Saturday’s Best Tips
THE LAST SATURDAY BEFORE CHELTENHAM! Racing from Wolverhampton, Sandown, Gowran Park, Ayr, Navan and Chelmsford. Daily Double pays 9/2!
NAP – My best tip of the day
Sandown 3.35 Easy As That (best price 13/8)
Likeable type who jumped much better when opening his account over fences at Haydock back in December; improved again to win impressively at Newcastle last month; up 9lb but more to come yet.
With a strike rate of 5 wins from just 8 starts in all disciplines EASY AS THAT remains a horse to keep firmly on side. He let backers down when beaten in a match at Ffos Las back in November but has done nothing but improve since winning easily at Haydock and then bolting up at Newcastle, jumping notably well. The handicapper has had his say raising him 9lb but he remains unexposed and if he improves again the hat-trick should be on the cards. No Risk Des Flos has won 2 of his last 3 over fences and impressed at Wetherby so up 5lb looks the biggest danger. Lac De Constance hacked up on chase debut at Kempton but then unseated behind Boothill and was stuffed at cramped odds at Exeter so enough to prove. Hudson De Grugy needs to avoid mistakes to have a chance.

NB – My Next or second best tip of the day
MY NEXT BEST RUNS ON THE AW AT WOLVERHAMPTON ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON!
Wolverhampton 2.40 Angel Bleu (best price 3/1)
Smart colt who brought up a hat-trick of wins in the Group 1 Prix Criterium in France over a year ago; handed some stiff tasks since; last seen behind Baaeed at Goodwood; class could shine through.
Given ANGEL BLEU was a dual Group 1 winner as a 2yo I’m expecting him to have too many gears for this field. He has been highly tried in recent times and dropping down to Listed level should get his head back in front now. He obviously has a seven-month lay-off to overcome but he has won fresh before and looks the class angle in the race. The danger could be Dhabab who showed a good attitude to win at Lingfield on reappearance before disappointing at Kempton. Given plenty of time since he should bounce back to form. Berkshire Shadow has been mixing it with some good horses and is another one on return that could run well with Oisin Murphy up. Tinker Toy won this last year but will need to better that Kempton run back in January as he was weakening as the line loomed.
