Todays NAP of the Day

Darley EBF Novice Stakes - Newbury

Shabab Al Ahli

J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby
Race Winner
6/5

Reason for Tip

Talented three year old from the Appleby yard who is beautifully bred and despite being green, left them for dead on debut at Southwell in February. That was no slouch of a race either with some nicely bred youngsters including a Frankel colt and they were no match for Shabab Al Ahli. Hold entries in the Dante and Derby and looks set for a big year. Plenty of scope and progression also very likely, trip is in ideal range and represents a top yard with a fantastic jockey aboard in Buick. Yard win very often at this course and Buick has a 44% fortnightly strikerate. They combine very successfully together at this course and this youngster is very much the one to beat today. Very likely winner.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Denemethy

3.50 Leicester | 11/8

Denemethy looks a standout in this small-field handicap chase and is taken as today’s NAP of the Day. The Fergal O’Brien-trained runner has been competing in far stronger company and drops back into Class 4 company for the first time since March last year.

He ran a solid race when fourth in a warm Class 2 at Sandown last time out, a race that has already been well franked with the winner following up in Grade 2 company. The trip and ground are ideal, and while he shoulders top weight, that looks fully justified on form.

Jockey J.J. Burke has been riding with confidence in recent weeks and has already partnered winners with this yard at Leicester. In a four-runner field, Denemethy looks a level above his rivals and should take plenty of beating.

NAP verdict: Strong class drop, ideal conditions, standout form.

Dubai Days

J: Bruce Lynn T: N W Alexander
Race Winner
20/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 3.30 at Ayr and one who’s a big price but has some promise is veteran 12yo Dubai Days. Very effective here at Ayr with five wins from eleven starts and does his best running at this time of year historically. Not disgraced at all in recent performances and whilst this is a warmish race, there is big question marks over a lot of this field and Dubai Days has a little less to answer than some. Effective on this ground and at this trip and looks a massive price at 20/1. More than capable of outrunning that at this course and might do just that. Outside chance, but very much a chance nonetheless.

🎯 Dark Horse

Hale End

3.55 Southwell | 17/2

There looks to be real each-way value in this wide-open Southwell contest, and Hale End makes plenty of appeal as today’s Dark Horse.

The six-year-old has a solid record at Southwell, including a recent course win, and can be forgiven his latest effort where he missed the break yet still wasn’t beaten far. He remains on a very workable mark and gets a notable jockey upgrade with Daniel Muscutt taking the ride.

Muscutt has been in flying form, operating at around a 30% strike-rate over the last 30 days, and a strong pace should suit Hale End perfectly. With several bookmakers paying four places, this looks a big price for a horse with proven course form.

Dark Horse verdict: Course specialist, strong pace setup, generous odds.

Castle Ivers

J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murophy
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Castle Ivers hasn’t been seen since November 2024 when he won a large field maiden at Warwick. Has contested Grade 2’s before and returns to action for handicap debut in a rather weak looking race. Obviously has the large absence to overcome but yard have a decent record with returners and have spoken highly of Castle Ivers in recent weeks. Sean Bowen aboard is always a positive, particularly when riding for the Murphy yard. If Castle Ivers does go well fresh today in suited conditions, will be very hard to beat and he’s taken to do just that.

Scheffler

J: Finlay Marsh T: Richard Hughes
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Three year old Scheffler made debut last month at Lingfield and despite evident greenness on show, ran a decent race in the end and finished third. Entitled to come on a great deal for that run and is one of the most unexposed horses in the field. Drops back a furlong on trip today which on pedigree looks the right move and the only real obvious negative today is the wide draw from stall 9. Solid jockey booking will help with that and Finlay Marsh fits that bill. Yard has a good record at this course and when Finlay rides for them at this track, they enjoy a 23% strikerate together. Improvement likely and a win looks on the cards.

No More Bolero

J: Saffie Osborne T: James Owen
Race Winner
5/2

Reason for Tip

Seven year old No More Bolero returns to the flat today after a winter over the obstacles. Strong performances recently with a win at Ludlow and third at Sedgefield lto in December. Does go well fresh and is well treated for flat return today based on his close call at Chester last year. This is not a strong race and it won’t take a great deal of winning. No More Bolero will see out the trip with no concern and acts on this ground. From a respected and successful yard with a good jockey aboard in Saffie. Owen yard have a 20% strikerate here in the last two years and No More Bolero is taken to get the job done on return to the flat in a very ordinary race.

Taratino

J: Bryan Carver T: J Tickle
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Versatile six year old from the Tickle stable who has notched up wins both on the flat and over hurdles. Has ran well over the obstacles the last twice with a win at Taunton and close third lto at Plumpton. Increased mark does ask a question but Taritino is an inform horse who can’t be discounted. Trip and ground are both positives and in form Bryan Carver gets the ride. Bryan has a good track record and boasts a 33% strikerate in the last two weeks. If Taratino can produce another strong performance today should go very close again and would not be a surprise winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Our Lucky 15 for Tuesday features four runners who all look capable of going very close at their respective tracks.

🔹 Myrighthandman

2.00 Catterick | 4/1
A progressive five-year-old from the Tom Lacey yard who has improved with each run over hurdles. His latest effort came in a stronger race than this, and he looks well suited by the trip and ground. Notably, this is the only runner Lacey sends on the long trip north, which catches the eye.


🔹 True Promise

3.42 Newcastle | 11/2
Consistent profile and still on a very workable mark. Drops back to 6f, which looks a positive, and has shown versatility in running style. With Callum Rodriguez booked and a fair draw, he looks a solid each-way player in a race he can win.


🔹 Pyleigh Court

4.50 Leicester | 9/4
Returned from a break with an impressive win at Wincanton and remains firmly on an upward curve over fences. The heavy ground is ideal, and the 7lb apprentice allowance makes him extremely well treated. Looks primed for another big run.


🔹 Lion Ring

7.30 Southwell | 7/2
Took advantage of a slipping mark when winning last time and has only been nudged up 1lb for that success. Likely to lead from the front, and if allowed an uncontested lead, could be very hard to peg back in what doesn’t look the strongest race.
