🧠 Milton's Extra Place System Picks for Jumps Meetings – 25 March 2025

Selections aimed at uncovering value among double-figure outsiders, focusing on course conditions, trainer/jockey form, and overlooked angles. Today’s targets are drawn from carefully profiled low-grade handicap hurdles at Taunton and Hexham—where extra place terms and suspect favourites create ideal value windows.


🔹 14:20 Hexham – Racing To School Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

  • Class 5 | 2m4f | Good to Soft | 11 runners | Sky Bet paying 4 places

🟢 Selection: Cage RattlerEach-Way @ 10/1 (Sky Bet – 4 places)

  • Key Angle: Showed major improvement upped in trip on handicap debut when 3rd at Newcastle; stamina and profile suggest more to come.

  • Trainer Trend: Miss S Forster often improves runners 2nd time in handicaps at Hexham.

  • Timeform: “Took a significant step forward… will surely have a big part to play.”


🔹 14:50 Hexham – Racing To School Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

  • Class 5 | 2m4f | Good to Soft | 10 runners | Sky Bet paying 4 places

🟢 Selection: It's DanEach-Way @ 10/1 (Sky Bet – 4 places)

  • Key Angle: Second after wind surgery last time at Ayr; now better off at weights and steps up to a more suitable trip.

  • Profile Fit: Lightly raced, improving, and ideally suited to Hexham's stiff finish.

  • Timeform: “Performed creditably… one to consider now moving back up in trip.”


🔹 15:05 Taunton – Par Inn Cornwall Mares' Handicap Hurdle

  • Class 5 | 2m7f | Good | 9 runners | Sky Bet paying 4 places

🟢 Selection: Ma Belle NoireEach-Way @ 12/1 (Sky Bet – 4 places)

  • Key Angle: Triple hurdle winner in 2023; now drops in class off a workable mark with a 7lb claimer.

  • Improvement Signals: First run since December; lightly raced this season but conditions suit.

  • Timeform: “Disappointing since… but drops in grade and can't be ruled out.”


🔹 15:35 Taunton – Cillas Cottage 1955 Winner Handicap Hurdle

  • Class 5 | 2m | Good | 14 runners | Sky Bet paying 5 places

🟢 Selection: OpticalityEach-Way @ 16/1 (Sky Bet – 5 places)

  • Key Angle: Returning to hurdles off career-low mark; placed over C&D last season and won on the Flat.

  • Trainer Trend: Tim Vaughan often targets these low-grade hurdles off breaks.

  • Timeform: “Not discounted back hurdling off a reduced mark.”


🧠 Final Thoughts

These selections are not about guesswork or chasing price alone—each has a clear improvement angle, track or class suitability, and benefits from under-the-radar market positioning. Extra place terms across all four races provide the safety net, while odds in the 10–16/1 zone maximize value.

💥 Best of luck if you’re following today. This is a high-upside, data-backed, system-compliant bet structure designed to beat the market—not follow it. 💥
