Early Release

J: Oisin Murphy T: P D Evans
Race Winner
47/10

Reason for Tip

Two Kempton wins have flanked three poor runs at Wolverhampton and form reads 19081 since September. Won in fine style lto and has been hit by a 5lb penalty for that run but looks a very smart prospect for completing a double in this race at Southwell which on paper isn’t overly formidable. The slight drop in trip is not a negative and Early Release has a reasonable enough draw in stall 6. Does his best running from the front, both wins were front running victories and so whilst stall 6 isn’t perfect, Early Release has the benefit of Oisin Murphy aboard who won atop this horse at Kempton back in September. Likely to be under instruction to start fast and take prominent position which if he can achieve, Early Release will be tough to reel in. Oisin has a good record here and has a 33% strikerate when riding for the Evans yard. Early Rise is taken to defy the penalty and score again.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Guard Duty – 2:15 Doncaster

Trainer: Miss E C Lavelle
Jockey: Ben Jones

Guard Duty looks the standout bet on the card and earns today’s NAP of the Day. He enjoyed a strong campaign last season with back-to-back wins before returning this term with two excellent placed efforts in warm handicaps at Newbury and Windsor.

Those runs suggest he’s now fully tuned up, and this race looks well within reach off his current mark. The Lavelle yard are in cracking form, Ben Jones continues to ride with real confidence, and conditions are ideal. Everything points towards a big performance.

Verdict: Hard to oppose – looks the one to beat.

Secret Squirrel

J: J J Burke T: H Morrison
Race Winner
14/1

Reason for Tip

County Hurdle time at Cheltenham and with the bookies paying up to 6 places and the festival throwing up many a winner in the double digits, Secret Squirrel looks a fine option for a nice priced place opportunity and not discounted from winning this either. Form reads 3F1F3 and the falls were both at the final face when in contention. Clearly remains on a very capable mark and bounced back nicely last time at Wincanton when a not so distant third in the Grade 2 Kingwell. Will stay the trip, will be fine on the ground and likely to take a step forward today in what looks to be a rather open renewal. Jonathan Burke aboard for the Morrison trained seven year old and they have a good record together. Does need a bit of in race fortune and a clean round of jumping but capable of outrunning this price and that’s what he’s taken to do.

🎯 Dark Horse

Yorgunnabeplucky – 3:47 Warwick

Trainer: Evan Williams
Jockey: Sean Bowen

Yorgunnabeplucky is taken as today’s Dark Horse at rewarding odds. He made a winning chase debut last season and has returned with three solid runs, hitting the frame each time. Still relatively unexposed over fences, he steps up in trip today, which could unlock further improvement.

The presence of Sean Bowen is a major positive, and while this is a competitive contest, he looks overpriced compared to the principals. If taking another step forward, he’s more than capable of getting involved.

Verdict: Big price for a progressive chaser – each-way appeal.

Where's Cato

J: Conor Ring T: Mrs C Williams
Race Winner
29/5

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Where’s Cato was a little inconsistent in novices and maidens and has looked much better since going chasing in handicaps. Won chasing/handicap debut at Huntingdon over a similar trip and wasn’t disgraced at all on second chase start lto at Plumpton. Clearly remains on a workable mark and looks a major player today in first time cheekpieces. Ground is fine and makes first start today for new stable, the Williams yard. Conor Ring retains the ride and this race doesn’t look overly warm and shouldn’t take a great deal of winning. Where’s Cato looks set for another big run and wouldn’t be a surprise winner. Good chance.

Stone's Throw

J: C Gethings T: Billy Aprahamian
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Completed a quickfire double in December at Southwell and over C&D here. Upped in class lto and struggled on the softer ground so can be forgiven for that poor result. Very likely to bounce back today back at Doncaster on good ground which he loves. Is on career high mark but has been running very well for the last couple of months and has to be taken very seriously back in Class 3 company today. Only a mark 6 higher than his 8 length dominance back here two starts ago and looks to be capable of winning still. Ciaran Gethings aboard is a jockey change, but not a negative one, has a good record here at Doncaster with a 20% strikerate in the last two years and is also riding regular winners recently. Big player.

Macarone

J: Billy Loughnane T: I Furtado
Race Winner
32/5

Reason for Tip

Interesting race here headed by Ian Williams Beauzon who completed a six timer lto. However, a chance is taken on five year old Macarone from the Furtado yard. Macarone won twice over course and distance last year and after a few sub par runs elsewhere at 5f and 7f, returned to 6f here at Wolverhampton lto when a not distant fourth. Looking a little well treated currently and has a big chance today from a plum draw in stall 1. Likely to start well from this draw and runs his best races from the front and will get the chance to do that today in a race that’s very suited. 10/1 looks a shade too high and more than capable of putting in a run much better than those odds and not written out of winning this with in form Billy Loughnane aboard today who has a fortnightly strikerate of 35% and a solid course record to boot. Good chance.

Filly One

J: P J McDonald T: G R Oldroyd
Race Winner
9/4

Reason for Tip

In a race of horses struggling to find form, there is one stand out who isn’t struggling to contest recently and that’s five year old Filly One from the Oldroyd yard who has recorded two wins and a second in last five starts and 112 in last three AW starts. The second place lto over C&D was only a head and remains on a very competitive mark. Well drawn in stall 3 today at a course this five year old loves and looks like Filly One could be hard to peg back today. When yard and jockey have combined at this course in the last 2 years they share a 31% strikerate together and that’s an impressive statistic. Filly One looks the likely winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

🔹 Dig Deep – 12:45 Doncaster (4/1)

An unexposed five-year-old dropping back into calmer waters after a tough Class 3 run. Represents a yard in great form and looks primed to strike.

🔹 Gwennie May Star – 2:37 Warwick (9/4)

A proven winner at the track who should control this race from the front. The switch to Sean Bowen is a big upgrade.

🔹 El Bufalo – 4:10 Wolverhampton (7/2)

Progressing rapidly since changing yards and only nudged up 2lb for his latest win. Strong claims of following up.

🔹 Silky Lass – 5:15 Southwell (3/1)

A lightly raced filly showing steady improvement. This looks a very winnable race with just a touch more progress.

Lucky 15 Verdict: A well-balanced mix of solid favourites and improving types with upside.
