TODAYS TIPS (FRIDAY)

Liam Hall heads across multiple meetings this Friday and pinpoints a handful of runners not to ignore. 13:10 CATTERICK

An open looking Juvenile hurdle where the likely favourite Square d'Alboni should take all the beating here with Harry Skelton taking over the steering, made a pleasing debut when third last time behind a smart looking Triumph Hurdle contender, this lad also holds an entry in the Triumph and should be winning this. Newcomers Hellion, Shamsat and Prettylady should be fighting out for the placings. 

SQUARE D'ALBONI (WIN) 

13:40 CATTERICK

Always A Reason was a nice winner last time out, up 5lb here but this looks to be an improver and should be too strong for this field, sharper track here is the only concern but it'd be disappointing to see him get turned over here. Zero Tolerance looks to be the main danger but will likely find second place his best possible placing

ALWAYS A REASON (WIN) 

14:10 CATTERICK

This looks a contest between the two Phil Kirby runners, Achnamara is a course and distance winner off this handicap mark which means he should be going close once again. Devon Skies pulled up last time when up in grade, should find things a bit easier in this contest but the ground remains a concern. Avalon Beach looks capable but he did look a non stayer on both attempts over 2 mile 4f so he could be vulnerable again over this trip. 

ACHNAMARA (WIN) 

15:43 DUNDALK

Una Matata looks to be all the rage in this claimer, been knocking on the door of late in handicaps, a win and three placings since joining the yard and Sam Coen takes off a handy 7lb, Tortola showed a bit more last time and could be making the frame for an in form stable. 

UNA MATATA (WIN) 

TORTOLA (E/W) 

18:45 DUNDALK

Beat The Devil was a disappointing favourite last time out but was only beaten 1.5 lengths, had shown to be on the up so hopefully he can get back on track here for Sam Coen claiming off the 7lb, Nibras Rainbow looks to be coming back into form and is likely to not be far away. 

BEAT THE DEVIL (WIN) 

NIBRAS RAINBOW (E/W) 

20:30 WOLVERHAMPTON

Sam's Hope comes here in the hunt for a three timer and should be a likely contender once again. The same can be said for Ziggy's Queen who won two runs back and was second last time out, is a hold up horse so does need a bit of luck in running. Water Of Leith came back to form last time when finishing second, talented apprentice claims 5lb off her and that could be that difference here.
