Quay Item

J: James Bowen T: N J Henderson
Race Winner
33/25

Reason for Tip

Interesting small field race here and on paper it’s between the two at the head of the market. Henderson trained Quay Item and Skelton trained Tormund Gladiator. Quay Item is more unexposed but Tormund is somewhat more experienced. Our NAP today is the unexposed Quay Item, looks a very smart hurdler in the making and was never challenged at Plumpton lto when winning in fine style. Remains open to bucket loads of improvement and progression and whilst this represents an increase in trip, it should no pose no problem and looks to have plenty of stamina to cope with the 3 miles. The Skelton horse is the main danger, but Harry and Dan when combining at Doncaster have not won a race in over 2 years here and are 0-12 at the track. Henderson and James Bowen on the other hand both have great records here and have a 30% strikerate together and are both going very well currently. Be an interesting race, but Quay Item looks like he will have the better of this lot today.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Quay Item

2.50 Doncaster | 11/8
Trainer: Nicky Henderson
Jockey: James Bowen

A fascinating small-field contest, but our NAP of the Day is the progressive Quay Item, who looks a very smart hurdler in the making. He was never challenged when winning at Plumpton last time out, travelling powerfully and asserting late with plenty left in the tank.

Despite this being a step up in trip to 3 miles, Quay Item shapes like a horse who will relish the distance and remains very unexposed compared to his main market rival. Henderson and Bowen boast an excellent strike-rate at Doncaster, while their principal opposition comes from a yard that has struggled to convert chances here in recent seasons.

With further improvement almost guaranteed, Quay Item sets a strong standard and looks the one to beat.

Flight Plan

J: S H James T: K R Burke
Race Winner
22/1

Reason for Tip

Decent race here in the 4.20 at Lingfield and one who looks a bit of a dark horse at a big price is six year old Flight Plan from the Burke yard. Has been out of sorts recently, particularly at Meydan for last three starts, however, has contested much deeper races than this at Group and Listed level and so the drop in class and return to the UK could spark a bit of a revival for Flight Plan today. Not been on the Tapeta for a good while but has won on this surface previously and so not an immediate negative. Decent draw in stall 5 and represents a top yard with a great jockey aboard. If Flight Plan can deliver even close to form of previous years in this weaker race he will likely go very close at a huge price. Risks attached, but not without chance. Interesting to see how it pans out.

🎯 Dark Horse

Flight Plan

4.20 Lingfield | 22/1
Trainer: K R Burke
Jockey: S H James

At a big price, Flight Plan looks a cracking Dark Horse for those hunting an outsider with genuine upside. While recent form in Meydan reads poorly, it’s important to note he has been competing in much deeper Group and Listed company.

The drop back in class, combined with a return to UK racing, could spark a revival. Flight Plan has previously won on Tapeta and is drawn well in stall 5, removing any major surface or tactical concerns.

If able to rediscover even a portion of his earlier form, he’s massively overpriced and could easily outrun his odds in this weaker field.

Muy Muy Loco

J: Mason Paetel T: S Dow
Race Winner
7/2

Reason for Tip

Has been a little inconsistent at times but does have plenty of ability and has won twice in his last four runs. Runs his usual 1m2f and after going up 4lb for the win lto, stable have booked Mason Paetel for the ride who takes off 3lb with his apprentice allowance. Should be therefore on a very workable mark still and this races no warmer than last time. Does have a wider draw to contend with but knows this course very well and has won from the outside in the past. Lots to like for Muy Muy Loco today who is probably the form pick and with the handicappers rise mostly offset, should be bang there again today.

As Fast As Wind

J: R T Dunne T: T Davidson
Race Winner
28/5

Reason for Tip

Six year old As Fast As Wind changed yards back in November and form since then reads 3662. Was not far away at all lto when going down second at Musselburgh and looks ready to grab a win. The drop to 2miles lto seemed to be a positive and so staying over that trip today looks to be the right decision. Has been progressive for new yard on the figures and may continue to be so. This race is definitely there for the taking and on suited ground As Fast As Wind looks to have a decent chance here. Good jockey booking in Dunne and would be no surprise to see this six year old feature today.

Peacenik

J: G Sheehan T: Katy Price
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open affair here in the last on the card at Newbury and low mileage seven year old Peacenik from the Price yard looks like a good thing here. Form since seasonal return reads 313 and remains on a very fair mark. Good record at this course and will thrive on the good to soft ground that’s forecasted. Goes up in trip for the first time to 3 miles today and on pedigree it should suit which makes Peacenik a very interesting proposition today. In prime fitness, is a good jumper and has a good engine and the extra yardage should be a good thing for him. Fantastic jockey aboard in Gavin Sheehan and is no stranger to success here. Big chance for Peacenik today, major player.

Coparisi

J: O McSweeney T: K A Ryan
Race Winner
38/5

Reason for Tip

Three year old youngster from the Ryan yard who finished her season as a two year old with a strong run at Redcar when second of eight. Progressive on all three handicap starts with form of 532 and returns from a break today looking to continue that progress. Returns to a 6f trip today which is no concern and makes course debut at Wolverhampton today. Not ran on the AW yet but is relating to a few horses with a good record on this surface and so can’t be ruled out. Drawn wide but starts well so can take position prominently if desired. Yard in good form and have a good record here and Oisin McSweeney gets the ride. Oisin has only ridden for Kevin at this track on three occasions but won one of them. Big chance for Coparisi today.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

A solid Lucky 15 with proven form, workable marks and strong jockey bookings:

🔹 Muy Muy Loco

1.42 Lingfield | 4/1
Two wins from his last four starts and the booking of apprentice Mason Paetel (3lb claim) offsets the recent rise from the handicapper. Course specialist who has won from wide draws before — big chance.

🔹 As Fast As Wind

3.22 Doncaster | 5/1
Progressing nicely since switching yards, with figures reading 3662. The drop to 2 miles has clearly helped and he looks primed to strike on suitable ground.

🔹 Peacenik

4.43 Newbury | 6/1
Low-mileage seven-year-old with form of 313 this season. Steps up to 3 miles for the first time but pedigree suggests it will suit. Strong jumper with Gavin Sheehan booked — major player.

🔹 Coparisi

6.45 Wolverhampton | 5/1
Progressive filly returning from a break after finishing her juvenile season strongly. Pedigree suggests AW will suit and Kevin Ryan’s yard is in good form here.
