Emit

J: R L Moore T: J P O'Brien
Race Winner
11/10

Reason for Tip

Four year old Emit is pretty low mileage still and remains open to plenty of further progression. Only finished outside the top two once in career so far and that was a subpar run in a Group 3 at Ascot last June. Solidified promise when third in a Group 3 at Longchamp two starts ago and then was second again in a much warmer Group 2 there lto in October. Does have the break to content with but yard have a good record with fresh horses and this is not the same level as those races today. Trip is fine as is the ground and has the services of Ryan Moore for the ride. Emit looks like he will take some beating today and represents a yard and jockey combination that are no strangers to success. Big chance, likely winner.

⭐ NAP of the Day

🔒 Kitzbuhel – 2.40 Sandown (11/10)

Trainer: Willie Mullins | Jockey: Harry Cobden

Top-class operator Kitzbuhel looks a strong NAP at Sandown. The six-year-old has shown himself to be a versatile and high-quality performer, winning at Grade 1 and Grade 2 level and taking particularly well to chasing.

He remains unbeaten over fences (2-from-2), including an impressive Grade 1 success at Kempton on Boxing Day, shaping like a horse with plenty more to offer in this discipline. While he drops back slightly in trip today to 2m4f, versatility is one of his biggest strengths and he has already won over a similar distance at Punchestown.

Ground conditions will suit, the Mullins yard have a solid record at Sandown, and Harry Cobden is a notable booking. When this jockey-trainer combination team up, they operate at a 31% strike-rate, which only adds confidence. Kitzbuhel looks the pick of the field and a very likely winner.

Midnite All-Weather Vase Middle Distance Handicap (GBBPlus Race) - Lingfield

Eupator

J: Joe Leavy T: R Hannon
Race Winner
20/1

Reason for Tip

Absolutely wide open race here in the 3.15 and one who looks to have a potential chance on drop back in class is four year old Eupator from the Hannons. Completed a Wolverhampton double at the start of the year but has been well held the last twice off the increased mark. Would take a personal best to get the job done today but mark has slipped by 1 following the run last time and this trip is very much within firing range. Eupator runs his best races from the front and is likely to lead again today from stall 3. From a yard with a decent record here including a place in this race last year and has a good jockey aboard in Joe Leavy. Outside chance, but definitely not written off today in suited conditions and may throw up a big run today.

🎯 Dark Horse

💣 Twilight Jet – 3.55 Lingfield (22/1)

Trainer: J & S Best | Jockey: William Cox

The 3.55 at Lingfield looks a wide-open handicap and Twilight Jet appeals as a lively dark horse at a big price. Now down to a mark of 82, this seven-year-old is very well handicapped based on his best form and a big run may not be far away.

He failed to fully capitalise on a reduced mark last time out, but that came in a stronger Class 3, and he drops back into Class 4 company here for the first time in a while. Drawn in stall 5, Twilight Jet can break well and if doing so should be able to hold a good early position.

William Cox takes the ride and is a jockey who could be due a winner, while the yard are in decent form with a 20% strike-rate recently. Not without risks, but off this mark and at these odds, Twilight Jet is capable of outrunning his price and getting involved.

Andab

J: Billy Loughnane T: J P O'Brien
Race Winner
5/2

Reason for Tip

Irish raider Andab has made a very respectable start to career thus far with decent form in Group 2’s and 3’s including a second at Deauville, a win in a listed event at Dundalk and then another second lto in Doha. Looks a major threat in this race despite a 3lb penalty and has form over this trip. Small field race so draw not overly as important and Andab remains open to plenty of further progress still. Best form on paper and could be too much to handle for the rest of them today in a weaker affair than recent runs. Top jockey aboard in Billy Loughnane only furthers appeal and looks a likely winner today.

