Daily Racing Tips: Timeform's three best bets at Wincanton on Sunday

Hacker des Places - 13:07 Wincanton

Hacker des Places was a fairly useful hurdler in France and should take plenty of beating on his British debut, representing the Paul Nicholls yard that has won this race twice since 2015. He was a winner when last seen at Dax in June and should prove capable of making significant progress for his powerful new connections. Stablemate Viroflay disappointed on his yard debut at Kempton last week but still appeals as the pick of the remainder, leaving Iron Heart to complete the shortlist.

Fairway Freddy - 13:42 Wincanton

Fairway Freddy shaped encouragingly on his reappearance and duly confirmed the promise of that effort when opening his account over fences at Kempton last time, asserting on the run-in to win comfortably by two and a half lengths. He remains open to more improvement and is fancied to defy a 7 lb penalty to follow up here. Statuario is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his chasing debut having been ridden too aggressively three weeks ago, while Flagrant Delitiep was progressive over hurdles, including in handicaps.

Oscars Moonshine - 15:27 Wincanton

Oscars Moonshine is thriving at present and rates very much the one to beat here as he seeks a third win in the space of 12 days. He still looked well ahead of his mark when recording his latest success at Exeter on Tuesday, winning by two and three quarter lengths with plenty in hand, and his scope for further improvement makes him very difficult to oppose in his hat-trick bid, especially as most of his 7 lb penalty is offset by Bryan Carver's claim. Frau Georgia and Minella Mojo are feared most of the remainder.
