JACOBS’ Crackers

SUNDAY SERVICE BURROWS LAD has the look of a well handicapped horse at the moment and he can prove the case by landing the nap at Fontwell (2.40).

He had every chance at the second last in a fair novice hurdle last time out but blundered at the last obstacle and was not given a hard time eventually finishing third.

The step up in distance should be perfect for this former French charge and he can land the bet of the day.

MY KHALEESI does not look the finished article but should be good enough to land the mares’ event for Alan King (right) at 1.10, while BELLAMY can put a below-par run at Sedgefield behind him by landing the maiden hurdle at 3.40.

It is hard to bet against DEATH DUTY in the feature Lawlor’s Hotel Novice Hurdle at Naas (1.50) but a better value wager could be UBALTIQUE off top weight in the Chepstow 3.30.

Donald McCain’s charge has fallen down the ratings to an attractive mark and can see off the consistent After Hours.

Later on, COBOLOBO has the look of a well handicapped horse in the 4.00 and CONSTANTINE BAY can get the money ball rolling for us in the 1.30. THE WEEK AHEAD LIMONATA has not had that many chances for Harry Whittington and she should go close in the 1m 2f handicap tomorrow at Wolverhampton.

Also worth a second glance is old boy ONLY TEN PER CENT in a moderate 6f handicap at Kempton on Wednesday.

The nine-year-old can mow his rivals down in the closing stages of the 6.45 granted a run in the closing stages. ANTE-POST Amazingly we are only two months away from the Cheltenham Festival and I would urge a modest investment on A GENIE IN A BOTTLE for the 4m National Hunt Chase. All this Beneficial gelding does is stay and the top price of 20-1 is way too big.

HOT TO TROT RACING PULSE finally showed some form at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day and a step back to three miles will help him.

And old MAPPIN TIME caught the eye in the big sprint at Southwell.

The veteran finished like a train and another career win looks to be just around the corner.
