Saturday's Horse Racing Tips: January 8th

Today’s Racing Tips – January 8th

There are 8 live races on ITV on Saturday, with competitive jumps action from Sandown and Wincanton. The Grade 1 Tolworth hurdle is the highlight of the day at 2.25pm, with testing ground expected and stamina sure to be at a premium up the stamina sapping hill. There are four televised handicaps at Wincanton, which is a sharp right handed track that is all about speed.

Saturday ITV Racing Tips

Time	Track	Selection	Analysis
13:30	WINCANTON	MIDNIGHT CALLISTO	Anthony Honeyball’s mare has been running herself fit this winter, improving last time to finish second at Taunton, and she will relish the emphasis on speed round here.
13:50	SANDOWN	GUNSIGHT RIDGE	Olly Murphy’s unexposed young chaser has shaped really well twice over fences this winter, with his latest effort when second at Exeter well franked by the winner going in twice since.
14:05	WINCANTON	ANOTHER CRICK	Noel Williams handicapper needed the run when a remote third at Leicester on his seasonal debut last month, and this drop back in trip to two miles should suit ideally dropping down slightly in class.
14:26	SANDOWN	CONSITUTION HILL	Nicky Henderson’s ex-pointer made a deeply impressive Rules debut over this course and distance in December, cruising clear from a useful rival in Might I, and he is confidently expected to handle this step up to Grade 1 company under Nico de Boinville.
14:40	WINCANTON	EARTH BUSINESS	Colin Tizzard’s unexposed 6-y-o remains open to improvement after just five runs over hurdles, and he will relish this drop back to 2m5f after getting very tired over three miles here last time out.
15:00	SANDOWN	DANCING SHADOW	Victor Dartnall’s handicapper is a freegoing frontrunner who jumps well when allowed to dominate, and he has shown in two recent wins (including over this course and distance), that he is primed to strike from this kind of mark.
15:15	WINCANTON	KILLER CLOWN	Emma Lavelle’s handicapper has shaped better than the bare result on both runs so far this winter, and he will relish the expected better ground conditions at Wincanton on Saturday.
15:35	SANDOWN	HERMES BOY	Jane Williams novice impressed when getting off the mark over hurdles at Exeter last time (form been well franked since by the third Dubrovnik Harry), and he looks let in lightly for this handicap debut.
