Saturday’s Horse Racing Tips: Kempton, Uttoxeter, March 18th

Today’s Horse Racing Tips – March 18th
A traditional ITV 7 on Saturday, with the cameras covering the best of the jumping action from Kempton and Uttoxeter. The Midlands Grand National at 3.00pm is sure to be the biggest betting race of the afternoon, with the emphasis very much on stamina over the sapping 4m2f trip. Soft ground is expected after the rain arrived in the build up, and a big field is assured in front of a full house.
In this artice:
Today’s Daily Nap
Stormin Crossgales
Kempton 1:30 (UK time)
Tom George’s progressive performer made a really taking start to chasing when making all of the running at Wincanton in November, jumping superbly under an attacking ride from the front. He has optimum conditions to defy a new mark at Kempton on Saturday, and another attacking ride from Jonathan Burke could soon have these rivals out of their comfort zone at an early stage.
Odds: NA
Today’s Value Angle
Moveit Like Minnie
Kempton 2:05 (UK time)
Nigel Twiston-Davies progressive performer has now won 2 from 9 over hurdles, and this stiffer test of stamina over 2m5f is expected to bring about further improvement under regular claiming rider Finn Lambert.
Odds: NA
Odds are best odds available as at 2am March 18th 2023. Odds may now differ.
ITV Racing Tips – Saturday March 18th
Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
---|---|---|---|
1:30 | Kempton | Stormin Crossgales | Tom George’s progressive performer made a really taking start to chasing when making all of the running at Wincanton in November, jumping superbly under an attacking ride from the front. He has optimum conditions to defy a new mark at Kempton on Saturday, and another attacking ride from Jonathan Burke could soon have these rivals out of their comfort zone at an early stage. |
1:50 | Uttoxeter | Up For Parol | Jamie Snowden’s handicapper has won 3 from 11 over hurdles, and shaped better than the bare result when last seen out at Carlisle in February. He has a touch of class at this level of competition, and a positive ride from Gavin Sheehan can see him bounce back to winning form on testing ground that suits. |
2:05 | Kempton | Moveit Like Minnie | Nigel Twiston-Davies progressive performer has now won 2 from 9 over hurdles, and this stiffer test of stamina over 2m5f is expected to bring about further improvement under regular claiming rider Finn Lambert. |
2:25 | Uttoxeter | Wilde About Oscar | Dan Skelton remans in terrific form, and his 8-y-o should relish the demands on stamina over this near three mile trip. He has shaped well in better races twice this winter, and caught the eye from miles off the pace behind Green Book at Sandown last time out. |
2:40 | Kempton | Mister Fisher | Nicky Henderson’s 9-y-o has been highly tried and basically very disappointing in three runs so far this winter, but he has been freshened up by a short break since Christmas and has been given a chance by the handicapper. He has won 4 from 17 over fences in a varied career, and a true run race over this 2m4f trip should set things up ideally for a late charge. |
3:00 | Uttoxeter | The Galloping Bear | Ben Clarke’s stayer has always shaped as though an extreme test of stamina would suit him ideally over fences, and he certainly gets a chance to prove that theory over 4m2f here on testing ground. He has run with credit in defeat twice already this winter, and remains with a bit of potential after just esix runs over the larger obstacles for his excellent small yard. |
3:35 | Uttoxeter | Gustavian | Anthony Honeyball’s handicapper proved a revelation when given his head from the front at Exeter last time out, racing with zest gunned from the tape, and he can defy a new mark in a better race at Uttoxeter on Saturday. |
