Our star daily duo Rory Delargy and David Massey mark your card for today's racing and they've got two tips running at Southwell.
Racing betting tips: Thursday December 18
1pt e.w. Sirius White in 13:22 Southwell at 14/1 (bet365 1/5 1,2,3,4) - min 10/1
1pt e.w. He’s An Angel in 16:22 Southwell at 11/1 (Unibet 1/5 1,2,3,4) - min 9/1
13:22 Southwell
SIRIUS WHITE tends to be kept to shorter trips but has won over both 7f and a mile here under today’s pilot, and although last of 10 at Catterick when last seen in October, that run is very easy to forgive as it came on soft ground, which he detested, and it was also without the visor which he seems to need to show his best.
He’s had some time off since then, which is no bad thing as he has three wins to his name after a break, and he’s back on his last winning mark. Plenty to recommend him here.
15:52 Southwell
I’d have liked Grant Tuer to be in better form than he is (45 days and counting since a winner) but bad streaks have to break at some point and I can’t ignore the chances of his Showtime Mahomes dropping into Class 6 company for the first time in a long while.
His recent form is hardly inspiring but it masks some bad luck he’s had in running lately and has shaped a bit better than the bare result. A drop back to five furlongs was against him last time in any case, and this looks a much more suitable task.
He's shortened up in the betting overnight, unfortunately.
16:22 Southwell
Neptune Legend is out again quickly after not getting the best of runs at Lingfield on Monday, asked to do too much too late by Paddy Bradley, that run coming off the back of a win at Wolverhampton.
He’ll be well fancied to regain the winning thread here, but only a length behind him that day was HE'S AN ANGEL, who was making his debut for his new yard, Kevin Frost, and was showing his first semblance of any real form since a win back in February.
He’s fallen from a mark of 72 to 57 in that time and if he can build on that Wolverhampton then this C&D winner has every chance today.
