A Mcconnell win and the mince pies are on us!

“A winner three times over course and distance and an encouraging effort after a break suggests that Mcconnell can fire the starting gun for a season of merriment. Get the mince pies in.”

For today’s Follow The Money we go to the meetings at Fakenham and Southwell.

Today’s first bet runs in the 13:30 at Fakenham where Gavroche Gaugain has been a steady drifter all morning, going from [2.42] out to [3.4]. He has just one third place, on heavy ground, to show for his efforts in 11 starts over timber and that record, combined with a fall when making his challenge on his last start, doesn’t make for the most encouraging reading, and punters are looking to take him on today.

It’s on to the fibresand of Southwell for our next selection, where we find Mcconnell has been extremely well backed in the cheerfully named 15:20 class 5 It’s Christmas All Year Round Handicap over one mile. Punters have been filling their wellies all morning, with the selection’s price going from a recession busting [7.0] in to [3.5] making him easily the best backed horse in the race. A winner three times over course and distance and an encouraging effort after a break suggests that Mcconnell can fire the starting gun for a season of merriment. Get the mince pies in.

We go back to Fakenham for our final bet and on a day of Royal good news, with Kate Middleton finally snaring her Prince Charming, the aptly titled 15:30 Prince of Wales Stand Novices Handicap Hurdle over two miles is the source of our final market mover. Trained by the aptly named Neil King, Chalice Welcome has been enthusiastically backed from an early high of [17.0] in to [8.4]. He has, up until today maybe, done all his winning on the Flat, however he ran a cracker in this race to come second from 3lbs higher last year and receiving weight all around he looks to have things in his favour today.

Recommendations:
Lay Gavroche Gaugain @ [3.4] Fakenham 13:30
Back Mcconnell @ [3.5] Southwell 15:20
Back Chalice Welcome @ [8.4] Fakenham 15:30
