Charlie Huggins’ Three Horse Racing Tips at Plumpton and Warwick on Monday: The Punt Acca

The runner-up, Stay Away Fay, had an impressive performance in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival. Since then, the horse has won both of its starts over fences. Mahons Glory, who finished fifth in the same race, comfortably won a Kempton handicap on Boxing Day. Twig, the sixth-placed horse who was beaten by Park This One, has also seen success with three victories, including Uttoxeter’s valuable Summer Cup. Even Idalko Bihoue, who performed poorly at Doncaster, redeemed itself with a novice handicap chase win at Cheltenham’s October meeting. Park This One, the topweight in this race, has not raced in 359 days, but should benefit from the switch to fences. He had a strong performance in a point-to-point race in November 2021, beating Captain Westie, who has also shown promise with a win under his belt. Park This One has the potential to continue his success in his debut chase.

Nickelforce, who finished behind Top Cloud at Hereford, has faced tough competition. Top Cloud went on to win at Taunton and Ascot and has a higher rating. Nickelforce was also fourth in a race won by Immortal Fame at Doncaster, and Immortal Fame went on to win a more valuable contest at Ascot. Although Nickelforce has been unable to secure a win and has seen a steady increase in weight, trainer Ben Case may have found a more favorable option for him to finally break his winning streak. Birdman Bob, a course winner, should also be respected after finishing second in his last race at this track.

Tea Clipper had a strong performance in the 2021 Coral Cup, finishing in third place. The horse then finished fourth and sixth in the last two runnings of the Ultima, both won by Corach Rambler. Tea Clipper’s last run at the Cheltenham Festival in March is particularly notable as Corach Rambler went on to win the Grand National, the runner-up Fastorslow has won two Grade 1 races since, and the third-placed Monbeg Genius filled the same position in the Coral Gold Cup last month. Tea Clipper, with its impressive track record and past Cheltenham success, is expected to be a strong contender in its first hunter chase at Warwick.

Overall, this race at Warwick often attracts classy competitors, with previous Cheltenham Festival winners like Hazel Hill and Minella Rocco among the previous winners. The recent Cross Country winner, Latenightpass, also adds to the competitive field. Tea Clipper is a fitting candidate and should be a formidable horse to beat in the hunter chase.