Silent Strike

J: Oisin Murphy T: A M Balding
Race Winner
19/5

Reason for Tip

Warm handicap here in the second on the card at Newcastle and one who looks a major contender on handicap debut is Silent Strike from the Balding yard. Not the most lenient of opening marks but has looked a smart youngster in first three races and is a nicely bred three year old who looks promising. Represents a yard and jockey who have won this race in both its forms for the last three years and Silent Strike looks to have a great chance at furthering that statistic. Does have a wide draw to contend with and has been running on the prominent side of things so far so will require a decent start but has a very talented jockey aboard in Oisin Murphy so should be fine. Yard and jockey both firing at the moment and Oisin has a stellar 43% course strikerate here in the last 2 years. Major player.

Moments Of Joy

J: R L Moore T: A P O'Brien
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Very interesting lineup here with the market favourite being Faiyum from the Lyons yard who had a cracking year as a three year old. However preference is for three year old Moments Of Joy who is no slouch either and was a very credible third in the Chesham at Ascot and wasn’t disgraced in the Group 1 fillies mile at Newmarket. Whilst decent as a two year old, Moments Of Joy just looked one of those horses who will excel as a three year old and a chance is taken on that prediction being right. Unexposed to this forecasted soft ground but on pedigree should be fine and has a plum draw from stall 1. Represents a major yard who’ve started the season strongly and has one of the best around in Ryan Moore. Big chance for Moments Of Joy to start life as a three year old with a win.

Wonder

J: Taryn Langley T: J R Fanshawe
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race and one who looks primed for a big performance is five year old Wonder. Strong recently form including two runs at this course and form this year reads 212. Remains on a very workable mark after only going up a 1lb after the close second last time and looks a big danger today. Has a strong draw from stall 2 to race in preferred position and has a good apprentice aboard in Taryn Langley. Yard going very well at the moment and often do well at this track and would be no surprise to see Wonder go in here today.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

🏇 Crackerjacque – 12.20 Sandown (10/3)

Trainer: A J Honeyball | Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies

A trappy opener at Sandown but Crackerjacque looks well placed back in calmer waters. He won here on heavy groundthis time last year and returned from a break with a solid Fontwell victory in November. His last run at Sandown came in Grade 2 company, which he found too hot, but this drop back into Class 3 looks ideal.

The ground will be right up his street, the trip poses no issues, and Sam Twiston-Davies is a positive jockey booking. Everything points towards a big run.


🏇 Afadil – 1.43 Musselburgh (7/2)

Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Jockey: Freddie Keighley

Afadil has an excellent record in this race, having won in 2024 and finished runner-up last year. He was travelling strongly here last time before a late mistake cost him dearly, suggesting he remains in good heart.

The forecast good to soft ground is ideal, this renewal looks winnable, and the Nicholls yard boasts a 36% strike-rate at Musselburgh. Another bold bid looks very likely.


🏇 Knight Templar – 3.20 Lingfield (9/2)

Trainer: R Stephens | Jockey: Hector Crouch

A versatile and progressive five-year-old who continues to improve with racing. Knight Templar returned to the Flat with a strong win last time, shaping as though there is more to come.

The Stephens yard are in fine form, running at a 20% strike-rate over the last 30 days, and Hector Crouch reunites with the horse after steering him to victory last time. Major player once again.


🏇 Midnight’s Dream – 5.55 Newcastle (13/2)

Trainer: Roger Varian | Jockey: Jack Mitchell

Midnight’s Dream looks dangerously well handicapped now after a below-par 2025 campaign. His return at Kempton in first-time blinkers was much more encouraging, finishing fifth and shaping as though fitness was the missing piece.

He should come on for that run, this race is not strong, and Jack Mitchell is a significant positive with a 21% strike-rate riding for Varian at Newcastle. Big chance of a return to form.

Tipmans's Final Word

Saturday’s racing offers plenty of opportunity, with Crackerjacque and Afadil looking solid Lucky 15 material, while Kitzbuhel  stands out as a confident NAP. For those chasing value, Twighlight Jet could easily surprise at a massive price if the blinkers do the trick.
