Sunday’s horse racing NAP: Your best bet for today’s racing from Callum Jamieson
Don't miss out on today's best tip across all the cards up and down the land
RAMSES DE TEILLEE was a welcome Saturday winner. He looks tailor made for the Welsh National back at Chepstow later in the month.
The money came for the grey and the Pipe yard look to be one to follow over the next couple of weeks - the string have really hit their stride.
Anyway, on to Sunday and it's BAGS GROOVE (Huntingdon, 12.50) that should keep the ball rolling.
He's taken to fences really well and despite the penalty should be too good for his rivals here.
I'm surprised he's been put in as favourite. I fully expected the bookies to run scared of Nicky Henderson's Thomas Campbell and was hoping for a bit more value in the Groove when I put him up.
But there we go.

Henderson's chance was rated 158 over hurdles but faded away at the end of the last season. His first crack over fences was an unconvincing fourth behind La Bague Au Roi before a battling win at Ludlow to much inferior rivals.
Bags Groove on the other hand has improved for fences - jumping up to a rating of 151 from 145 at his peak over hurdles. In short that's the case.
He took a weak Grade 2 last time and that's my only worry. As mentioned, he scoops a penalty for that, but it's the fact he's yet to really be tested over fences that concerns me.
Elsewhere on Sunday...
My only other bet of the day will be in Huntingdon's feature Peterborough Chase.
RENE'S GIRL (Huntingdon, 2.25) looks a great each way bet to me. I Napped her up last time at Carlisle when she was running a screamer before smahing the last and ruining her chance. That was good form and the galloping track at Huntingdon should suit her down to the ground.
