Dandy Khan

J: Billy Loughnane T: J R Boyle
Race Winner
99/50

Reason for Tip

Slow start to this fillies career but she’s now found her feet and doesn’t look done yet. Completed a quickfire Lingfield double and now bids for hattrick here today. Has escaped a penalty for the win lto and therefore seems to remain very well treated in another arguably weak race. Has a plum draw out of stall one and represents a yard in very strong form currently. Billy Loughnane aboard is a positive booking and he knows how to win here. The hattrick looks likely for this three year old.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Dandy Khan

2.07 Lingfield – 15/8
Trainer: J R Boyle
Jockey: Billy Loughnane

Dandy Khan made a slow start to her career but she’s really turned a corner now, landing a quickfire Lingfield doubleand showing she’s only just beginning to progress. Crucially, she escapes a penalty for the win last time out, leaving her looking extremely well-treated for another winnable contest.

She’s got the plum inside draw (stall 1), represents a yard in red-hot form, and has the services of Billy Loughnane — who rides Lingfield better than most and has been excellent tactically around here. The race looks no stronger than her previous two assignments and the hat-trick is very much on for this improving filly.

Why it’s the NAP:
Form, draw, trainer form, track suitability and a generous mark. Everything lines up.

Palace Boy

J: Oscar Palmer T: F Brennan
Race Winner
18/1

Reason for Tip

This eight year old hasn’t been since May 2024 and so has a very long break to contend with however he’s 2 wins from 2 runs at this track and was competing in higher grades than this on last few starts. Makes debut for a new yard and has the benefit of Oscar Palmer and his 7lb apprentice allowance today. Plum draw out of stall 2 and he is a very interesting contender today. If going well fresh off this mark in a relatively weak race he definitely has what’s needed to pick up another Wolverhampton win. Plenty of things to like ultimately and it’s likely going to come down to how well he goes fresh but at 14/1, he looks a nice outside chance in this.

🎯 Dark Horse

Palace Boy

5.30 Wolverhampton – 14/1
Trainer: F Brennan
Jockey: Oscar Palmer (7lb claim)

Palace Boy hasn’t been seen since May 2024, which explains the big price — but he’s 2-from-2 at Wolverhampton, and crucially was competing in higher-class company on his last few starts. Today he drops into a much easier race and makes his debut for a new yard.

The 7lb claim of Oscar Palmer is a huge help, he’s drawn perfectly in stall 2, and this race isn’t the strongest on paper. If he’s anywhere near race-fit, Palace Boy has genuine winning claims at a big price — a proper Dark Horse selection.

Why he’s the Dark Horse:
Course record, class drop, big jockey claim and a perfect draw. Backable at double-figures.

Sergeant Pep

J: Rossa Ryan T: C G Cox
Race Winner
22/5

Reason for Tip

Sergeant Pep ran well very on seasonal debut at Haydock when third in a Class 3 and has been a little disappointing since. However, is on a very workable mark and looks primed for a big run off this mark in a race that’s weaker than any of his recent contests. Runs his usual trip and generally does ok on the AW so no negative there. It wouldn’t take much form to get the job done today and this five year old has a good chance of doing so with top jockey Rossa Ryan aboard. Likely winner today off this mark.

Dunnet Head

J: P W Wadge T: L Russell & M Scudamore
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Form of 59309 doesn’t exactly inspire huge confidence, however this seven year is very well treated on old form and can be forgiven for needing the run on seasonal debut lto. Returns to fences today which is a positive, generally seems to prefer chasing to hurdling and both trip and ground are suited. This isn’t an overly tough assignment and with a clear round of jumping Dunnet Head should be bang there come the final furlongs. Decent jockey aboard who has a great strikerate this last fortnight and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see this boy bounce back to form today.

Crossbeau

J: S Bowen T: Tim Vaughan
Race Winner
12/5

Reason for Tip

Crossbeau had not been seen for over 500 days when returning to the track lto at Chepstow and he finished beautifully to take the win there. Likely to come on for that first run blowing the cobwebs off and is taken to defy 6lb rise. This race is arguably slightly easier than lto and looks set for another big run. Trip is slightly on the shorter side compared to any recent runs but should be fine regardless and is versatile to the ground. Top jockey aboard in Sean Bowen and this six year old has a very good chance at following up.

Gustav Graves

J: Joanna Mason T: D Shaw
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Gustav Graves and Wolverhampton are a fierce combination, this seven year old is a course specialist and loves it here and only really tends to run here now. Has not been out the top 2 in last three starts and was only denied the win by a short head lto last month. Remains on a competitive mark, knows the course very well and we will no doubt see another big run here. Joanna Mason gets the ride and we are likely to see Gustav at the back of the pack and coming over the top in the final furlong and would not be shocked to see this boy pick up his eighth win at this course.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

1️⃣ Sergeant Pep – 1.07 Lingfield – 4/1

T: C G Cox | J: Rossa Ryan
Ran well on seasonal debut in Class 3 company and now drops into a weaker race off a handy mark. Back on the AW, back to his ideal trip and partnered by Rossa Ryan. A big run looks likely.


2️⃣ Dunnet Head – 1.45 Musselburgh – 5/1

T: L Russell & M Scudamore | J: P W Wadge
Ignore the form figures — he’s much better than that. Returns to fences, which is a big positive, and is extremely well-treated on old ability. Jockey is in great form and this race is very winnable.


3️⃣ Crossbeau – 3.25 Fontwell – 9/4

T: Tim Vaughan | J: Sean Bowen
Won nicely on return after 500+ days off and should improve fitness-wise. The 6lb rise is manageable and this is slightly easier than last time. Bowen booked — major chance.


4️⃣ Gustav Graves – 8.00 Wolverhampton – 9/2

T: D Shaw | J: Joanna Mason
A Wolverhampton specialist who’s been in the frame in his last three. Only beaten a short head last time and remains on a workable mark. Expect him to stalk and pounce late. Big chance.

  • Palace Boy brings back-class and a flawless track record — exactly what we look for in an outsider.
