Lucky 15 Tips: Four worth your Money on Sunday

There's three meetings down for decision in Britain and Ireland on Sunday, with cards at Fontwell, Sedgefield and Naas.

I've picked out four fancies to form Sunday's Lucky 15 tips, featuring a Cheltenham Festival hopeful in action on the other side of the Irish Sea.

13:00 Naas - American Money @ 12/1

Eddie and Patrick Harty have wasted no time in sending AMERICAN MONEY into handicap chases and the eight-year-old can take this 2m4f novice event.

American Money was a progressive handicap hurdler last term, landing two races at this track on soft ground, and showed promise on his first start over fences at Navan in December despite being pulled up.

He was up there for much of the way before fading in that top beginners’ chase landed by Ile Atlantique, and the trip may have been a little sharp over 2m at Fairyhouse 10 days ago. Expect better from him here off a 7lb lower chase mark.

14:30 Naas - Dancing City @ 8/15

The Grade 3 novice chase at Naas has been weakened with the absence of Martin Pipe winner Better Days Ahead among the final declarations, but it still sees a decent contest between Dancing City and Bioluminescence.

Preference is for DANCING CITY, last season’s leading staying novice hurdler who picked up three Grade 1s. His chief rival’s 8lb penalty makes her task tougher.

Dancing City looked good on his chasing debut at Punchestown last month and will have learned plenty from that. He took a couple of runs to get going last term and it would be no surprise if the same happened this campaign. All roads will lead to the spring festivals and he can enhance his Brown Advisory claims.

15:30 Naas - Hartur D'arc @ 9/2

HARTUR D’ARC has been set some tough assignments over fences this season, having contested the Paddy Power Gold Cup, Silver Cup and Paddy Power Chase on his past three outings.

Jumping issues have surfaced in those races and it is no surprise to see connections exploring a switch back to hurdles in this 2m2½f contest.

This is vastly weaker company for Hartur D’arc, who is rated 24lb lower in this sphere. He has improved plenty over fences since joining the excellent Gavin Cromwell and this will be his first hurdles start for the yard. He can brush these rivals aside before stepping back up in class.

15:50 Fontwell - Grove Road @ 11/4

James Owen can do little wrong and he has already conjured two hurdles victories out of GROVE ROAD since the nine-year-old entered his care. It seems only a matter of time before he breaks his duck over fences for Owen and that can happen in the 3m3½f marathon at Fontwell.

Following the productive hurdles spell, Grove Road almost picked up a 3m handicap chase for Owen at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve, doing little wrong to go down by a head behind a lightly raced youngster.

He has a bigger performance in him over fences and this stiffer test of stamina should play to his strengths. Callum Pritchard retains the ride and his 7lb claim continues to prove a useful tool.

As a guide, a £0.50p win Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the quoted prices, return around £547 for your total £7.50 stake if all four selections won.
