Timeform Radio Racing Tips: Back Value and make a Wedge

Timeform Radio Tip / Terry Norman / 27 January 2012 / Leave a Comment

Friday Value at Fontwell?

"Rateable Value’s only victory came over today’s course and distance and, importantly, he has form on today’s heavy ground."

The names of today's selections are certainly promising and Terry Norman can offer sound reasons for backing them...

Rateable Value (14:00 Fontwell) has the ideal opportunity to regain winning form this afternoon for excellent claimer Brendan Powell.

Colin Tizzard's son of Classic Cliche drops to this Class 5 level for the first time in his chasing career. He has dropped below his last winning mark and has Powell taking off a valuable 5lbs.
Additionally, Rateable Value's only victory came over today's course and distance and, importantly, he has form on today's heavy ground. Tizzard has also added a tongue-tie for the first time.

There is not a lot to chose between Musical Wedge and Pingaro De La Vire (3.40 Huntingdon) on their Towcester form but on this flatter terrain I prefer the former. The pair finished second and third when they met two runs back over 2m 6f . On that occasion Musical Wedge travelled the better while his rival was outpaced and struggling.

Pingaro De La Vivre rallied up the hill and finished just over a length behind his rival. They meet on the same terms but I expect Clare Dyson's gelding (who didn't stay 25f under top weight on his latest start at Towcester), to confirm form on this sharper track.
