So, here are our best Feb 2nd horse racing betting tips. There’s plenty for followers of UK and Irish horse racing to concentrate on this weekend with Saturday’s schedule packed with graded contests; this includes the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Chase due off at 2.25pm around Sandown. A talented field is expected, and punters are spoilt for choice with no shortage of value on offer; however, we’re taking our quest for profits to Ireland.

A simply superb day of racing takes place at Leopardstown where a six-leg card hosts no less than four Grade 1 races, fought out between 12.50pm and 3.45pm. A real treat for followers of the sport and we have drafted in our team of experts to help you profit from the occasion.

Ladbrokes Dublin Chase

This year’s Ladbrokes Dublin Chase is scheduled for a 1.25pm start time; the current field is made up of 15 runners, although that will surely be whittled down between now and the final declarations. If you’re confident your pick will not only run in the race but go on to win it, you can beat the queues and secure an early slice of value by betting on the ante-post market. Oddsmakers have laid out their book and offer Footpad as their 6/4 favourite – offered at market best price by Unibet, most of the competition stuck around the 5/4 mark.

Willie Mullins’ star seven-year-old arrives at course with a CV boasting eight wins and five placed efforts from 17 starts; he was last seen collecting silver in December around Leopardstown when contesting the 2m 1f Sugar Paddy Chase. Footpad found only one too good that day in 16/1 shot Simply Ned and backers may be reluctant to trust again so soon, remembering he went off an even money jolly before failing to live up to expectations. He has now failed to win in his last two, that runner-up spot following a fall at Naas in the Poplar Square Chase.

Min Easier to Back

One who looks a little easier to back is fans’ favourite Min who has been chalked up as a 7/4 second favourite, top price with Unibet. Another from the star-studded Mullins string, the eight-year-old gelding won on his most recent start when showing rivals the way home in the Grace 1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase on 9 December. He saw off the challenge of Shattered Love by 1 ½ lengths. That instantly caught the eye of punters.

Ruby Walsh sat in the saddle that day and the pair did the business off an SP even-money favourite, proving themselves trustworthy. He’s not the pick of traders for this one; however, they seem keen to keep on the right side of him and we make Min worth a bet. Other names of interest on the list are Simply Ned 9/1, Special Tiara 20/1 and A Toi Phil 50/1 if they go.

Our Tip: Min to win – 7/4 at Unibet
