Daily Racing Tips: Benefiting from the Best magic

My Les will be attempting to win for us at Lingfield this afternoon.

"No doubt about the bet of the day, My Les (17:30) absolutely destroyed the field on his last outing, his first for Jim Best. Although that was a seller, he finished some ten lengths clear. Today’s race though, a handicap, is no better than the race at Brighton"

Carl Harris has had a decent last couple of days and is keen to build on that further by showing serious faith in the training skills of Jim Best.


Tuesday is pretty moderate stuff once again, but I'm sure a couple of winners will see me finish the day more enthusiastically than I started it. The cards today provide a full house with flat turf at Yarmouth, an all-weather card at Lingfield and jumping at Exeter. Over the jumps I fancy a double on Tarantino (15:10) and Ballydub (16:10) but the prices will be pretty short and I think there is more value to be had elsewhere, on the flat.

Chain of Office (15:50) was a very nice winner of her maiden at Ffos Las and lines up here in handicap company from a mark of 73. The excellent Richard Hills, who has had a great season, takes the ride for William Haggas. This filly should improve and as such could be well treated and land a quick fire double today.

No doubt about the bet of the day, My Les (17:30) absolutely destroyed the field on his last outing, his first for Jim Best. Although that was a seller, he finished some ten lengths clear. Today's race though, a handicap, is no better than the race at Brighton. Even with a six pounds penalty My Les looks exceptionally well treated. Jim Best has a habit of improving horses that are 'cast off' from other yards and My Les certainly looks another one to benefit from the Best magic. Lets hope he reproduces the Brighton form. If so, he will win easily.
