Charlie McCann's Tips - Tuesday, 10 November
1:40pm Huntingdon - Teorie (Nap)
A market move for Irish import U Asking Me, having his first start for Daisy Hitchens, would be significant, as she used to train TEORIE (Nap), who is having just his second start for James Owen.
U Asking Me has his optimum conditions and reverts to hurdles, having disappointed over the larger obstacles for Eoin Doyle. It is over two years since the nine-year-old won, but he is fairly treated for his British debut.
Bread And Butter has the best recent form on offer, finishing second at Plumpton, but the winner did little for the form – albeit on softer ground – at Sandown on Sunday.
Teorie went out like a light at Stratford over 2m2f on his first start for Owen last month and, interestingly for a stayer on the flat, his two hurdle successes – both for Fergal O’Brien - have been over the minimum trip.
Teorie was rated 113 when second for Hitchens over 2m5f off a mark of 113 at Newton Abbot last May – Robbie David did take off 7lbs – yet can race from ninety-four this afternoon back up to 2m4f for a yard with a history of rejuvenating and improving new imports.
The six-year-old was well supported at Stratford but backpedalled quickly from the top of the home straight, having jumped and travelled well to that point. Today’s additional two-and-a-half furlongs should suit, and he does look potentially thrown in given that was his first start for six months and he is entitled to strip fitter. He was rated eighty on the flat in his pomp, although he has not run to that level for two years.
Owen has had another twenty-four days to work with the six-year-old, and this looks an excellent opportunity.
Recommendation: Teorie (Nap) - 7/4 with bet365
This is Charlie's Nap of the Day selection - see how it stacks up against Alan Kelly's pick too.
2:40pm Huntingdon - Cap Ricochet
A big run from Fern Hill earlier in the card would be a boost to the chance of Helios Allen in the 2m4f+ handicap chase, given he is 6lbs better off with CAP RICOCHET for the four-and-a-half lengths he was behind the winner at Market Rasen on his penultimate start.
Ben Case is a streaky trainer, but they have not had a winner in their last fifteen starts, although they had one beaten less than a length – significantly under Johnny Burke – at Wetherby at the end of October.
Eastern Shores makes her chase debut, and this winning pointer should improve for the switch to the larger obstacles for Fergal O’Brien. The mare was rated 103 when finishing second over hurdles over the minimum trip back in February when she gave every indication she would appreciate a stiffer test of stamina. She makes her chase debut from a mark of ninety today following a series of disappointing efforts, but chasing could see her in a different light.
I thought Cap Ricochet was good value for the neck he had at the line at marker Rasen when he had a subsequent winner back in second. He has been raised 6lbs for that narrow success, but he is unbeaten in two chase starts and good ground is imperative.
Brian Hughes has been in the plate for both chase wins at Market Rasen, and this five-year-old looks the reason the former champion jockey makes the journey south.
Recommendation: Cap Ricochet - Evens with bet365

3:50pm Lingfield - Rebel Tribesman
D’Jolo Dela Barriere is 5lbs higher than when scoring at Hexham on his reappearance last month, but he remains fairly treated on his best form and receives weight from his five rivals. He looks sure to give a good account, but preference is for the recent Wetherby winner REBEL TRIBESMAN, who has been raised 3lbs for that success when he rallied bravely over a trip – 2m3f+ - on the sharp side.
I thought that Wetherby success was a good performance given the second and third both looked fairly treated and the winning time was exceptionally good. I thought a 3lbs rise was fair for a hurdler who has been a model of consistency and has not been out of the first three in eight starts for the Jamie Snowden yard. Good ground is the key to the five-year-old, and the hope is that he can gain a fourth win since May.
Recommendation: Rebel Tribesman - 11/8 with bet365
