Horse racing tips: Moveit can put best foot forward

has very unconvincing form figures for his latest two runs but I think he just needs a reasonable change of luck to prove himself a pretty useful novice chaser. 

He was going just as well as when he unseated three-out at early last month and he is 3lbs better off with that rival now, while  he was desperately unlucky to run out when looking set to beat Imperial Saint - who has scored very impressively since - at last time. 

The cheekpieces have been put back on here in addition to a tongue strap, and hopefully the headgear will have a positive impact because I have little doubt that the talent is there.

has gone up 4lbs in the weights after falling two out and picking up no prize money last time and that is unfortunate for connections, but four-year-old would have won at Bangor otherwise and, providing he is over the fall, it is very likely that his owners and hopefully backers will soon gain compensation. 

Copernic Du Mazet was backed into favourite for that latest race and he will go off favourite again for this modest affair, but the decision to send him over fences early in his career looks a very good one and hopefully this will give him the confidence to progress. 

Ikarak has run very well several times after a break and, given the form of the Olly Murphy yard, it looks likely that he could go very well on this stable debut. 

Ikarak won two modest affairs for Tony Charlton last season before being upped in grade considerably and performing disappointingly. 

The six-year-old has been entered in a 0-120 handicap here - the lowest grade he has ever raced in - and with Sean Bowen booked for the ride I am taking the view that he is ready to run well.
