Kalypso'chance

J: Jack Kennedy T: G Elliott

Race Winner

11/10

Reason for Tip

Been a tale of two halves really for Kalypso’chance, has won some good races in good style but also disappointed more than perhaps you’d like to see. However, this five year old returned to form lto at Navan on second hurdle start when winning in very nice style on heavy ground over a longer trip than used too. Seemed to relish the extra distance and so the 3 miles on soft today looks favourable and a likely positive combination. Still open to progress, is becoming a smart jumper and has plenty of ability. Yard in fine form and have a great record here and stable jockey Jack Kennedy gets the ride. Looks a very likely winner.

11/10

26/25

1/1

⭐ NAP of the Day

Beyond The Bar – 2.15 Redcar – 5/4
T: T D Easterby | J: D Allan
Unexposed two-year-old colt from the Easterby yard who has shown improvement with each run so far. Third on debut before chasing home a comfortable winner lto and that looks solid form in this weaker race. Steps up slightly in trip which looks ideal, and with the yard’s fine record here and a confident David Allan aboard, he should have too much class for this field. Looks the standout pick and should be winning.

Unexpected Party

J: Harry Atkins T: D Skelton

Race Winner

14/1

Reason for Tip

Grand Annual winner in 2024, Unexpected Party generally runs a very solid race and the form of 22552 reflects that and he looks a little overpriced at 10/1 frankly. Has already had two runs this year and the second lto was a solid run. Could come on again for that run and despite now being 10, clearly has plenty of ability and can compete with this field of largely younger horses. Yard going pretty nicely at the moment and the Skeltons can be a shrewd bunch at times and this looks a decent race for Unexpected Party. Should relish the soft ground today and trip is of no concern. Harry Atkins takes off 7lb with his apprentice claim and that makes this old boy pretty well treated. Would not be a surprise to see him outrun the odds of 10/1 and if taking to Kelso, isn’t written out of a winning chance in this.

🎯 Dark Horse

The Childe Of Hale – 8.00 Newcastle – 10/1
T: I Furtado | J: S De Sousa
A progressive three-year-old who won well at Doncaster before a slightly disappointing run last time at Ayr over an extended trip. Back to his favoured 7f and expected to strip much fitter today. De Sousa is a strong booking and boasts an excellent record at Newcastle. The draw looks favourable, and with a well-timed run over the top late, he could outrun big odds. Don’t rule him out.

Bohemond Antioch

J: Theo Gillard T: D McCain Jnr

Race Winner

43/10

Reason for Tip

Four year old who is still rather unexposed over the obstacles and has only ran twice over them. Third on hurdling debut at Hexham in April this year before improving post wind surgery on seasonal debut at Bangor lto when finishing second. Open to plenty more improvement and should strip fitter here today for that first run. Trip and ground are both positives and if settling better through the race Bohemond Antioch could be a big danger today. Represents a shrewd yard with a good record here and has a decent jockey aboard in Theo Gillard. Plenty of positives and wouldn’t be a surprise winner.

Coastal Command

J: N de Boinville T: N J Henderson

Race Winner

11/4

Reason for Tip

Well related youngster out of the Henderson yard who has only had two starts, both resulting in third place finishes. Might not be ground breaking results, but it’s arguably the best form over obstacles in this lineup, this is not a strong race. Coastal Command likely to keep progressing and lto was first run after 5 months so can be forgiven for not being fully tuned up. Represents a top yard with a top jockey aboard. Could take this comfortably.

Kala Conti

J: Jack Kennedy T: G Elliott

Race Winner

9/2

Reason for Tip

Interesting race here in the 1.40 at Cork with some notable runners. The main player is Mullins trained Kargese who is very short in the market and Kala Conti looks good value at 9/2. Kargese doesn’t always go that great after break, and this represents chasing debut also so there is some question marks and i’m going to take her on here. Kala Conti beat Kargese back in their juvenile hurdling days and Kala Conti has the benefit of already running this season, and the benefit of already proving herself over fences when winning handily at Cork on chase debut lto. With further improvement likely and her being primed for this, she could take some beating and Kargese might not have what it takes on seasonal return, we will see. Regardless, this is a fascinating contest, Kala Conti represents a major yard with a top jockey aboard in Jack Kennedy and both of them are used to success at this track. 9/2 looks good value, and Kala Conti has every chance.

De Kingpin

J: Ben Jones T: B Pauling

Race Winner

10/3

Reason for Tip

De Kingpin has been a bit of an inconsistent type since winning a valuable Newbury novice hurdle last December however we saw a slight resurgence when going chasing for the first time lto at Ffos Las when fourth after a long lay off. Further improvement very likely and tis race today is a much weaker affair than the one lto and is very winnable for this six year old. Won’t take much improvement to get the job done today and De Kingpin is from an inform yard with a great jockey aboard in Ben Jones. Big player.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Eternal Force – 3.05 Haydock – 9/4
T: W J Haggas | J: Tom Marquand
Gunning for a hat-trick after two stylish wins post-gelding. Still on an upward curve and from a yard in top form — could easily take another step forward here.

Sharon Curly – 4.35 Redcar – 7/1
T: R A Fahey | J: Ethan Tindall
Drops to a handy mark and has a valuable 7lb claimer taking her effectively below her last winning rating. A return to winning ways wouldn’t surprise.

Dandy’s Rocket – 6.00 Newcastle – 15/2
T: M Appleby | J: A Rawlinson
Back in good form with a strong second lto and looks well-handicapped to go one better here. Always runs well on the AW and has the speed to strike.

Faro Island – 5.15 Dundalk – 9/2
T: A Oliver | J: B Lee
Showed sharp improvement to win lto at Down Royal and still looks ahead of the handicapper. Could be hard to catch if grabbing the early lead.
