Henderson and McCoy at Huntingdon

5 low level meetings today, including 3 on the all-weather, and the best racing is at the N.H.meeting at Huntingdon. Nicky Henderson and Tony McCoy look the team to follow here, with My Tent or Yours in the novice hurdle at 14.20, Malt Master in the novice chase an hour later, and Glorious Twelfth in the maiden hurdle all likely to start at very short odds. Of course we have seen plenty of hot favourites beaten in recent days, but these 3 must all have a very strong chance, in particular My Tent or Yours, who was beaten at odds-on by a stable companion at Newbury last time, but is still regarded as a Cheltenham candidate. From the point of view of value, our two bets at longer odds here are Kahsabelle (Venetia Williams/ Harry Challoiner) in the opening conditional jockeys handicap hurdle, and Gee Dee Nen (Gary and Jamie Moore) in the handicap chase at 14.50. Both are on a long losing run but are now on a nice weight and in each case the opposition is not too strong.
The other jumps meeting at Sedgefield has some very poor fields. One we like here is oldtimer Oniz Tiptoes (JS Wainwright/ Brian Harding) in the 3 miles 3 furlongs handicap hurdle at 14.40. He runs his best races over this CD and won this race last year off the same rating.
The most interesting flat race in our opinion is the 1 1/2 mile maiden at Lingfield at14.30. Harleston Wood (Paul Hedger/ Adam Kirby) has some quite decent form when trianmed by the now-retired John Dunlop, but the two to concentrate on are Lidar (Alan King/ Fergus Sweeney) and Megastar (Gary Moore/ George Baker). both multiple NH winners. Megastar is actually having his first ever race on the flat at the age of 8, so we give slight preference to Lidar, who has shown good winning form in bumpers, over hurdles and over fences.
