Tuesday Lucky 15 Tips: Strong attraction at Sedgefield

Tuesday's Lucky 15 is drawn from a couple of races in Ireland, and a brace from Sedgefield in County Durham. Decent Tuesday fare, with action overall coming from Tramore, Southwell, and Sedgefield.

Here's today's selections;

Prices can of course fluctuate between publishing our pieces and race-time. As a guide, a £0.50p win Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four were successful, would return around £206 for your total £7.50 stake.

12.15 Sedgefield - Coup De Coeur @ 11/4

Coup De Coeur seems to have lots of meanings when translated from French to English but a common theme is a strong admiration, affection. A bit of a crush. A favourite.

Micky Hammond's 5yr-old gelding is likely to be second favourite today but let's hope he's riding high in our estimations at around 12.20 this afternoon. Cute little novice hurdle this, and we have a penalised runner in previous scorer What A Johnny, representing the powerful Olly Murphy/Sean Bowen combo.

Coup De Coeur was acquired by the trainer from France in October and of his two subsequent runs the last, here 19 days ago, was the most promising (close-up third). Returning to the scene, he's every chance of breaking his duck. Champ Brian Hughes has been booked - a definite plus.

13.30 Tramore - Mitiva @ 15/8

Those famous, glittering green and gold hoops of owner JP McManus, and an improving, lightly-raced 5-yr-old mare in the care of trainer Liz Doyle.

Good performance last time at Thurles, beaten 3l in a similar contest, and popped up 2lb accordingly by the ever-watchful handicapper. Won her bumper on debut in Feb '22 under the excellent Jody Townend but has yet to taste success over hurdles. Bright chance of putting that right today.

13.50 Sedgefield - Guillaume @ 5/2

Bran Hughes is in the plate once again, this time for his main patron Donald McCain. Guillaume is a 6-yr-old gelded son of the mighty staying champion Yeats, and this former point winner ran well at Donny 11 days ago after an absence of some 217 days.

He had wind surgery at the beginning of the year and I hope after that last highly-promising outing connections are beginning to get to know the key to him. This is a very modest event and let's hope he's been found a winnable heat to boost confidence and get his career on track.

It's his third chase today and back in April he had a spin over these very obstacles, achieving a place.

15.00 Tramore - King's Halo @ 3/1

Back to Ireland for our last leg - and one of my favourite jockeys.

Danny Mullins calls legendary Willie of the same surname 'uncle,' which is no great drawback to success in this sport; but the fella's a top pilot in my book. He rides here for trainer James Dullea, and was on board last time when beaten just a neck in a similar affair at Clonmel.

The handicapper has sneaked in and raised the horse 3lb as a result, but here we are, 19 days later, and a reproduction of that last effort will surely see him go very close.

King's Glory is by another magnificent flat racehorse, Fame And Glory, who himself was a son of the mighty Montjeu. Talk about being bred in the purple - let's hope this chap draws on that quality this afternoon and shows his pedigree where it matters.
