Huntingdon Horse Racing: Massey’s Tips and a Look at Trainer David Dennis’s Form

David Massey, fresh off an 11/1 win, is focusing his attention on Huntingdon Racecourse today, offering two promising bets. This comes as trainer David Dennis sees continued success, with recent wins at Huntingdon and Plumpton.

Mahler Moon: A Strong Contender in the 14:45

The 14:45 at Huntingdon features Mahler Moon, a horse Massey believes is well-handicapped. Although he’s only won once, his autumn form is encouraging, particularly a strong second-place finish to Noble Park at Hereford in November. Noble Park has since won twice, improving off a 15lb higher mark. Mahler Moon also ran well against a next-time-out winner, Buckna.

The key for Mahler Moon appears to be good ground. A break since a disappointing run on good to soft ground at Newbury in January could be beneficial, and the drying conditions at Huntingdon are expected to suit him. Massey notes the yard is currently in good form.

Still, Ballynaheer, arriving with impressive form, is returning from a four-month absence. David Dennis’s runners returning from 60+ days off have a recent record of 00990, suggesting a need for a run. Dangerous Touch’s form also suffers on faster ground.

Walk the Plank: An Outsider with Potential in the 16:45

The 16:45 at Huntingdon is described as a weak event, with Massey highlighting potential issues with the favorites. Livy’s Lad, despite a winning debut, beat limited competition, and Flash In The Park has a history of fading. Hobie, also returning from a break for David Dennis, has shown inconsistent form.

Massey suggests considering Walk the Plank, an outsider he previously identified as a “Massey Special” – a horse with long odds but potential. He showed promise in a fifth-place finish against a subsequent winner at Huntingdon in December. While still developing as a chaser, he didn’t perform badly and could improve in a race lacking depth, especially with good ground conditions.

David Dennis Racing: Recent Form

David Dennis has enjoyed recent success. On March 1st, 2026, both Imperial Pride and Kally Des Bruyeres won at Huntingdon. More recently, on March 16th, 2026, Imperial Pride won at Plumpton. Kally Des Bruyeres also secured a win at Taunton on March 9th, 2026.

However, Dennis’s runners have also experienced setbacks, with some failing to place in recent races at Warwick, Exeter, and Ludlow. The trainer’s form shows a mix of successes and challenges, highlighting the unpredictable nature of horse racing.
