Charlie McCann’s Horse Racing Tips For Monday, 22 June - Catterick & Windsor
Charlie heads to Windsor on Monday for his best bet
It's a busy day of racing action in the UK and Ireland, and Charlie McCann is here with his exclusive free horse racing tips - only at FreeBets.com.
4:35pm Catterick - Arrange
Treasure Islands has form figures of 1-2-3 since being stepped up to 2m and looks sure to run a big race, given he is adaptable regarding tactics and might easily dictate his own pace under David Allen.
The mare Valley Of Flowers hinted at a return to form when runner-up at Thirsk over 12f last time. She has yet to win over this 2m trip - all wins circa a mile-and-a-half - but she has run some good races at the distance.
She does, however, remain 1lb above her highest winning mark (67), although she has been rated higher in the past and run well from a mark in the seventies previously.
The other eight-year-old mare in the field, ARRANGE, has a bit to find with Treasure Islands from Thirsk, but was nibbled at in the market (14s from 18s) in what was just her second start since October. She may be ready to peak this afternoon and is 13lbs lower than when scoring over 2m at Haydock in August 2024.
A course winner on soft ground - 10lbs lower today- over 1m6f, the grey goes in all conditions, and she gets the nod in a fascinating little race.
Recommendation: Arrange - 2/1 with bet365
7:50pm Windsor - Edwin Hubble (Nap)
Rumbustious looked to improve for the step up to 12f last time, and Billy Loughnane takes over in the plate for Charlie Johnston, who was anonymous at the Royal meeting. Goodwood is the meeting the yard has, historically, targeted in the past and the stable need another good horse.
The yard are still having their fair share of winners - five in the last fortnight - and this Dubawi colt is a half-brother to four winners and looks the one to beat.
The vote, however, goes to Brian Meehan's top-weight EDWIN HUBBLE (Nap), who was not beaten too far at Sandown in a better race over 10f last time.
He has been dropped 2lbs for the run, and I liked the way he was staying on at the Esher track. I appreciate that Meehan is struggling for winners - 0 from 14 in the last fortnight- but he is too good a trainer to be on the ropes for long.
This inmate has hinted that he needs a test of stamina, and he steps up to 12f for the first time this evening. He is likely to be overlooked in the market given stable form and his last start, but he was only beaten just over five lengths at Sandown on what was his first start since October.
He is entitled to strip fitter for the run, although it was only ten days ago.
Recommendation: Edwin Hubble (Nap) - 6/1 with bet365
