Racing betting tips: Saturday December 14
1pt win Deploy To Spy in the 3:15 Doncaster at 6/1 (General) – min 5/1
3:15 - Handicap Hurdle 2m128y
DEPLOY TO SPY has won all his completed starts over hurdles and can extend his winning sequence in the concluding handicap. Successful on his handicap bow at Aintree last time, Olly Murphy’s charge impressed with his strength from the final flight having been less fluent than the runner-up throughout the final circuit, while he also lost ground by being kept wide on the track. This course should suit him ideally with the run to the line from the final hurdle taking more getting that is often assumed, and while he does need to improve his speed in the air, that will come with practice, and he appeals as the sort to keep improving.
Altobelli has been put in as favourite but I’m concerned about the form of the Harry Fry Stable, with four of his last ten runners pulling up and very few horses making the track in recent weeks. Altobelli is also engaged in the Ladbrokes Hurdle at Ascot, and the fact that he’s running in this less valuable event hardly smacks of stable confidence.
