Women Investors Network Handicap Chase (GBB Race) - Wincanton

Ballymackie

J: S Bowen T: O Murphy
Race Winner
6/4

Reason for Tip

Ballymackie is an eight year old horse who moved to the Murphy yard after the end of the 2024 season. Spent most of 2025 off and returned in a Novice chase at Leicester in December last year. Won that race in nice style and then went on to win lto at Ayr too, both over 2m4f and both wins looked convincing. Has contested much deeper races previously including a Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham in 2024. Still looks very well treated and looks to have a lot left in the tank and so looks nailed on for another big run here. Two wins from two runs since joining the Murphy’s and the yard remain in fantastic form. Sean Bowen has been aboard for the two wins recently and retains the ride again here today. Hattrick looks very much on and Ballymackie could take this with relative ease. Big chance.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Krissy

4.35 Southwell – 11/4
T: J S Goldie | J: Lauren Young

Krissy has been in excellent form since November, with recent figures reading 121, and arrives here following a dominant front-running win at Wolverhampton. She runs over the same trip again today in what looks a weaker race on paper.

A key positive is her draw in stall 3, which should allow her to get out quickly and dictate matters from the front — a style that clearly suits her. Lauren Young takes off a valuable 5lb and has a strong record riding for this yard, further enhancing Krissy’s already attractive profile.

Off a mark of just 54, Krissy looks the standout on the card and is taken to make all once again.

Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Handicap - Newcastle

Moonstone Boy

J: Lewis Edmunds T: J Candlish
Race Winner
14/1

Reason for Tip

Out of sorts for old yard last year and changed yards at the back end of last year and now resides with the Candlish’s. Solid fourth on debut for the new yard in January but failed to back that up lto at here at this track when a remote seventh. Did race far too freely that day and under a tighter ride is likely to run a better race. Drawn wide but does a lot of racing from the rear so won’t mind slotting in towards the back here. Jockey change today to Lewis Edmunds is no negative and Lewis is riding pretty well at the moment. Drops back into 0-75 company today and can’t be completely ruled off at this level off this mark and so a chance is taken on this five year old bouncing back and into the places at the least.

🎯 Dark Horse

Enpassant

1.00 Southwell – 16/1
T: M Herrington | J: Jonny Peate

Enpassant has found life tougher since a productive spell last season, but his current mark now looks far more workable. He’s only 3lb above his last winning rating and showed signs of a return to form last time out when fifth in a bunched finish here at Southwell.

He drops back into Class 6 company today, which immediately makes him more competitive, and the race itself looks weak. While the yard and jockey are currently short of winners, those runs don’t last forever, and Enpassant is more than capable of outrunning big odds.

At 16/1, he looks a cracking place shout and shouldn’t be ruled out of winning altogether.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Down To The Kid

1.30 Southwell – 9/2
T: M Herrington | J: Neil Callan

Down To The Kid is a Southwell specialist, with all six of his career wins coming at this track. He returned from a seven-month break last time out and ran a huge race when finishing a close second, suggesting he’ll strip much fitter for that run.

Drawn well in stall 3 and remaining on a workable mark, the main question is the drop back in trip, but he has plenty of early pace and should cope just fine. A big run is expected in a wide-open contest.

Magna

2.00 Southwell – 11/4
T: A W Carroll | J: Neil Callan

Magna showed dramatic improvement last time out when dropped to 6f for the first time, winning well after failing to score in 14 previous attempts over longer trips. That switch clearly unlocked improvement.

He remains unexposed over sprint distances and has the early speed to overcome a wider draw. Representing a solid yard and with Neil Callan again aboard, Magna looks capable of following up in a modest-looking race.

Ziggy’s Triton

3.00 Southwell – 7/2
T: David O’Meara | J: Mark Winn

Ziggy’s Triton is chasing a Southwell hat-trick after two impressive wins here, including defying a 10lb rise last time out when scoring again with something still left in hand.

He’s been hit with another 5lb rise, but the manner of his recent victories suggests there may still be more to come. Drawn well in stall 4 and with Mark Winn aboard, Ziggy’s Triton is taken to defy the handicap once again.

Queen Sansa

4.05 Southwell – 13/2
T: S C Williams | J: Jack Dace

Queen Sansa remains a maiden after ten starts, but that has allowed her mark to drop to a very tempting level. She showed clear promise last time out when finishing a close second at Lingfield, suggesting a win is not far away.

This looks a weak race, the trip suits well, and she has previously shown ability at Southwell. Jack Dace’s 5lb claim is another positive, and Queen Sansa looks a major contender to finally get her head in front.
