Monday horse betting tips: Two Commanders heads the day at Wolverhampton

Monday horse betting tips: Two Commanders is our strongest selection

Our predictor’s strongest selection of the day is Two Commanders in the 5:00 at Wolverhampton, the day’s feature race. The three-year-old gelding is 11/4 with Billy Loughnane booked, has won over the trip, and comes from Edward Bethell, whose stable has 5 winners from 17 runners (29%) in the last 14 days.

We should be straight about the price. Our figures make him an 18% chance against the market’s 20%, so he is rated fair rather than value. He is the selection we rate most likely to win, clear by 1.6 points in our figures, not a bet that beats the odds.

Racing tips today: the card, meeting by meeting

There are 30 UK races on Monday, split across Plumpton (7 races), Southwell (6), Wolverhampton (9) and Chelmsford (8).

The feature is the All Weather Championship Is Back Handicap Stakes, a Class 4 over 7f36y on Standard going, with nine runners and £4,972 to the winner. Two Commanders is our lead selection there.

Plumpton has the jumping, on good ground. Our second strongest selection, Hiero Sport, runs in the 2:00 at 4/1. He has won over the distance, and Alex Hales has 2 winners from 8 runners (25%) in the last 14 days. He is also rated fair rather than value, at 16% to our eyes against the market’s 17%. Two of our value plays follow at 3:00 and 4:00.

The all-weather evening is where most of the value lies: Chelmsford at 4:45 and 7:15, and Wolverhampton at 7:00 and 7:30. Southwell offers no value play, only a runner to oppose.

Value plays: six prices our figures like

These are the horses whose chance, by our figures, is bigger than the odds imply. None is certain. Most are outsiders, so expect losing runs.

Lord Accord, 3:00 Plumpton, 9/1. The 11-year-old has won over the 3m1f157y trip. Neil Mulholland has 3 winners from 15 (20%) lately. The price implies 8.7%; we make it 11%.

Coastal Command, 4:00 Plumpton, 11/1. The case here is the price alone: 7.9% implied against our 10%. Nicky Henderson’s gelding is rated 102 and Nico de Boinville rides, but we found no extra supporting factor.

London Is Blue, 4:45 Chelmsford, 10/1. He has won over 5f, and Robert Cowell has 2 winners from 10 runners (20%) in the last 14 days. The market gives him 6.9%; we say 9.5%.

Sea of Charm, 7:00 Wolverhampton, 12/1. The eight-year-old mare has won at the track, and Rob Hornby rides. At 12/1 the market implies 5.2%; we make it 7.3%, the largest expected return on the list at +35.8%.

Moostar, 7:15 Chelmsford, 12/1. The filly has won over 7f, and James Owen has 13 winners from 56 runners (23%) in the last 14 days. We have her at 8.2% against 6.3% implied.

Jamie Sommers, 7:30 Wolverhampton, 14/1. The filly has won here, and Hollie Doyle takes the ride. There are negatives: David Loughnane has 0 winners from 9 runners (0%) in the last 14 days, and she has been off the track for 136 days. We still make her 7.6% against 6% implied, but she is the shakiest of the six.

Runners to oppose: short prices our figures doubt

Three market leaders look too short to us.

Wosta is 1/2 for the 6:30 at Wolverhampton. That implies 64%; we make her 49%. She is fresh, 21 days since her last run, but that price leaves little margin.

Wedyan won last time (form 21) and is 4/5 for the 6:45 at Chelmsford, among 14 runners. The price implies 51%, and we make her 39%.

Rices Pool is 6/5 for the 2:45 at Southwell. He has won over the distance, but he has been off the track for 205 days and Ben Pauling has 2 winners from 31 runners (6%) in the last 14 days. The price implies 45%; we make it 33%.

How our selections are made

Our racing predictor takes the best available price on each runner with the bookmaker margin removed, then blends it with a form score: 70 per cent market, 30 per cent form. A value play is a horse whose chance in our figures beats the price, and a runner to oppose is one priced shorter than our chance.
