Angus McNae: My top horse racing tips for Sunday

Angus McNae: My top horse racing tips for Sunday

By Angus McNae
Last Updated: Tue 5 Dec 2023
A Happy New Year to you all. I hope this column can find plenty of winners throughout 2022 and that you enjoy reading my thoughts. I have four selections on Sunday to get the ball rolling.
1.00 Naas: Blue Lord at 8-11 with William Hill
I cannot ignore any Willie Mullins-trained horses with the yard in sparkling form and thus, even at a short price, Blue Lord warrants support.
Placed in Grade One hurdles last season, he made a successful start to his career over fences and there is more improvement to come. He won easily at Fairyhouse on his chasing debut, jumping soundly and sauntering home. This looks to be an ideal stepping stone to Graded stakes.
1.35 Naas: Gevrey at 4-1 with William Hill
This horse has uncapped potential now he is handicapping. He didn’t show much over hurdles but, sent chasing, has shown enough under a couple of considerate rides to suggests that he can win in this grade. A mark of 119 gives him a great chance in this low-grade handicap and Davy Russell, the “Galvinator”, gets on board for the first time over fences . The combination are worth a punt in a modest contest.
Ginto can stay on a roll (Pic: Focusonracing)
2.10 Naas : Ginto at 9-2 with BetVictor and SkyBet
Gordon Elliott has a fine record in this Grade One race. He has won three of the past five renewals and looks likely to take it again with either Hollow Games or my selection Ginto.
Ginto thrashed Eric Bloodaxe in a good time last time out and the runner-up has subsequently gone on to win a Grade Two at Limerick. Not only did Ginto bolt up there, but he did it while showing obvious inexperience. He comes up against a progressive stable companion but Ginto has much better timefigures to his name and must be the selection here.
2.30 Ayr: Wakool at 3-1 with William Hill
Wakool is a most progressive individual and his improvement has not stopped yet. His past two wins have come in facile fashion at Musselburgh and I am backing him to go in again here. He deserves extra credit for storming clear last time out, where he was held up off a modest gallop and is clearly well ahead of his mark. He makes plenty of appeal to go in again and continue his progression.

Jeremy Scott: Golden Ace primed to defend Unibet Champion Hurdle crown | Racing TV

Jeremy Scott speaks to the team at Unibet ahead of Golden Ace's attempt to defend her crown in the Unibet Champion Hurdle at next month's Cheltenham Festival. A remarkable winner of the two-mile Grade One event last season, the eight-year-old backed that up with an equally dramatic win in the Grade One Fighting Fifth Hurdle, before chasing home Sir Gino in the Christmas Hurdle on her latest start. Scott is relishing a return to Prestbury Park with his stable star and reflects on last year's win, along with her preparation for the 2026 renewal. He also reflects upon some of the horses that have played a big part in his career to this point, including Melodic Rendezvous and Dashel Drasher. #cheltenhamfestival #horseracing Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

Will Constitution Hill win at Southwell tomorrow? ❓

One of the great Jump horses of the modern era was cantering when falling four out in last year’s Champion Hurdle, plus was going easily when hitting the deck two out at Aintree the following month. And he was just warming up when coming down early on at Newcastle in November. His feet will not have to leave the ground in the SBK Road To Cheltenham Novice Stakes at Southwell on Friday night, so in theory all he’s got to do is keep that massive engine of his purring along for 12 furlongs, with four-time champion jockey Oisin Murphy doing the steering.
