Our top tip for the 17:10 race at Fakenham is Hidden Fortune, ridden by Harry Skelton and trained by Dan Skelton. This mare is stepping out on the turf under what can be described as ideal conditions with the going being described as 'Good-good to soft in places.' Unfortunately, Hidden Fortune hasn't chalked up any wins in recent races, but this could be the turnaround she needs. Dan Skelton's been pulling decent numbers with a 180-day trainer win rate of about 18%, and coupling that with Harry's 15-day strike rate of 40%, suggests they might just get the job done today. Running against Hidden Fortune is L'amandine, another younger challenger who hasn't made her mark in terms of race wins yet. L'amandine is also racing in conditions that seem to suit her, buoyed by trainer Jamie Snowden's respectable 180-day strike rate of 24%. James Davies in the saddle has shown a slimmer success rate recently, but keeping an eye on this team might not be a bad shout as surprises in racing are par for the course. Now, don't sleep on Crescendo Lady either, who equally has yet to celebrate a win day. With jockey Freddie Gingell and trainer L Horsfall, whose recent form hasn't quite hit high notes with a 180-day training strike rate of just 11%, this team might find the route to victory more challenging. Yet, in racing, anything is possible, and each race is a new opportunity. While Hidden Fortune is our preferred pick for the win, the dynamics of horse racing always leave room for an upset. So, here's to hoping your bets align with the racing gods today! Trot on out there and place your wagers wisely, and remember: when the fun stops, stop!
