ITV Racing Tips for Today - Friday 20th February

ITV Racing are live from Southwell showing seven races on Friday night on ITV4 featuring the highly anticipated flat debut of Champion Hurdle winner Constitution Hill. With a £40k novice stakes being the highlight, there's some competitive handicap action to get stuck into too. We've gone through all the live races to pick out our tips and selections for the evening.

Pleasant Man 15/2

Has fallen to an attractive looking handicap mark having been running over a few different trips recently and seemingly not staying over 14 to 16.5 furlongs. Eased back in grade and trip now off a very workable looking rating off 71. The Joey Ramsden yard is operating at an eye-catching 29% Strike rate recently.

DC Cogent 15/2

Dropped in the weights to a very workable looking 69 and ran well over C+D on his penultimate start to be a close 2nd despite not getting a clear run. Returned off a short break at Newcastle last time out when a fancied favourite, finishing 3rd. That effort will have sharpened him up and he’s well enough handicapped to win a race at this level.

Cajetan 9/1

His form began to tail off on the turf last summer after some decent efforts on the all weather last winter but he returned to a synthetic surface at Wolverhampton 17 days ago with a much improved effort to be a narrowly beaten 3rd. Retains the same mark as for that run and is on his last winning mark of 82. Well treated and back on his preferred surface.

Unassuming 9/1

Has been running in strong races as of late and wasn’t disgraced in 5th in a deep handicap at Kempton 16 days ago. Has been eased down 1lbs in the weights for that effort and looks to have found a slightly easier assignment here. A previous C+D winner who was knocking on the door in similar contests last winter, she lines up too well handicapped to ignore.

Gambino 11/1

This looks more likely to go to a genuine flat horse than the national Hunt horses involved and Dan Skelton sends a previous flat winner or this. Scoring over 9.5 furlongs in a maiden before coming 2nd in a handicap to a decent rival who placed in a Group Three Subsequently and the 3rd came out and won the Irish Cesarewitch. Returns off a break but will have the speed needed for this test before going over hurdles for the Skeltons.

Juan Les Pins 11/2

Shaped well on his two recent runs on the all-weather to be 3rd at both Newcastle and Southwell, not beaten far either time. Eases backed in grade from his last run and has had 1lbs shaved off his rating. Given a decent break of 38 days, he looks primed for a big run.

Madame De Sevigne 9/1

Looks to be screaming out for this drop in trip to 7 furlongs after wilting late in her last few efforts over a mile, running well but just finding her stamina giving way in the final stages. Lines up competitively handicapped, off the back of a break and notably with Oisin Murphy booked in the saddle. Will relish this test of speed.
