Todays NAP of The Day

18 Jul 15:53 - Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap - Ripon
18 Jul 15:53
Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap - Ripon

Wild Violet

J: O J Orr T: M L W Bell
Race Winner
5/4

Reason for Tip

Contesting the 3.53 Sky Bet Summer Festival Handicap at Ripon today, Wild Violet appears to be a filly firmly on the upgrade. Trained by Michael Bell, the 3yo shed her maiden status in determined fashion over this exact distance at Salisbury just over a month ago. That breakthrough victory followed two highly promising placed efforts, highlighting a beautifully consistent and progressive profile. Making her handicap debut today off a workable opening mark of 77, she remains entirely unexposed and looks exactly the type of 3yo who can continue to flourish as she gains more racing experience. With Oisin Orr taking the ride, her proven stamina and natural tactical speed make her a highly dangerous prospect in this grade. Boasting the physical scope to keep improving throughout the summer, she has every chance of stringing together a winning sequence.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Wild Violet – 3:53 Ripon (5/4)

Wild Violet is Saturday’s NAP as the progressive three-year-old looks to build on her breakthrough victory.

The Michael Bell-trained filly opened her account over this distance at Salisbury last month following two encouraging placed efforts. That consistency suggests she is heading firmly in the right direction.

She now makes her handicap debut from an opening mark of 77 and remains open to further improvement. With Oisin Orr booked for the ride, Wild Violet looks to hold leading claims of continuing her progression.

NAP Selection: Wild Violet – 5/4

18 Jul 15:37
Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes - Newbury

Final Appeal

J: C Lee T: K R Burke
Race Winner
16/1

Reason for Tip

Lining up in the highly lucrative Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes at 3.37 today, Final Appeal represents a fascinating contender for the in-form K. R. Burke stable. The 2yo bay gelding impressed when making all the running to win comfortably at Wolverhampton in April, building perfectly on a narrow defeat on his debut at Nottingham. Although he was safely held when finishing fifth on his most recent outing at Chester in May, he has been given a considerate 73-day break to freshen up for this specific target. The application of a first-time tongue strap today could yield further progression for the young 2yo. Crucially, stable jockey Clifford Lee has actively chosen to ride him over other stablemates, providing a massive vote of confidence. Armed with early natural speed and untapped potential, this appealing juvenile possesses the class to outrun his current odds.

🎯 Dark Horse

Final Appeal – 3:37 Newbury (16/1)

At a much bigger price, Final Appeal is Saturday’s Dark Horse selection in the Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes.

Karl Burke’s two-year-old showed plenty of early promise when winning at Wolverhampton in April after a narrow defeat on debut. Although his latest run at Chester was less impressive, he returns following a 73-day break and is fitted with a first-time tongue strap.

The booking of Clifford Lee is another positive, and Final Appeal’s natural early speed makes him an interesting contender at 16/1.

Dark Horse Selection: Final Appeal – 16/1

Nobotheratall

J: Harry Reed T: T Davidson
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Nobotheratall arrives at the 1.35 betway.com Novices’ Hurdle at Market Rasen today presenting a highly solid profile for trainer Tristan Davidson. The 6yo bay gelding demonstrated a renewed zest for racing when successfully reverting to front-running tactics to break his maiden over two miles at Kelso in May. He subsequently proved that performance was no fluke, running just as well to secure a creditable second-place finish at Hexham in his most recent outing. Retaining the services of jockey Harry Reed, the 6yo arrives here today in fine fettle and looks perfectly placed to remain competitive. Although stepping up in distance to two miles and five furlongs, his much-improved ability to settle during recent races strongly suggests this longer trip is well within his compass. Boasting a progressive profile, he holds excellent claims to be right in the mix at the finish line.

Hallgarten And Novum Wines Hackwood Stakes - Newbury

Symbol Of Honour

J: William Buick T: C Appleby
Race Winner
7/2

Reason for Tip

Lining up for the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at 3.02 today, Symbol Of Honour makes plenty of appeal as he returns to a venue that clearly brings out his best performances. Trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by William Buick, the Godolphin-owned 4yo grey gelding holds exceptional course-and-distance credentials, having decisively claimed the Listed Carnarvon Stakes over this track and trip during a progressive campaign. He recently shaped with distinct promise when finishing a close third in the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle, indicating he is nearing his peak. Connections report that the 4yo has come forward beautifully since that Newcastle reappearance and heads into this contest in optimal condition. Benefiting from a return to a familiar track where he has consistently thrived, this talented sprinter possesses the underlying class required to mount a serious challenge for the main prize.

