Race Winner

10/1

Reason for Tip

Bar the last run at Punchestown on seasonal debut, this five year old has been largely consistent and despite the form of 45540, has not finished more than single digit lengths behind the leader in four of those races. Should be a fitter horse for that run out lto and the switch to English soil may just be the change that sparks that little extra. Forecast good to soft is fine and this is over a trip that has become his norm. Not a great deal, if any experience on left handed tracks like Sedgefield and whilst that poses questions, it could also come to be something the horse handles nicely. Sean Quinlan not exactly firing in winners recently, however he does enjoy a particularly good record at this track which is a positive given it’s Newports course debut. Pretty open race and the bookies are paying 4 places at time of writing so every chance this boy sneaks a place and hopefully even better. Outside chance.

What Are Outsider Tips & Dark Horse Picks?

An outsider tip refers to a horse that’s considered an underdog — often priced at 8/1 or longer — but still has a legitimate chance of running well. Sometimes known as a dark horse, these are runners that go under the radar yet have the form, course history or conditions to surprise the field.

Unlike favourites, outsider betting is about value, not popularity. And that’s where TipMan come in!

Why Bet on Outsiders in Horse Racing?

Backing outsiders might not mean constant winners — but the profits when they land can be huge. Here’s why smart punters love betting on dark horses:

Better Odds = Better Returns – It only takes a few winners to be in profit
Bookies Miss Clues – Trainers in form, track biases, going changes
Each Way Value – Outsiders often sneak into places at big odds
Market Movers – When smart money lands on an outsider, you want to be early

How We Pick Our Outsider & Dark Horse Tips

We don’t just tip outsiders for the sake of it. The TipMan team analyse UK & Irish racecards each morning, looking for:

Form Analysis: Spotting signs of a bounce-back or hidden class
Trainer & Jockey Insight: Knowing when certain pairings strike unexpectedly
Conditions Matching: Finding runners suited to soft, heavy, or course-specific conditions
