Raceline Tip of the Day - 15th February

Friday 15th February

LIBERTY COURT

Sandown 4.05 WIN

The switch to handicap company could be just what Tim Vaughan’s six-year-old novice hurdler needs to pick up a long-overdue first victory of the season. For on the form of his timber debut at Fakenham in December, when he finished within a length of Ericht, a smart sort from the Nicky Henderson yard, giving him 10lb, he is well in here on a mark of 117, even though he must shoulder joint top-weight. Forget his last run because he got involved in an unnecessary, protracted duel from some way out with the favourite, which resulted in neither winning. And don’t worry if today’s race develops into a stamina test on deep ground up the Sandown hill because he’s already won over 3m in an Irish point-to-point.
