Horse racing tips: Sedgefield, Huntingdon, Chelmsford and Southwell – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for the racing this Thursday, February 22
Steve Mullen guides you through Thursday's racing at Sedgefield, Chelmsford, Huntingdon and Southwell
HUNTINGDON
RED ADMIRABLE likes a flat track so was never likely to show his best at Towcester last time out. He was far from disgraced in sixth there on the back of a gutsy win at Taunton.
He’s just 4lb higher in the weights for that and is right at home over this distance.
2.20
WORLD PREMIER is worth another chance after something went amiss on his hurdling debut at Newbury.
He has been given the best part of three months to get over that and he showed lots of promise when winning his bumper at Warwick. He is nicely bred and any market support would be interesting.
2.55
WALSINGHAM GRANGE is nudging up the ratings but has been in cracking form with a second at Wetherby followed by a good win at Bangor last time out.
He’s at his best over this distance and won’t mind the cut in the ground.
3.30
ALBERTA came back from more than a year off to score well at Kempton last time and has strong claims to follow up. He’s up a fair 6lb for that success in similar ground to today.
There’s always a slight risk that he won’t be able to match that comeback but he’d go very close if he does.

ANTARTICA DE THAIX won this race 12 months ago and can repeat the feat. She’s been pretty quiet this season but showed promising signs when second at Leicester last time out.
This drop back in trip helps and conditions will suit.
4.40
MUST HAVE A FLUTTER got the job done really nicely at Market Rasen last time, scooting in by 10 lengths. That was over a similar trip in similar ground so a 7lb penalty shouldn’t be too much of a concern.
5.15
VOIE DANS VOIE looks much the pick of these having finished a good second at Towcester last time out. He wasn’t stopping over 2m3f there so this extra furlong should be right up his street.
