Hereford each-way best bet: Kingston Sunflower looking to defy overpriced odds
Hereford
There’s plenty of competitive races on the Planet Sport Bet-sponsored card at Hereford on Monday afternoon, and few more so than this 12-runner handicap hurdle over two miles.
14:50 Hereford: Best Odds Guaranteed at PlanetSportBet Mares’ Handicap Hurdle (2 miles 53 yards)
If the betting market is a reliable measure, then we should be in for a two-horse race between Bonttay and Puffin Bay, with the former yet to finish outside the first two in eight career starts (five wins), of which the last four have been over obstacles.
Georgi Girl should not be too far away from the action, while Hiconic looks a useful prospect after stringing together some useful numbers (11422) during a productive summer campaign.

Our final nod, however, comes from each-way specialist Richard Hutchinson, who runs Won Two Three Racing Tips on Tipstrr and who believes one of the rank outsiders is overpriced to spring a surprise here.
The six-year-old mare, Kingston Sunflower, was a revelation over hurdles last season, rattling up a hat-trick in novice hurdles, all of them impressive front-running displays which were underpinned by her slick jumping on fast ground.
She remains in the same ownership but moved from Fergal O’Brien to the smaller Ralph J Smith yard.
She had a year off and only returned to action recently in her handicap handicap, but pulled up two out. She was easy to back, and the torrential rainfall throughout the afternoon and during the race itself appeared to work against her.
This was of little surprise coming from the small yard, but she is well worth another try after that pipe-opener and good ground confirmed at Hereford on Monday.
Her mark of 115 is reasonable based upon some of the horses she beat last year, and her current odds of 28/1 look tasty, especially with four places widely available, as she would still appear decent each-way value at half that price.
Suggested bet: Kingston Sunflower each-way in the 14:50 at Hereford
