Turn on the Tap and watch the winnings flow.
TILE TAPPER (3.00) lines up for the Boulton Group Midlands Grand National and he looks to have a great chance of lifting Uttoxeter’s biggest prize.
He kicked off this season by chasing home useful Shakem Up’Arry at Exeter before filling the same position behind Remastered in a decent handicap at Kempton’s Christmas meeting.
There was a huge amount to like about the way he battled back up the stiff Carlisle to finish to see off Destiny Is All having been headed on the run-in last time out.
This marathon race is more than a mile longer and everything points to Chris Honour’s stable star improving for the step up in distance. Have 2pts each-way at 16-1. Several bookies are paying out on six places.
BLACKJACK MAGIC (3.35) appreciated the return to 3m when breaking his chase duck at the second attempt.
It was also his second start since joining trainer Anthony Honeyball and he looks particularly progressive.
The hood he wore for his previous trainer has been discarded and that seems to have given him a nice boost, as it often does.
He is at his best on testing ground, so conditions will be in his favour, and this looks an ideal race for him. Have 2pts to win at 8-1.
There’s a decent card at Kempton, where YORKSEA (2.05) is the best bet for in-form trainer Gary Moore.
He shapes like he is going to love the step up in trip to 2m5f for the first time having shown promising form since arriving from France last season.
His third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Knight Salute on his British debut was a splendid effort and he has kicked on this season.
His brace of Fontwell wins marked him down as a lovely prospect and he ran a cracker to finish fourth behind Aucunrisque in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury last month.
It was even better than it looked as 2m on fast ground did not suit him and he tried to come from much further back than ideal. Have 3pts to win at 6-1.
