Horse Racing Tips: Hughie Morrison eyes up victory at Wincanton

Jump racing holds sway across Britain and Ireland on Sunday with four meetings taking place across the afternoon. First off is Aintree before they go at Galway, Wincanton and Wexford.

Among our Sunday fancies is one for trainer Hughie Morrison who is having his first run for the yard and he should be well up to getting off the mark at the first time of asking. Below you can find my Horse Racing Tips for Sunday, October 27.

12:55 Galway - Fillusin @ 14/1

Trainer Gordon Elliott has landed the opening 2m mares' maiden hurdle three times in the last four years and it will be no surprise if FILLUSIN goes off a warm order for the team here with Sam Ewing doing the steering.

The daughter of Malinas won a bumper at Tramore on her debut back in May but has regressed a bit since. She made a satisfactory hurdling debut when third at Fairyhouse this month over 2m, but weakened late on and was beaten by about 15 lengths behind Sansrisk.

Hopefully she can build on that effort now and, if she can, she has a big chance. This stiffer track should hopefully play to her strengths as she looks like she could do with a step up in trip soon.

There's a couple of real dangers in here, so she's going to have to improve, but she's in top hands and might just do that. 

15:15 Wincanton - Quick Draw @ 9/4

Nicky Henderson's QUICK DRAW has an all-or-nothing profile, but when he's on song he's very good and he's taken to land the 3m3f handicap chase in the hands of Nico de Boinville.

Pulled up when last seen at Kempton in May, we know he's much better than that as he won two of his four starts over fences last season, including on his return to action where he bolted up by 15 lengths at Ludlow this time last year over 3m.

Quick Draw enjoys a little bit of ease in the ground but goes well on a sound surface too and this trip should be well within his compass.

He's best caught fresh, so hopefully he's on one of his going days. If he is, he will take all the beating.

Horse Racing Odds

15:52 Wincanton - Eyed @ 7/2

Hughie Morrison as we know is a fantastic Flat trainer, but he's very good at training a jumper too and EYED has to be considered on stable debut off the back of a wind operation and a break.

Formerly with Paul Webber, the son of Kayf Tara ran a shocker at Plumpton when last seen back in May, but he drops into 0-110 company for the first time in his career and won't find a better chance to get back into the winner's enclosure.

He went close off 99 last March and is only 1lb higher in the weights here, so if he's fit and ready to go he is a likely contender.

This is an Extra Place Race, so Betfred will be paying 4 Places (1/5 odds) instead of 3.
