Thursday horse racing tips

  • WETHERBY
    4.10: Woodland Park 9/4 (1pt)
  • LUDLOW
    2.07: Ballycamus 7/2 (1pt)

Woodland Park

Incredibly consistent hurdler over 2m and 2m4f so going up to 3m must be coming from trainer Olly Murphy’s confidence in going up in trip.

This seven-year-old is a Walk In The Park gelding and should thrive over 3m as we’ve seen with other horses with similar pedigree.

Jockey Sean Bowen is on fire too with 16 winners from 55 runs in the last two weeks, lots of encouraging points to a 9/4 shot.

Ballycamus

Secured his fifth victory over fences over course and distance in December and was only raised 1lb.

Comes into this in strong form having only been seen in bigger fields in his previous two races, of which both came at Cheltenham where he seemed to struggle up in class and then on heavy ground.

Otherwise though, looks much better facing this field especially after winning so presents a good price.

Rockinastorm has been nudged back in the weights though, to where he’s now 1lb below his mark when winning here in November 2024.

Hard to back given his last three runs though and Ballycamus is favourite for a variety of reasons.
