless stayer at this trip, and a positive ride on the eased ground should make him very hard to pass up the straight. |
2:20 | Newbury | HYMAC | Harry Fry maintains an excellent strike rate every winter, and his unexposed young chaser is expected to relish the decent underfoot conditions expected at Newbury on Saturday. His stamina ebbed up the Cheltenham hill when third over an extended 3m3f last time out (couple of mistakes in rear not helping initially), and this flat track on better ground can see him back on the winning trail under Bryan Carver. |
2:35 | Leopardstown | FACT TO FILE | Wille Mullins very progressive chaser is now 4 from 5 in this sphere, and made a terrific return to the fray when taking the Grade 1 John Durkan at Punchestown in November (showing a tenacious attitude in a tight finish despite thought to just be in need of his first run in eight months). |
2:55 | Newbury | BILL JOYCE | Jonjo O’Neill’s freegoing novice created a deep impression when winning a Sandown Grade 2 earlier in the month, tanking through the race under restraint and remarkably seeing things out strongly up the sapping final climb to home. This better ground and flatter track can see him in an even more positive light now upped in class, and there is plenty more to come after just two starts so far over hurdles. |
3:35 | Newbury | THEFORMISMIGHTY | Dan Skelton has enjoyed a fantastic December, and his unexposed young chaser can defy the handicapper (upped 10lb) by following up his ready Southwell win 25 days ago (very well backed and drew easily clear turning for home). |
