- Chepstow and Fontwell Horse Racing Betting Tips for January 8
Horse racing tips for the races at Chepstow and Fontwell expect to see a number of top runners having heavy competition for the win.
Horse racing action in the United Kingdom on January 8 will see the involvement of venues like Chepstow and Fontwell. Horse racing tips regularly see these courses featured heavily in the calendar, and it is not surprising given their unique aspects. Their constant presence on the racing scene means that they are also accompanied by plenty of horse racing betting interest.
Chepstow
Located in South East Wales, one of the reasons of Chepstow being heavily involved throughout the calendar year, is its ability to host flat and jump races. Even though it was initially formed as a flat course, it has become hugely influential in major races like Grand National. Grade 1 Finale Juvenile Hurdle, though, is the biggest event to attract a considerable amount of horse betting interest in the region.
A number of Class 4 events are scheduled at Chepstow today. It may not be the highflying Grade 1 action, but it is expected to provide reasonable racing action and bet online interest. The Bathwick Tyres Novices' Hurdle at 14:00 may be an event with plenty of betting interest. Runners like Constantine Bay carry a lot of good form coming into the event. The left-handed, undulating track is rated as soft for the events. Even though it is not a proper galloping course, the undulations in the track make it essential to back a horse with a lot of stamina in the horse racing odds.
Going is soft-heavy in places.
14:00 - GAYEBURY won at Ffos Las on November 18 after a 279-day break. Trainer Evan Williams did a very good job as his form is improving constantly. Fly Camp is probably his main rival here.
14:30 - TWO SMOKIN BARRELS won at Wetherby on December 27 and again at the same racecourse on December 3. The 8-year-old bay mare trained by M Scudamore goes against Ballyrock and Towering, two of the favourites.
15:00 - POPPY KAY returned to running in October after almost a year and kicked off with a fourth place at Uttoxeter on October 18 followed by a surprising victory at the same racecourse on November 20. Bobble Boru is another great name that can change the outcome.
15:30 - FLAMING CHARMER won at Exeter on December 15. The 9-year-old chestnut gelding goes against Virnon and After Hours.
Fontwell
Fontwell hosts National Hunt races throughout the year, but the highlight of this course will be the upcoming Grade 2 National Spirit Handicap Hurdle. This event will take place in late February, but for the time being focus will be on races like the Garside Handicap Hurdle at 14:40. Since there are no clear favourites for winning in the best odds, it is likely that Kilgeel Hill is one of the potential candidates for success.
The Joseph Soar Handicap Chase at 15:10 may also be a good choice for betting with a Bishops Court great candidate according to the latest horse racing betting tips. Just like at Chepstow, the track will be soft for today’s events.
Going is soft.
14:10 - THE CHUCKMEISTER won at Fontwell on December 6. Bull and Bush is another notable runner.
14:40 - SPACE ODDITY won at Exeter on January 1. The 6-year-old bay gelding goes against Royal Plaza and is one of the favourites here.