Ziggy's Avenger

J: Hector Crouch T: M L W Bell
Race Winner
5/2

Reason for Tip

Taking to the track in the 4.52 National Stud ‘Confined’ Handicap at Newmarket today, Ziggy’s Avenger looks eminently capable of bouncing back to winning ways. The Michael Bell-trained 3yo bay gelding secured a well-deserved victory over one mile at Ripon in early June, confirming the distinct promise he had previously shown on the all-weather at Kempton. While he could only manage fifth in his most recent outing at Windsor thirty-three days ago, that run is easily forgiven, as he was repeatedly denied a clear run and never found the room to fully open up in the closing stages. Remaining on a very workable handicap mark of 69 and with Hector Crouch in the saddle, the 3yo steps up to a mile and a quarter today. This unexposed sort looks perfectly poised to put that unfortunate recent run behind him and deliver a bold, prominent showing.

Sound and Vision

J: Ashley Lewis T: Ed Walker
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Sound and Vision returns to action in the 7.00 Fillies’ Handicap at Nottingham today, and there are plenty of reasons to expect a bright performance from Ed Walker’s lightly raced 3yo. The bay filly displayed steady progression on synthetic surfaces over the winter, culminating in a smart maiden victory at Southwell in December. While she disappointed slightly when finishing fifth on her handicap debut at Newcastle in January, she was sent off as the odds-on favourite that day, highlighting the high regard in which she is clearly held by her yard. Returning from a 189-day break today, the 3yo tackles turf for the first time, a surface switch which could easily unlock further improvement. With the highly capable 5lb claiming jockey Ashley Lewis taking over the reins to ease her weight burden, she remains a fascinating prospect with genuine potential to progress.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Nobotheratall – 1:35 Market Rasen (5/1)

Nobotheratall arrives at Market Rasen in encouraging form for trainer Tristan Davidson.

The six-year-old returned to winning ways at Kelso in May when positive front-running tactics helped him break his maiden over two miles. He backed that performance up with a solid second at Hexham on his latest outing, suggesting he remains in good heart.

Today’s step up to two miles and five furlongs presents a new challenge, but his improved ability to settle gives confidence that the longer trip could suit. With Harry Reed retaining the ride, Nobotheratall looks capable of another competitive showing.

Selection: Nobotheratall – 5/1

Symbol Of Honour – 3:02 Newbury (7/2)

Symbol Of Honour makes plenty of appeal in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes as he returns to a course and distance where he has previously performed strongly.

The Charlie Appleby-trained runner has already shown his ability at Newbury and arrives after finishing a close third in Group 3 company at Newcastle.

With William Buick in the saddle and a return to familiar surroundings, Symbol Of Honour has the class and course credentials to play a major role.

Selection: Symbol Of Honour – 7/2

Ziggy’s Avenger – 4:52 Newmarket (5/2)

Ziggy’s Avenger could be worth another chance after enduring a difficult passage on his latest appearance at Windsor.

Michael Bell’s three-year-old had previously secured a deserved victory over a mile at Ripon and remains relatively unexposed. He steps up to a mile and a quarter today while racing from a workable handicap mark of 69.

With Hector Crouch taking the ride, Ziggy’s Avenger looks well placed to leave his latest effort behind and return to form.

Selection: Ziggy’s Avenger – 5/2

Sound and Vision – 7:00 Nottingham (6/1)

Sound and Vision is an interesting contender as she returns from a 189-day absence and makes her first appearance on turf.

The lightly raced three-year-old showed promise on the all-weather last year, including a maiden victory at Southwell. Although disappointing when sent off favourite on her handicap debut at Newcastle, she remains open to plenty of improvement.

The switch to turf could bring out more, while Ashley Lewis’ 5lb claim provides an additional advantage.

Selection: Sound and Vision – 6/1

Tipmans's Final Word

Wild Violet is our NAP of the Day as she makes her handicap debut following a maiden victory, while Final Appeal offers the bigger-priced option as our 16/1 Dark Horse.
