Free Racing Tips - Back for the Jumps!

We’ve been very patient lately but it rebounded on us last week (more of that later) and we’re not making the same mistake again - we’re getting stuck into the Oaks as the bookies have started making concessions.

Both Stan James and Bet365 have gone ‘non-runner, no bet’ and best odds guaranteed on the two Epsom Classics so we’re taking advantage and lumping on Midday for the Oaks (11/2 SJ, 5/1 B365).  

Henry Cecil has the magic touch in this race and his inmate looks an absolute each-way steal at the above prices - we’ll go one point each-way on our four points max. scale.

The filly was staying on in grand style in Lingfield’s recent Oaks trial and looks a certainty for a place at least, given stamina doubts over several rivals.

Sariska is probably the main danger, while a tip-top Rainbow View would be a strong contender, but Midday ticks all the right boxes - even having good course form! 

Our patience was ill-advised last week as we studied long and hard and debated putting up heavy ground horses for the Temple Stakes when there was huge value around (Look Busy and Reverence were among the massively over-priced runners last Tuesday as the going was bound to change with such a wet forecast).

We slipped up there so, be aware, we’ll be stepping up our activity starting with Midday!

While Bet On Horses concentrates more on Flat racing than the jumps, we have to join our sister site Cheltenham Festival Tips in grabbing some Grand National value.

We’ve had our eye on a runner in the race for some time and, as he is getting sustained support for the second time in a week, it’s time to act.

We are advising a 0.5 points each-way bet on State Of Play at 25/1.

In truth, we wanted to hang on a little longer with this bet as withdrawals at the head of the market could lead to State Of Play carrying just over 11 stone on the day - not ideal on the trends - but the 33/1 has gone recently and we can’t let the same happen to the 25s.

Evan Williams’ inmate only falls down on one other key trend and that’s the lack of a recent run - however he won the Hennessy on his seasonal debut in late 2006 and has a touch of class as evidenced by his Charlie Hall success last November.

He ticks all the other boxes and has been laid out for this race by his canny trainer.
