The 80/20 Bet: Monday, 15:05 Southwell

Southwell is the venue for today's 80/20 bet

Nick is off to the national hunt meeting at Southwell where he fancies a hurdling debutant for today's Win and Place selection...

Today's 80/20 is Houndscourt in the 15.05 at Southwell. This gelding finished a close second to Spoil Me in a bumper at Lingfield in January. He looked the likely winner inside the final furlong, but was collared close home and had to settle for a place.

I think he has ability and could run well at a big price on his hurdles debut. At present he is trading at 15.014/1 on the exchange.
