Hereford each-way racing tip: Do You Think ready to ask questions of market leaders
Hereford goes ahead
Our friends at Planet Sport Bet are the major sponsors of Monday’s meeting at Hereford, and they’ve picked a bumper National Hunt card chock full of decent betting opportunities.
14:20 Hereford: Racing Specialists Every Day at PlanetSportBet Mares’ Handicap Chase (3 miles 1 furlong)
Three morning withdrawals have reduced the field to eight mares, leaving Harry’s Hottie perched somewhat precariously at the top of the betting market.
She joins joint-bottom-weight Sadie Hill in having a 14-pound advantage over the rest of the field, and that might be a telling factor over three testing miles.
There are plenty of others in with a shout, however, with challenges likely to come from Shirocco’s Dream, who won on her chase debut in February, along with the promising My Girl Katie, who is expected to build on her first effort over larger obstacles at Chepstow 24 days ago.

However, our Tipstrr representative, Richard Hutchinson, who runs his Read Between The Lines tipster service on the site, believes that Do You Think could be ready to pounce under the seven-pound allowance of in-form claimer Dylan Whelan.
Trainer Emma Lavelle suffered a virus in her yard last year and after Christmas last year had a terrible run of form, but she appears to have turned the corner now and the yard has been in sparkling form.
Do You Think won this race last year, but her form tailed off in line with Lavelle’s stable, so it’s safe to assume she also suffered ill effects from the virus.
She was last seen at Ffo Las six months ago, when she was in touch until unseating her rider three out, which might just have done her a favour here, as her mark has dropped a pound to 102, just five pounds above last year's winning mark.
Today’s good ground might be on the fast side for our seven-year-old, but it was only good/soft last year so she might get away with it.
Worst case scenario is that she might just get tapped for toe at the business end but still be in with a chance, and she certainly appears worthy of an each-way play at 7/1 or better.
Suggested bet: Do You Think each-way in the 14:20 at Hereford
