⭐ NAP of the Day

U Cant Be Serious – 1.58 Exeter @ 7/4

Trainer: J Tizzard
Jockey: Freddie Gingell

U Cant Be Serious made the perfect transition to fences on seasonal debut, travelling powerfully and winning with plenty in hand over this exact trip. Now 2/2 at 2m3f, he returns to Exeter under ideal conditions with the same rider onboard.

The Tizzard/Gingell combination boasts an impressive 22% strike rate at this track, and with the horse still at the early stages of his chasing career, there’s plenty more improvement to come. Ground is perfect, trip is ideal, and the profile screams “follow up”.

A major chance and today’s standout bet.

Shantwopointfive

J: Caoilin Quinn T: W Greatrex
Race Winner
16/1

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Shantwopointfive might be top weight today, but looks primed for a big run here. Has started this season slowly with form of P5 since return last month but has looked better for each run out and is taken to keep the progression going. Knows how to get the job done and has good form in better races than this last year. Drops back in trip here after struggling over further lto and that looks a positive change. Yard are going nicely, Caoilin Quinn is riding well at the moment and Shantwopointfive is more than capable of outrunning odds of 16/1 and is primed for a big run today. Outside chance, but not written off by any means.

🎯 Dark Horse

Benacre – 4.45 Newcastle @ 10/1

Trainer: C Johnston
Jockey: Billy Loughnane

Benacre is your live outsider today. He’s been rock-solid in Class 4 company this year with form figures 1-2-3-4 at the level and simply found life too tough upped to Class 3 last time.

Back to Class 4 and back to Newcastle — where he’s already won — he sits just 2lb above his last winning mark and gets the services of Billy Loughnane, who rides this track extremely well.

Expect him to go forward. If Loughnane can grab an uncontested lead, this horse becomes very difficult to reel in.

Dangerous at double-figure odds.

Taurus Bay

J: Ben Jones T: B Pauling
Race Winner
2/1

Reason for Tip

Four year old Taurus Bay fetched a pretty £155,000 after winning irish point in February and backed that up in rules debut at Stratford lto when winning cosily in a Class 3 novice. Remains very unexposed and open to plenty of progress. Has shown ability and promise and this race is well within his reach. Still very much an unknown quantity but it’s likely we haven’t seen the ceiling yet and looks a smart prospect. From a top yard with a top jockey aboard in Ben Jones. Lots to like and a likely winner.

Lumi Plugin

J: Freddie Mitchell T: G & J Moore
Race Winner
11/2

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent at the back end of last season over hurdles with form of 2312 in final four starts. Makes seasonal debut after being off since April and goes over the fences for the first time. Has had eight months off so there is a question mark over how well he will go fresh but we know the trip is ideal and the forecast ground is favourable. If taking well to fences for the first time, is a major player here for a yard who notched up three wins yesterday and Sandown and are going very nicely. Freddie Mitchell aboard and lots to like here.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

1️⃣ Klub De Reve – 12.48 Exeter @ 2/1

Unexposed type. Strong 3rd in a warm Class 2 at Newbury and shaped nicely on return in Class 3. Drops to Class 4 and looks tailor-made for this assignment. Yard in form, trip ideal, jockey positive.

2️⃣ Keep Running – 1.10 Sandown @ 5/2

Progressive last season and returned with a strong 2nd at Fontwell. Drops back to his preferred 2m trip after last year’s winning double came at this distance. Should strip fitter and the stable is firing.

3️⃣ Marche D’aligre – 3.30 Sandown @ 10/3

Grade 2 runner-up last season. Returned with an eye-catching 2nd at Wetherby and now drops in class. Ground and trip are perfect. Gavin Sheehan rides — huge plus.

4️⃣ Castan – 6.45 Newcastle @ 3/1

Four-time winner at this track and now back to his last winning mark. Forgive last run (never settled after slow start). Well drawn, weaker race, and Shoemark onboard. Big chance of a fifth Newcastle win.

💡 TipMan Professional Insights – Why These Free Racing Tips Work
  • Course Form Matters Today — several of our selections thrive at specific tracks (Castan & Benacre at Newcastle, U Cant Be Serious at Exeter).

  • Seasonal Debut Angles — many horses improve dramatically for their first run back; Keep Running and Marche D’aligre fit the profile to step forward.

  • Class Drops Are Key — Klub De Reve and Benacre both take notable drops in grade today, making them far more dangerous.

  • Jockey/Trainer Strikerates — Tizzard & Gingell at Exeter (22%), Snowden & Sheehan in form, and Smart/Shoemark strong at Newcastle.

These are the exact types of edges that make the difference in December racing.

Tipmans's Final Word

Good luck, enjoy the racing, and as always — bet responsibly.
