Lucky 15 Tips: Buick to make a Point at Yarmouth
There is lots of racing action to sample on Monday, with no fewer than six meetings comprising 46 races taking place across the UK and Ireland.
National Hunt racing is from Stratford and Fairyhouse, while they race on the level at Pontefract, Yarmouth and Killarney in the afternoon as well as on the all-weather at Wolverhampton in the evening. Monday's Lucky 15 selections take in four selections from across the UK cards.
Lucky 15 Tips - Monday, October 7
14:42 Stratford – Only Fools @ 7/1
David Pipe saddles ONLY FOOLS in the Recycling Association Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at Stratford over two miles and six-furlongs and the Pond House handler can land the prize.
His five-year-old won at Newton Abbot (2m5½f, good) in July off a mark of 87, his third win over hurdles since arriving from France 16 months previous.
He has generally been consistent in this sort of grade and perhaps was not aided when making the running at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) only 12 days later as he faded to finish third.
He's undergone a wind operation since, should be suited going back up in trip and remains on a feasible mark while he has Gearoid Harney taking 6lb in the saddle too.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
14:50 Yarmouth – Cardinal Point @ 5/1
Champion jockey William Buick has a 25 per cent strike-rate at Yarmouth across the last five seasons and a healthy profit of +41.87 to a level stake.
He has a decent book of rides on Monday, including CARDINAL POINT for Charlie Appleby and Godolphin in the Fillies' Novice Stakes over a mile.
The Dubawi filly was turned over on debut in a match at Southwell last month, unable to go and pick up Andrew Balding's Secret Of Love after being led around.
That rival had picked up invaluable experience in a hot Newmarket maiden on her own debut and Cardinal Point should leave that debut effort well behind in a more conventional race now.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
15:02 Pontefract – Retracement @ 9/4
Some very competitive fare from Pontefract includes the Leslie Burton (Fisher) Handicap over a mile, a contest in which Kevin Scott's Epidavros is going for a hat-trick after wins at Carlisle and Hamilton last month.
The daughter of Magna Grecia has been well on top in both cases and may go well again, but she is 3lb higher now in a stronger race and her patient racing style might not pay off here.
William Haggas saddles handicap debutant RETRACEMENT in the Simon Munir and Isaac Suede silks and this Australia gelding won his maiden over C&D in July in good style on second start, racing prominently and going clear late on.
He was favourite in a Goodwood novice (1m2f, good) last month but didn't relish the track or the longer trip and, back at a bare mile, is fancied to improve again from an opening mark of 82.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
18:30 Wolverhampton – Motabaah @ 7/1
The Richard Hannon-trained MOTABAAH is open to progression in the 7f Fillies' Novice Stakes on the evening card at Dunstall Park.
The daughter of Mohaather debuted in a maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in August and was midfield, facing what likely was a thankless opening task in light of the winner subsequently taking a Group 3 win at Ayr on her next start while the runner-up also scored next time.
Hannon's filly, meanwhile, caught the eye amid traffic problems when finishing fifth in a Kempton novice over this trip three weeks ago and is fancied to build significantly on that effort.
