Andy Holding's Friday Racing Tips

BECKWITH PLACE (best price 6-1) hasn't won in over a year, but he's certainly been knocking on the door lately and safe in the knowledge that he tends to save most of his best efforts for today's track, Tracey Collins' gelding should be rewarded in some way of your efforts.

In third place on his first performance at the Co Kildare venue in May 2019, the Master Craftsman's son subsequently reached 224 places in three more visits, and with the last of these performances a better run than today, 26 days ago. , a slight softness in the degree could be the relief you need. That said, it's worth noting that he's managed to finish ahead of those lured by the unfavorable close side of the track and has also done particularly well on rough terrain in the past, this strong and imposing looking five-year-old is in store for another solid display. .

Potentially some useful fillies on display in this above average looking damsel who caught the eye here on her debut. SPLIT PASSION (best price 7-4) to get votes to develop this extremely promising effort.

Widest of all at 28 days, Ger Lyons stayed there and had plenty of time to recover in the early stages, but as a result he ended up coming home in last place. Holding on strong from that juncture, the daughter of Fascinating Rock faced rival after rival, so at the end of the line she was only two ahead, including Allagar with 93 points. As this filly has a lot of natural talent and is now attracting more favorably on her return visit, a cleaner break and better starting track position should result in a more positive end product.

Ado McGuinness has had a tremendous season with a string of fantastic results from every point of the compass and seems to have a full grip on this listed award sending both LAUGH FOR A MINUTE (best price 4-1) and one of its most recent acquisitions, Harry's Bar, to publish with major claims.

Despite the high possibility that Harry's Bar will become an instant hit at the Co Lough headquarters, the latter at least already has confirmed track form and its overall profile today suggests an all-weather surface. it might be the best thing for him. As usual, he was a bit late getting out of the gates here last week, which left him with a lot to encounter along the way, but to his great credit, he made it home in such a way that he managed to end up in the skirts. of the main players.

The first thing to note is that Keenland is a very sharp track so he's going to need a well balanced guy with plenty of pace to hold his own through the first corner and Ralph Beckett's gelding certainly seems to have those traits in abundance. The way he traveled before sprinting to seal the deal in the Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster (very fast time number) marked him out as a rapidly evolving two-year-old and ultimately proved that winning the effort does not it was by chance. with equally resounding success at Group 2 Royal Lodge in Newmarket. A keen hobbyist with a sharp bend to stay on the commercial side, the son of New Bay has posted the kind of speed numbers and closing sections that suggest he's got too many strings on his bow and already has to resort to the nastiest cut. All in all, one gets the feeling that today will be his 2.000 Guineas and he will have prepared properly.
