Value Bets – Friday September 20th

James Boyle

Published: September 20, 2019

Having developed an interest in racing whilst in college some years ago, James has worked in many areas of the industry, including a stint hiding his face on radio! From 2008 until 2017, he ran a successful tipping service and has had shares in numerous horses including the wonderful Fast Shot. Unsurprisingly given some of the horses he has bought shares in, his punting passions lie in sprint handicaps on both the turf and All-Weather surfaces!

Horse Racing tipster James Boyle has picked out two Value Bets for Friday’s action.

2:55 Newbury – Separate – 1pt win @ 14/1

SEPARATE was one of the Ebor Festival selections when tackling a hotter nursery than this and I thought she ran quite an encouraging race, unable to go the early gallop before seeing out the final stages strongly. That came over 6f in first-time blinkers (retained) and now she gets a crack at a furlong further. On breeding and the visual impression of her last two starts, it should suit. The yard have won three of the four renewals of this also and James Doyle is obviously a positive booking.

3:45 Ayr – Shallow Hal – 1pt win @ 16/1

In a typically open edition of the Bronze Cup, SHALLOW HAL can go well. The 3-year-old has got top weight to defy but comfortably won a C&D nursery at this meeting last year and coming back here, albeit to race on contrasting ground, could help him to bounce back. He ran well enough in a £100k York handicap when last seen in June and a gelding operation since then might bring about some improvement. He’s also drawn close to the near rail and could have been targeted at this.
