2.53 Wincanton – LORD ACCORD (1pt win – 3/1 generally)
Neil Mulholland’s LORD ACCORD tends to perform best in the warmer months when he’s more likely to encounter his preferred good or faster going, recording form figures in the May to October period of 1111314P431 (6-11) for a profit of £19.33 to a £1 level stake at SP. From November to April his record reads U762213P5296P956 (1-16) for a loss of £13.00. The nine-year-old confirmed his wellbeing with a 16-length romp in handicap hurdle company at Sedgefield 24 days ago, despite racing on unsuitably slow ground. Wincanton seems to avoided the rainfall that has affected most of the UK – the going is officially good, good to firm in places on the chase course – and the return to fences will suit.

4.03 Wincanton – DIPLOMATIE (1pt win – 3/1 generally)
I always back Harry Derham’s stable switchers – horses he takes over from other trainers – and plenty collapse into very short odds before winning. That wasn’t the case with DIPLOMATIE at Warwick a fortnight ago, who drifted from 10-1 to 14-1 before finishing a three-quarters of a length third under owner/rider Victoria Malzard. Long-suffering readers/viewers of my waffle for GG.co.uk will recall the same jockey riding Kansas City Chief to victory at 20-1 in a Pertemps Qualifier at Cheltenham back in October 2021 (I tipped him on Weekend Watch – like and subscribe on YouTube if you haven’t already) and that was the race I had in mind for the six-year-old mare. Perhaps she’ll still run at Cheltenham, but she lines up here in a very winnable race on her favoured quick ground and I can’t resist an interest.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – Unlucky Horses & Eyecatchers are Over-Bet Next Time & Should be Avoided
Unlucky horses in-running are so often put into tracker immediately to try and find some value on them next time out. However, Andrew Mount analyses whether such horses take up too much of the market, and whether your bets are better placed elsewhere. For several years I wrote a weekly Eyecatchers column for GG.co.uk and…
