I always try to find the value in a race. I analyse Handicaps carefully and most my selections will be at double figure odds. However the most important thing is to have fun making and listening or seeing your selection running. Winners are just a pleasurable bonus.

Ice Opera

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

Tatum

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

15:25 3:25 Plumpton

Ez Tiger

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Win

Of the outsiders, EzTiger and Mi Sueno are of interest. Both have been course and distance winners this year, but a preference is given to the selection as his recent record is better, and connections have a fine record at Plumpton.

Vovatia

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Vovatia is making her handicap debut. She competed in much more competitive races without making an impact. This is a significant drop in competition, and she could surprise now at this level.

20:00 USA Grand Prix

Max Verstappen - Yes

Podium Finish

50 WIN

@1.50

Win

This is a safe bet. Max Verstappen is looking for a four-timer here at Austin. However, Lando Norris and his car are in great shape, so another battle between the two is predicted.

25 EW

Akecheta

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@11.00

@23.00

Void

Vestigia beat Aketcheta by a neck at Roscommon at the beginning of September. He followed it up with a 6th place at Limerick a month ago. He had excuses that day as he was hampered when leaving the stalls. He should have a chance to redeem himself now on more favourable ground conditions.

16:25 4:25 Limerick

The Dasher Conway

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

The Dasher Conway's last win was at Kilbeggan in May. He has since run well in defeat and could bounce back and hit the frame again. Each way possibilities.

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Lucky Viv was pulled up at Clonmel 17 days ago. She could have a chance if back in form after her previous win at Ballinrobe back in August. That was on soft ground, and she should be happier now being upped in trip again.

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

Beauzon

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

17:30 5:30 Wolverhampton

Harbour Vision

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Win

Harbour Vision's last win was over course and distance in March. That totals his tally of four course and distance wins, and he should be thereabouts again if the mood takes him. Each way pretender.

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

16:35 4:35 Ascot

Star Of Orion

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@34.00

Lose

-50

In a wide-open race, Sir Busker would be of interest among the outsiders, but due to the ground conditions, he is not comfortable on heavy ground. So, a chance is taken on Star Of Orion, who has run well since joining his new stable without winning. His most recent run was over 7 furlongs here a fortnight ago, where he placed 5th, 7 lengths behind the leader, out of 18. He is stepping back up in trip and should be considered for the frame.

16:25 4:25 Limerick

Harveyshonor

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

Harveyshonor placed fourth out of 15 at Roscommon three weeks ago. That was after a break, and he should have come on for that run. Now, he has the chance to break his maiden tag.

Edergoles Angel

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

King Thistle is of interest but may be too high in the weights. So, a chance is taken on Edergoes Angel, who was just 1 1/4 lengths behind King Thistle at the Curragh at the end of August. Could well get involved at a nice price.

15:30 3:30 Haydock

Count DOrsay

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Count D'Orsay is an inconsistent sort who placed last at Ripon three weeks ago. He has had two wins this year, both at Chester, and has the ability to get involved if so minded. So, each way possibilities.

Dazy Mazy

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@12.00

Lose

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

25 EW

@29.00

18:30 6:30 Southwell

Ticktyboo

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Of the outsiders, Ticktyboo is of interest. He placed last of 13 at York latest, but is now being dropped in class. This is only his second attempt on the All Weather, so he could go well.

17:10 5:10 Chelmsford City

Angel Mac

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

With the stable in reasonable form, a chance is taken that Angel Mac may further improve on her handicap debut. She placed 8th of 12 over the course fourteen days ago, but is now upped in trip which may suit her.

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Win

Gegenpressing

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50
