Neil Morrice shares all of his best bets and tips for Wednesday’s racing coming your way from Haydock park, Lingfield Park and Kempton Park on 01 December 2021.
HAYDOCK PARK
Race 1 No4 MACHO MOVER
Trainer: Olly Murphy – Jockey: Lewis Stones
MACHO MOVER has done well for new connections with a win and three places in as many starts both over hurdles and on the all-weather. After powering home in a humble seller he’s consolidated with narrow defeats in handicaps at Stratford and Market Rasen, form which marks him out as the one to be on in the opener.
Race 2 No3 DEDANSER
Trainer: Donald McCain Jnr – Jockey: Brian Hughes
Stepping up to what should prove a more suitable distance, DEDANSER can endorse the well being of his stable in underfoot conditions that will suit. The former Irish pointer was noted doing his best work at the finish on debut for McCain at Carlisle, and is going to know more now.
Race 5 No7 BLAKLION (Each Way)
Trainer: Dan Skelton – Jockey: Harry Skelton
BLAKLION ran much better than the form book gives him credit for when just out of the money in the competitive heat won by Snow Leopardess at Bangor. From an unpromising position well off the pace he progressed to get into contention, only to tire over the final couple of fences. It was a run that will have sharpened up this strong stayer, who can show he is still a force to be reckoned with.
Race 6 No2 GOOBINATOR (Nap)
Trainer: Donald McCain Jnr – Jockey: Brian Hughes
Although GOOBINATOR’s form dropped away last jump season he more than redeemed himself with victories on the Flat at York and Haydock. His fourth to Buzz in the Cesarewitch was an even better effort, and having made an uncharacteristic exit back over hurdles at Bangor he can bounce back.
LINGFIELD PARK
Race 2 No3 BONITA B (Each Way)
Trainer: Mick Channon – Jockey: Darragh Keenan
BONITA B wasn’t herself when putting in a rare poor showing on her final start of last Flat season at Yarmouth. Aside from that she made earning performances a regularity, and from the rail and fresh from a well earned break she can again be competitive in this end of year nursery.
Race 6 No4 EQUAL SHARE (Nap)
Trainer: Sir Michael Stoute – Jockey: Richard Kingscote
Best bet on this card is EQUAL SHARE, a daughter of Australia who picked up the pieces when the birds had flown on her Salisbury introduction back in September. The outer draw is a potential thorn in her side, but over a mile her pilot has time to get her into the main pack before making her greater experience count in the short home straight.
KEMPTON PARK
Race 2 No11 BLUEBELL WAY (Each Way)
Trainer: Mick Channon – Jockey: Thore Hammer Hansen
BLUEBELL WAY’s best form happened when she began competing in handicaps to yield figures of 82214. The Sixties Icon filly enjoys a handy weight concession from the majority of her foes and is also well berthed to obtain a good position at the start.
Race 6 No5 MAFIA POWER (Each Way)
Trainer: Richard Hannon – Jockey: Rossa Ryan
Consistency is the watchword of MAFIA POWER, who deserves to experience the rub of the green. It’s taking him an eternity to build on his sole career success of 18 months ago, as 13 places from sixteen subsequent outings graphically illustrates, but taking stock of his likely starting price he remains a value proposition.
