Our star daily duo of Rory Delargy and David Massey head to Naas for one selection.
Racing betting tips: Sunday January 25
1pt e.w. Doctor Churchill in the 14:25 Naas at 7/1 (General 1/5 1,2,3,4) – min 6/1
14:25 Naas
Doctor Churchill has come in for support overnight having been put in at as big as 20/1 for this handicap, and that initial price looked too good to be true given he’s best on heavy ground and has ideal conditions with Naas having had 22mm of rain since declarations. He’s also having his first run for Eddie and Patrick Harty, a stable with a proven record of refreshing jaded horses inherited from other yards.
Doctor Churchill won over C&D on his first start for previous trainer Pat Hayes last January having been off the track for 541 days so an absence since running at Punchestown in April is not expected to be a worry. A useful juvenile granted testing ground for Gordon Elliott, Doctor Churchill is 9lb higher than for his latest win, but a stone lower than when at his peak. Cian Cullinan was aboard for his win here last year and can claim a useful 7lb here, which enhances his claims.
