7:30 Huntingdon Tips

I like the look of BALLINTUBBER BOY here today he has a 100% record,3/3 at Huntington and has been running creditably in recent times.thr handicapper hasn't been overzealous and stable is in fine form. A solid ew

Thank You Ma’am looks the standout on current form and may have found the right opportunity to return to winning ways. Last time out at Warwick Racecourse he went very close in a Class 3 Handicap Hurdle over 3m1f, beaten only a nose off 124 in a competitive 0-130 contest. That followed another strong effort when third in a Class 3 Handicap Hurdle over 3m, beaten 4¼ lengths off 125 in a 0-140. On that occasion Kent De Thaix won, with the 135-rated American Mike in second, making the form look particularly solid. His last success came in a Novice Hurdle at Doncaster Racecourse last season when beating Minella Rescue, who has since progressed to a mark of 133. That suggests he has always possessed the ability to be competitive in stronger company than this. The key factor here is the drop into a 0-125 race, which looks a significant ease in grade compared to the races he has been contesting recently. With proven stamina, solid recent form and conditions likely to suit, Thank You Ma’am looks to hold leading claims and may simply have found the ideal race to get his head back in front.

Gasmani is the form pick in this race. He won at Taunton in April, then followed that up with a second at the same track a couple of weeks later. Can go well again and has an each-way chance.

The top of the market is far too short for a race that will inevitably turn into a slog following the races before it, making it a bog with the forecasted rain. Billy Boy Blue is being majorly overlooked after his poor form as of late. However, the even downpour is exactly what he needs to slow the race down into a war of attrition with the field over a gruelling 3m 1f, which will suit the stayer.
