The Punt Acca: Charlie Huggins' two horse racing tips at Wincanton on Thursday

Two horses to include in a multiple on Thursday . . .

Lord Accord (2.53 Wincanton)

Chased home Frodon off a 13lb higher mark in the Badger Beer Handicap Chase over this course and distance in 2022. The nine-year-old secured a confidence-boosting 16-length win over hurdles at Sedgefield last time and although he beat only one rival on his last start at this track and trip in February, there is substance to that form. The runner-up, Manothepeople, won a better race in a bigger field at Cheltenham on 7lb worse terms on his next start and the fourth, Fidux, also obliged on his next outing. The third-placed Copperhead has won twice since, including in a valuable event at Chepstow last Friday. Lord Accord is 4lb lower than that run here and represents trainer Neil Mulholland, who won Market Rasen's feature race on Tuesday before saddling another winner at Worcester on Wednesday.

Ballynaheer (5.15 Wincanton)

Chased home Royal Infantry, a subsequent Listed winner who ran at the Cheltenham Festival for Dan Skelton, in a point-to-point at Edgcote in April last year. The five-year-old made all to win by seven lengths over hurdles at Huntingdon in April before making a promising reappearance and chasing debut at Uttoxeter last time. That staying-on third-placed effort came after wind surgery and this extra furlong should suit the son of Mahler. The majority of Ballynaheer's trainer David Dennis's string have been making the frame in the last fortnight and he could gain the yard a deserved victory here.
