- Racing tips: Today's track and trip looks tailor made for Hystery Bere
Your Own Story finally got a win as Lucinda Russell decided to put him up to a Marathon trip, which has been needed for quite a while, so it was nice to see it pay off.
I think he will be of interest in National races at some point, and any race over 4m would be perfect for him as he wasn't stopping at the line and if he doesn't get hit with too much of an increase by the handicapper, he'll be winning again in a similar race to yesterday.
Sandown 3:35 – Hystery Bere 3/1 (2pt)
It seems strange seeing a Sandown jumps card on a Tuesday, but it's their annual meeting where the Memorial and Military amateurs get a ride. Those contests aren't a betting race for me, as you're dealing with some very below-average riders, but if you think you can find value, crack on.
I think this Class 3 contest is a cracking little race, but it's a shame the early odds available for HYSTERY BERE have disappeared by the early punters, as he was double the price he currently is, but I think he will drift out so I'll be having a play.
This horse has been crying out for a run over 2m 4f. He has raced over it once before, but he didn't give his true showing that day and I think that was due to a hard race, he had the time before, and he didn't really have much time to recover, so can be easily forgiven. But if you look at how he's run at Cheltenham over 2m on two occasions, you've got to think that this trip is what he has been crying out for. He is a horse who races towards the rear, but I think that's because he can't go the gallop over 2m, but when he meets the rising ground he finishes off his races very strong but runs out of track before he gets the chance to reel in those ahead of him.
Sandown is due a bit of rain, but I don't think that will hinder his chances as he ran well on soft last time in a race which on paper was stronger than today. In this race today you probably have a few who are ahead of their handicap mark, but I believe this horse is also ahead of the handicapper now he is over a suitable trip.
