Best horse racing tips for today’s action at Catterick, Southwell, Leicester and Chelmsford from Tom Bull
Don't miss out on Tom Bull's best bets at Thursday's meetings
I'M never one to turn down a mixed grill at my local spoons and Thursday is a real mixed bag of goodies.
My New Year's resolution of finding more winners is going strong. Here's hoping for more of the same on Thursday.
Southwell
1.20 Samovar - 432... what comes next, well 1 of course. At least that's the plan anyway.
Those figures are his form figures at Southwell most recently and despite this being a strong little heat by Southwell's standard, I'm hoping for another big run.
Canny Scott Dixon knows what it takes to win here and Samovar looks nicely weighted in this.
Catterick
1.00 Come On Charlie & 1.35 Mistress Massini (double)
A Bully's Bankers first - yes, a double.
The field sizes make Catterick hard work and these two should be far too good for their rivals.
Both are enjoying a good spell and will enjoy the ground better than most.
Bully's Thursday Bankers
Chelmsford 4.45 - Foreign Legion
Leicester 12.35 - Early Du Lemo
Southwell 1.20 - Samovar
Catterick - Come On Charlie & Mistress Massini (Win Double)
Leicester
12.35 Early Du Lemo - Gary Moore's runner was well-punted at Newbury on his return and ran well before tiring to a taking winner.
This is easier and the Moore clan remain in cracking form.
Chelmsford
4.45 Foreign Legion - This horse won't be winning at Royal Ascot but he looks to have found his race here for connections.
He's lightly-raced for this grade and is going as well as ever, finishing a good second here last time.
The step up to a mile is just what he needs.
