Tuesday’s best bets, by Tony Paley
Today’s jumps fixtures take place in mild, generally dreek conditions and at Southwell the testing ground will be very much to the liking of Who You For (1.45), who will be in his element if he is involved in a stamina test.
The lightly raced Capilla (3.00) has the scope to make a chaser and ran with promise on just his third outing over fences at Ffos Las last time out. He is the one to be on in the Bet and Watch Titanbet Handicap Chase at Lingfield.
The 32red.com Nursery Handicap, a Class Two, is the best Flat race on the card at Wolverhampton, and Art Collection (3.40) is an interesting bet at around 5-1 to reverse recent Chelmsford form with Sun’Aq. The selection has half a length to find with Sun’Aq, who came out on top in a well-run five-furlong contest, and is 2lb better off at the weights.
That alone gives him a fair chance to go one better today, but it is also significant that their rematch comes at six furlongs rather than five. Art Collection was putting his best work at the end last time out, and was previously a winner over six furlongs on turf at Windsor, again in a race run in a good time.
