Newsboy’s horseracing tips for Monday’s three meetings, including Exeter Nap
Share:
AS THE FELLA SAYS (2.08, Nap) is fancied to get off the mark over hurdles in the Dr Peter Hennis Maiden Hurdle at Exeter on Monday. The six-year-old cost £60,000 after winning an Irish Point-to-Point in May and he made a decent start to his hurdling career for Nicky Henderson when runner-up over 2m5f at Warwick last month. The son of Soldier Of Fortune rode a bit too keen under Nico de Boinville and weakened late on, finishing seven and a half lengths behind hot favourite I'm A Lumberjack. My selection should appreciate this stiff 2m1f trip and is sure to come on for his Rules debut.
At Wolverhampton, the consistent. AMAYSMONT (8.00 nb) can take the Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap. The Kevin Frost-trained eight-year-old has only been out of the first four once in six races - and even then he was fifth of 12 at Southwell, beaten only one and a quarter lengths over six furlongs in mid-December. Last time out, the son of Mayson was a respectable fourth of 11 at Southwell, again over six furlongs, when running on late. The gelding has proved more effective over Monday's distance of seven furlongs and won over course and distance in September. He should be thereabouts in the hands of Jack Mitchell.
