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

Carnival Queen

4.40 Wolverhampton – 11/10
Trainer: Charlie Appleby
Jockey: Billy Loughnane

Carnival Queen is a beautifully bred filly who cost 350,000gns and shaped with plenty of promise on debut here back in October. She was noticeably green that day, slowly away and unsettled, but that effort is easily forgiven given the profile of this Appleby runner.

It’s very common for horses from this yard to take a significant step forward on their second start, and with the greenness already out of the way, she looks primed to improve markedly. The trip remains the same, conditions are ideal, and Billy Loughnane retains the ride — a jockey who boasts an excellent strike-rate at this venue.

When Loughnane rides for the Appleby yard, they have combined to win 43% of races over the last two seasons, which is a huge statistic in this context. Carnival Queen looks to hold a clear class edge over today’s rivals and is taken to justify favouritism.

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

Jack The Boss

1.38 Hereford – 16/1
Trainer: Donald McCain Jnr
Jockey: Theo Gillard

This is a wide-open handicap with several bookmakers paying five places, and Jack The Boss looks overpriced at 16/1. A winner on debut in a junior hurdle at Wetherby, he showed ability early in his career and is far better than recent form suggests.

He refused on seasonal debut but returned lto at Sedgefield where he clearly needed the run. That effort can be forgiven, and he should strip much fitter today making his handicap debut off a workable mark. The McCain yard are ticking along nicely, and Theo Gillard is a strong booking in races of this nature.

With proven ability and expected improvement, Jack The Boss could easily outrun his odds and looks a solid each-way contender at a big price.

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.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Cobblers Boy

12.55 Haydock – 9/4
Trainer: Dan Skelton
Jockey: Tristan Durrell

Cobblers Boy remains very unexposed with just three career starts and form figures of 821. He made all to win at Warwick lto and looks the type to progress again. Although he returns from a break, his runs are usually spaced and he has shown he goes well fresh.

The Skelton yard know how to have them ready, conditions look ideal, and Tristan Durrell continues to impress in the saddle. A major threat in this field.

Bad

1.50 Ascot – 4/1
Trainer: Ben Pauling
Jockey: Ben Jones

Bad has been a model of consistency, winning twice at Kempton before running a huge race in the Paddy Power Gold Cup lto at Cheltenham. He was only beaten by the hill that day and now drops back slightly in trip to a more suitable distance.

He enjoys Ascot, jumps well, often makes the running, and represents a yard in good form. Ben Jones retains the ride and everything points to another big performance.

Mondo Man

3.35 Ascot – 11/4
Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore
Jockey: Caoilin Quinn

Mondo Man has yet to win over hurdles, but his ability is undeniable. He was only beaten by a smart rival on seasonal return at Lingfield and should strip fitter for that run.

Previously competing in Grade 1 and Grade 2 company, he now finds himself in a very winnable contest. He’s already run well at Ascot and today’s conditions look ideal. Big chance.

Maywedance

8.15 Wolverhampton – 5/1
Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies
Jockey: Hector Crouch

Maywedance finally got her head in front lto at Kempton and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see her kick on now confidence is gained. This is a weaker race and she has a top jockey booking in Hector Crouch, who has an excellent record at Wolverhampton.

Expected to race prominently again and has every chance of following up.
