The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson bids to follow a 5-1 winner with three tips from Cheltenham and Newcastle on Saturday

Reporter

Three horses to include in a treble on Saturday . . .


East India Dock (12.35 Cheltenham)

East India Dock, rated 89 on the Flat, made an instant impact on his hurdling debut when seeing off Hot Fuss (rated 88 on the Flat) by four lengths at Wincanton last month. He jumped well on the whole and stayed on strongly after the last and this half-brother to the useful Burdett Road could make into a nice juvenile hurdler for the same yard. The Gredleys won this last year and in 2019 (Allmankind).

Hamsiyann (3.30 Cheltenham)

Hamsiyann wasn't sighted in two hurdles starts in Ireland on a testing surface but showed much more in two British starts, notably producing a much-improved effort on good ground on his handicap debut. He was staying on strongly in that race before being squeezed out by the front pair, so the effort is worth marking up, and he followed that with a fine effort in the Chester Plate, finishing second when trying to concede 13lb to stablemate and subsequent Northumberland Vase and Cesarewitch winner Alphonse Le Grande. He's rated 91 in that sphere, so his mark of 111 looks workable, and going up in trip on good ground can only help his cause.

Mon Na Slieve (4.48 Newcastle)

Kevin Ryan switches Mon Na Slieve to the all-weather for the first time for a 5f handicap. He's not won since his debut last year, but he looks well handicapped on the majority of his form and this is by far the weakest race he has tackled, while there is hope he'll thrive on the surface, given he's by Exceed And Excel out of mare whose best efforts came on synthetics (four wins).
