Horse of the Day

Our daily racing pick heads to Towcester on Wednesday looking for a hattrick after 5/2 and 11/4 (BOG) winners on Monday and Tuesday.

We're backing Grand Introduction in the second race on the card - the 2:40pm - who comes here fresh from a win in a chase here over both course and distance just over a week ago. He has been hit with a 7lb penalty for that win, but given the six length margin it's hardly unreasonable. This is a step up in class, but he should handle it for his performance last time out.

Trainer Fergal O'Brien is enjoying some lovely form right now, with 6 winners from 12 over the past two weeks, and an excellent National Hunt handicap record over the past five years (17% ROI on all his runners over a sample of 839 runners!).

This one ticks all the right boxes, and Paddy Power's 5/2 looks too long here, while there is plenty of 9/4 about as well.
