Will our backs win and our lays lose?
"Any further cut in the ground would only be a bonus and punters are clearly confident that The Red Laird can land the spoils today."
For today's Follow The Money market movers we go to the cards at Catterick and Plumpton
We start today's tips with the 14:40 class 4 3m1f Handicap hurdle at Catterick, where solid support has been registered for The Red Laird moving from [10.5] in to [6.8]. A good win at Warwick on New Year's Eve, coupled with his record going left-handed (two wins and two places from seven runs as opposed to 0-0-4 right-handed) makes for interesting reading, along with his record of 1 win and 1 place from 2 runs at this distance. Any further cut in the ground would only be a bonus and punters are clearly confident that The Red Laird can land the spoils today.
We move on to the 15:20 2m Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton where Oscar Close has been all the rage in early trading moving in from [6.0] in to [4.2]. He has shown glimpses of good form at around this distance, and the ground conditions are unlikely to be a problem. It could be also be significant that early morning favourite Beau Lake has been drifting dramatically with punters happy to side with something else today.
Our lay of the day is to be found back at Catterick in the 16:10 Beginners Chase where Silent Cliche is apparently friendless having drifted out to [3.15] from [2.26]. Silent Cliche was a faller in his last race when odds-on (though excuses can be found in that he was hampered at the fence) but his jumping before that fall, however, had looked slightly suspect. Backers obviously feel that he isn't one they want to put their trust in at skinny prices today. It may also be worth noting that good support has been registered for Wolf Moon and Hommage A Bach at bigger prices.
Recommendations:
Back The Red Laird @ [6.8] Catterick 14:40
Back Oscar Close @ [4.2] Plumpton 15:20
Lay Silent Cliche @ [3.15] Catterick 16:10

You know the drill: two recommended backs and one recommended lay based on early price movements. FTM boys, over to you....
The FTM boys give us their usual two backs and a lay......
