NAP of the Day 29.12.25

29 Dec 15:10 - Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap - Newcastle

29 Dec 15:10
Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap - Newcastle

Prince Quattro

J: P Cosgrave T: James Owen

Race Winner

31/10

Reason for Tip

Six year old Prince Quattro used to be a hurdler and has been switched to the flat in the latter half of this year. Has been knocking on the door recently with form of 322 in last two starts and looks bound to win a race soon, and today seems the perfect chance. Has a good draw over a trip that he is effective over and this race isn’t an overly tough assignment. Represents a top yard enjoying a very good spell and has a good jockey in Pat Cosgrave. Does have risks attached given the serial nature of the close calls without winning, but this boy has posted consistently progressive figures on all four of his last starts and it likely wouldn’t take much more of an improvement to win this race. Best chance in a while today and is taken to get the job done.

31/10

9/4

2/1

⭐ NAP of the Day

Luminare – 3.45 Newcastle – 5/2

Trainer: W J Haggas
Jockey: Cieren Fallon

We’re taking on the favourite Jackabi here, who has finished runner-up on his last two outings and looks to be treading water off this mark.

Luminare, however, is still unexposed and showed clear promise earlier in the year when winning at Bath. Returned from a break last time with a solid third at Chelmsford and is expected to come on sharply for that run.

The statistics are extremely strong:

Haggas has a 25% strike rate at Newcastle.
Fallon wins 20% of his rides here.
Together at this track, they share a huge 44% strike rate.

Given the likely improvement, favourable mark, and elite trainer/jockey combination, Luminare looks exceptionally well placed.

NAP — very likely winner.

Ritaan

J: Finn Lambert T: G Nicholls

Race Winner

100/1

Reason for Tip

Ritaan is a huge price at 33/1 and this looks a wide open trappy little race today. Rittan showed fair ability in first three runs which were on the flat and made hurdle debut lto on fourth start at Sandown. Was last that day but that was a very warm Class 2 and drops two grades into Class 4 company today. Needs to relax a little and if jumping a bit cleaner from the first run, could appreciate the easier race and on more suited ground, would be silly to complete write this youngster off. This isn’t a strong race and with progression still very likely, particularly in this code, Ritaan could be challenging the field in this race and is definitely capable of outrunning those huge odds of 33/1.

🎯 Dark Horse

Our Absent Friends – 7.15 Newcastle – 9/1

Trainer: T Davidson
Jockey: Jason Hart

A wide-open Class 6, ideal for a big-priced runner.
Our Absent Friends is now on a dangerously low mark, has won at Newcastle before, and returns to a track he enjoys. Recent form is better than it looks, with several midfield finishes suggesting he’s close to striking.

Key positives today:

Good draw in stall 4
Drop in grade
Jason Hart — very much in form and a strong jockey at this course
Bookies paying 4 places, making him a superb each-way option

He should be finishing strongly and can easily outrun his price.
Live outsider with winning potential.

Rula Bula

J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr. T: J & A O'Neill

Race Winner

4/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old Rula Bula is largely consistent, particularly in the beginning of the season generally. Returned on seasonal debut lto when scoring comfortably at Carlisle in a Class 4. Handicapper has put her up 6lb for that success and this is a slightly warmer race which is why the odds aren’t shorter than 7/2. However, should strip fitter for that seasonal run out, has good course form and often runs well here and both trip and ground are ideally suited. Represents an inform yard with a great jockey aboard in Jonjo. Might be a tougher assignment than last time, and up in the weights, but Rula Bula is capable of scoring again today.

Tiddesley Wood

J: J J Burke T: F O'Brien

Race Winner

4/1

Reason for Tip

Low mileage five year old who has been progressive this season. Third on seasonal debut in October when going over hurdles for the first time before going on to win lto at Windsor. Showed good improvement that day and i don’t think we’ve seen the end of the progression. Runs same trip here today and over the same ground as the win lto. Has ran here once on debut on the flat and so does know the course and should cope fine today. This isn’t an overly strong race and Tiddesley Wood is more than capable of completing the double. Yard in decent form and a good jockey aboard in J J Burke. Big chance.

Andashan

J: Freddie Gordon T: C Gordon

Race Winner

31/5

Reason for Tip

Andashan has shown promise and ability in recent runs and is a previous scorer in a maiden at Kempton back in February. Only two runs so far this season, a third here at Newbury on seasonal return and then a very strong second lto at Haydock behind a very smart type. That was first time over 2m3f and it seemed to suit very well and yard have opted for a 2m4f race here which looks a good choice. Generally a very clean hurdler and usually puts up a good run. Has good course form here, remains open to progression and is on a very workable mark. Yard in fantastic form currently and Freddie Gordon who’s aboard is also a man in a good spell. Lots to like today, should be fully primed for this and should be bang there at the end.

Al Muqdad

J: D Nolan T: D O'Meara

Race Winner

10/1

Reason for Tip

Five year old with plenty of ability which was shown when winning incredibly easily back in November at Wolverhampton. Got hit with a 10lb rise for that and has struggled a little since with form of 835 since that win. Remains off the same mark today and we’ve seen in last two starts that Al Muqdad has looked a bit sharper and getting used to the new weight. Wasn’t a long way fifth lto and remains competitive. This is arguable a weaker race and despite being 9/1, is far from written off. There’s not a lot to shout about some in this field and the principal in the market is attempting a four timer after another rise. Would be no surprise to see Al Muqdad run a big race today under a David Nolan ride.
