Alan Kelly's Tips - Tuesday, 11 November
Tuesday’s horse racing action features four jumps cards, Huntingdon, Lingfield and Hereford in Britain and Fairyhouse in Ireland.
1:52pm Lingfield - Git Maker
This Challenger Stayers’ Hurdle Series Qualifier may rest between two stables which have made an excellent start to the present campaign, those of Jamie Snowden and Olly Murphy, the horses in question being GIT MAKER and Ikarak, with slight preference for the former.
Back over hurdles following some creditable efforts over the bigger obstacles, in particular when 3rd of 26 in last year’s Scottish Grand National, Git Maker is 3 from 5 over hurdles and runs off a mark of 125, 8lb lower than the nine-year-old’s chase rating of 133.
The mount of 3lb claimer Joe Anderson won a handicap chase here two years ago following a break of 300 days, and with the stable going so well, Git Maker is unlikely to fail through lack of fitness on his first start since finishing 12th in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival.
Ikarak has won two of his five starts since leaving the Anthony Charlton stable for that of Olly Murphy (pulled-up over fences at Aintree) and can give Git Maker most to do racing off a mark only 3lb higher than when winning at Warwick back in January.
Recommendation: Git Maker - 11/2 with bet365
2:01pm Huntingdon - Goodbyemick (Each-Way)
Having tipped Max Comley’s GOODBYEMICK (Each-Way) at a big price for a handicap hurdle at Warwick last week, the seven-year-old was supported into 9/2 prior to finishing 4th of the 8 runners, beaten just under 8 lengths. I thought David Bass’s mount would improve for a step-up in trip following that run, the son of Fairly Ransom now switched to fences and over an extra half a mile.
Goodbyemick made his debut over fences when 6th of 14 in an Irish hunter chase back in January when trained by John Gleeson before joining Comely two months later. The grey has plenty of experience in point-to-points however and looks fairly treated off an opening chase mark of 85.
Similar tactics worked with the stable’s Bebside Banter recently, and in a race which shouldn’t take much winning, Goodbyemick gets the each-way vote once again, although no prices are available as I write. The Gary & Josh Moore-trained Rip Wheeler makes his chasing debut following a narrow defeat in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon in April and this lightly-raced five-year-old is the other one to consider if fit enough on his first start for over 6 months.
Recommendation: Goodbyemick (Each-Way) - 81/ with bet365 (3 places)
3:20pm Hereford - On The Go (Nap)
This will be the second outing over hurdles for James Owen’s top weight Lunar Power since the seven-year-old left the stable of Donald McCain in September, the gelding narrowly beaten on two occasions during the summer, on the flat at Thirsk and Musselburgh.
The mount of 3lb claimer Nathan Howie is well handicapped with a rating of 112 based on his victory off a 17lb higher mark at Ballinrobe in Ireland when trained by Noel Meade back in 2023. Owen has a good record with this type of horse and any significant market move for the son of Power should be taken seriously.
Neil Mulholland’s Of Course You Can came back to something like her best when winning a handicap at Ludlow last month, a course where the daughter of Yeats is at her best. However, I think this is a good opportunity for Charlie Longsdon’s ON THE GO (Nap) to open his account over hurdles at the 7th attempt.
The lightly-raced five-year-old has improved with each of his six runs over the smaller obstacles, most recently when not beaten far in third place at Huntingdon last month. The combination of today’s extra two furlongs trip and the 7lb claim of rider Daire McConville (rode a winner for the stable at Newbury last week) gives On The Go a great chance of taking this Class 4 contest.
Recommendation: On The Go (Nap) - 3/1 with bet365
