NAP of the Day 07.01.26

Unibet/EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) - Kempton

Free Your Spirit

J: Donagh Murphy T: R Hughes

Race Winner

1/1

Reason for Tip

Twice raced three year old who was fourth on debut before showing leaps and bounds of improvement to win lto at Wolverhampton by 3lengths. Was an easy and comfortably victory and this colt has a 7lb penalty today as a result. However, the ever shrewd Hughes yard has booked talented apprentice Donagh Murphy for the ride who has a 7lb apprentice allowance meaning Free Your Spirit runs off the same as lto. Has a good draw in stall 2 and remains open to plenty of further progression. Doesn’t seem much in this field that can oppose this boy today and bar a freak improver, he looks to have this one in the bag. Should win.

1/1

47/50

⭐ NAP of the Day

Alba Gu Brath

5.30 Wolverhampton – 1/1
T: C Johnston | J: Callum Shepherd

Alba Gu Brath looks the standout in a race full of unexposed three-year-olds. He has finished second on both career starts so far and was only beaten last time out by a very smart-looking newcomer at Newcastle, pulling well clear of the rest of the field.

He remains open to plenty of improvement and looks progressive on the figures so far. He tackles the straight mile again but switches to Wolverhampton for the first time. A wide draw in stall 9 is the main question mark, especially as he has led on both previous starts, but Callum Shepherd — operating at a strong strike-rate recently — is a big positive booking.

Alba Gu Brath sets the standard on form and looks primed to get off the mark today.

The Organiser

J: K T O'Neill T: M Pattinson

Race Winner

31/2

Reason for Tip

The Organiser won back in September at Brighton but hasn’t coped with the increase since. However is now very well handicapped off a mark of 63 today, 1lb below his Brighton win and 7 below highest winning mark. Ran nicely lto when third in a Class 4 at this track and drops down into Class 6 company today. Runs the same 6f trip as lto and looks set for a big run off this rather lowly mark. This is a pretty wide open race and looks like plenty have chances and The Organiser is taken to push on from that good run lto and is by no means out of winning a race of this calibre today. Decent chance considering the odds.

31/2

12/1

10/1

🎯 Dark Horse

Montu

7.00 Wolverhampton – 10/1
T: Jack Jones | J: Dylan Hogan

Montu is a three-year-old who hasn’t yet shown his full potential, with form figures of 797 from his first three starts. However, he is very nicely bred and now enters handicapping in what looks a particularly ordinary Class 6 contest.

The step up in trip to 1m1f looks a positive on pedigree, and a plum draw in stall 1 gives him every chance of settling into a good position. Some horses take time to find their feet, and handicaps often unlock that improvement.

At double-figure odds, Montu is capable of showing much more than we’ve seen so far and is taken to outrun his price.

Tiger Crusade

J: Callum Shepherd T: D M Simcock

Race Winner

13/2

Reason for Tip

Not the simplest of horses at times but took advantage of a drop in class back in June when winning at Brighton. Returned for seasonal reappearance lto here at Lingfield and was a credible third that day. Remains on the same mark, at the same track and over the same trip and should stirp much fitter today after that run. Has an ok draw out of stall 5 and a good jockey in Callum Shepherd. This race is by now means out of reach and Tiger Crusade looks set for a big run.

Forceful Lady

J: William Carson T: A W Carroll

Race Winner

9/2

Reason for Tip

Three year old Forceful Lady has turned a corner of late and been running much better than previously. Was second at Wolverhampton in November but looking very good for a long way at Chelmsford lto before being hampered in the closing stages. Clearly on a very workable mark and looks the pick of the bunch today. This isn’t a strong race at all and Forceful Lady has put together two strong performances of late and looks primed to grab the win. Has a plum draw in stall 1 and William Carson retains the ride. She has done her best running from the front and would expect similar tactics here. If the field give her an easy lead, they may not catch her. Big chance.

Lerwick

J: George Wood T: D M Loughnane

Race Winner

17/5

Reason for Tip

Trappy little race this 6.00 and one who looks to have a great chance is six year old Lerwick from the Loughnane stable. Never really finding much in spell over 6f and returned to 7f lto here at Kempton and looked much better with a very close third of twelve. Gets 7f again today and blinkers return today, a positive given Lerwicks best performances have often come when the blinkers are on. Loughnane yard has a decent record here and George Wood is a good booking. Does have a wide draw from stall 8 to contend with and does tend to run on the prominent side of the race so hopefully gets out quick to take up a frontal position early. Open race, and Lerwick looks a likely winner.

Popmaster

J: Oisin Murphy T: E Walker

Race Winner

11/2

Reason for Tip

Popmaster has showed hints at promise of later after a disappointing time earlier this year and the third last time out at Southwell was this eight year olds best run in a while. Should be primed today after two runs so far this winter and looks a big threat today in what is a rather ordinary race. Has a great draw in stall 1 and the drop back to 7f is arguably a positive. Represents a top yard who generally do very well here and one of the best in the business aboard in Oisin Murphy. May take some pegging back today and after progressive runs since returning and is taken to get the job done.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Eye Of The Water

4.00 Wolverhampton – 7/2
T: R Harris | J: Cieren Fallon

Now a ten-year-old, Eye Of The Water is very experienced and well treated on current ratings. While he hasn’t been in the winner’s enclosure since mid-2023, he has been edging closer recently and wasn’t far away when fourth at Lingfield last time out.

This looks a weak race, and with a top jockey aboard in Cieren Fallon — who has a good record here — Eye Of The Water should be competitive. A wide draw is the main concern, but off this mark and at this level, he looks a big player.

The Gay Blade

4.30 Wolverhampton – 6/1
T: I Jardine | J: Andrew Mullen

Recent form figures of 63990 don’t make great reading, but The Gay Blade is now on a bottomed-out mark and looks well handicapped on previous form. He drops into a 0–50 rated race for the first time, which immediately makes him of interest.

This looks a very ordinary contest, and a change of track could spark a revival. With his usual jockey Andrew Mullen back aboard, The Gay Blade is taken seriously at this level and capable of bouncing back.

Enola Grey

6.30 Wolverhampton – 11/4
T: G Tutty | J: Kaiya Fraser

Enola Grey is a Tapeta specialist, with six career wins on the all-weather compared to just one on turf. She was a convincing winner here at Wolverhampton last time out, and a 6lb rise doesn’t look enough to stop her.

She has a good draw and returns to a course she clearly enjoys. While the yard isn’t in red-hot form, those spells don’t last forever, and Enola Grey looks to have an excellent chance of completing a Wolverhampton double.

Auntie Jo

8.00 Wolverhampton – 5/2
T: D O’Meara | J: Mark Winn

Auntie Jo returned from a nine-month break last time out and, despite needing the run, shaped well for much of the race. She should strip fitter today and returns to a course she has previously enjoyed.

Dropping back to her preferred 5f and drawn well in stall 2, this looks a golden opportunity in what is a weak-looking race. Representing a yard well known for success here, Auntie Jo is very likely to go close and could finally get her head in front.
