It’s always a good idea to keep one eye on the betting markets as you can learn plenty from doing so. We have you covered on that front with our daily market movers, so you don’t need to worry! Sometimes there’s a market mover that requires special attention however and that’s the case on Monday.
One runner at Wolverhampton has been backed into 5/1 having been as big as 16/1 and the horse in question is making its handicap debut. Why not take a look at our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.
Guildford has had just three starts to date and the three-year-old makes his handicap debut in Wolverhampton’s penultimate race. Jamie Osborne’s three-year-old hasn’t shown a great deal thus far but it’s far too early to give up on him just yet.
He has raced far too keenly over further so the drop back in trip here should be a big help, at least until he learns to settle. This horse is far from the finished article which means he should become more professional as he gains experience and the best is yet to come.
Our tip in this race is Jack Channon’s Carmarthen who appears to provide some serious competition, having gone very close last time out. Lightly raced and progressive, it’s surely only a matter of time before he gets off the mark and we’re expecting a big run.
Guildford is completely unexposed and the switch to handicaps could facilitate significant improvement. An opening mark of 52 is certainly very low and it’ll be a surprise if he can’t progress beyond that.
