Andrew Mount's Racing Tips

Andrew made a good profit with his buy of BIRDIE BOWERS on Thursday and has two recommended bets/trades on Thursday, July 6th.

HAYDOCK 2.40

ARCTIX FOX won this 1m3.5f handicap 12 months ago and Marcus Tregoning’s mare looks worth a punt to stage a repeat. The seven-year-old, backed from 9-1 into 11-2, was in the process of running a big race at Aintree before falling three out when we last saw her and has been freshened up since. Last year’s win came on soft going but she followed up over 1m6f on good to firm ground, also at Haydock, and the prevailing underfoot conditions won’t bother her. She’s likely to be prominent in a race largely devoid of early pace – I’m hoping/expecting that she’ll sit in second place in the early stages behind likely leader and main danger Bollin Margaret – before taking it up close home. Buy in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Andew Mount's Recommendation: Back ARCTIX FOX in Haydock 2.40

HAYDOCK 4.10

SIGNIFICANTLY won three times on stiff tracks for Karl Burke but is a quirky individual who hasn’t won for two years. Admittedly, he ran well on his debut for Julie Camacho in May, finishing a one-length fourth at 9-1, but showed signs of his old temperament, proving reluctant to load into the stalls. The first-time cheekpieces might not necessarily help the son of Garswood – his sire’s progeny are just two from 50 when fitted with this headgear (winners at 1-4 and 11-4), and his previous flirtations with first-time headgear resulted in a six-length defeat in a visor when 4-7 favourite, a 19^th of 22 in a tongue-tie and an eighth of 15 in a hood. Sell in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market.
