NAP of the Day 11.12.25

Newbrook Diamond

J: Jack Kennedy T: G Elliott
Race Winner
6/5

Reason for Tip

Five year old Newbrook Diamond made debut last month at Naas and put in a very credible run when finishing second. Looked to be a pretty smart hurdler and is open to plenty of progression, something we regularly see from the Elliot yards second time runners. Drops back in trip slightly here which seems a plus on pedigree. Bar the Mullins runners, doesn’t really seem like the rest are up to that much frankly and it’s likely between the three at the head of the market. Newbrook Diamond showed plenty of promise in that debut run and is taken to get the job done today under a positive ride from stable jockey Jack Kennedy.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Laughing John — 1.58 Doncaster — 13/8

Trainer: Nicky Henderson
Jockey: James Bowen

Laughing John is a lightly raced four-year-old with only three career starts and form figures of 3-2-U. He was travelling strongly and looked like the likely winner when unseating late at Chepstow last time out. That run can be forgiven, and his profile suggests there is plenty more to come.

He returns after a break since April, so freshness is a small question, but Henderson runners traditionally go well off layoffs, and Bowen takes the ride — a huge positive considering the pair share a 22% strike rate at Doncaster.
This is a weak handicap for the grade and Laughing John may not need to be fully tuned to take advantage. A strong selection and today’s NAP.

Queen Of Astolat

J: K Shoemark T: C Fellowes
Race Winner
14/1

Reason for Tip

Queen Of Astolat was a modest fifth of eight at Nottingham lto on debut. Looked very green that day and is likely to come on a lot for the experience and bred to be much better than that. Goes up in trip slightly here which looks favourable on pedigree and Queen Of Astolat has a good draw out of stall 3. She sat towards the rear lto which doesn’t often work as well at Nottingham as it can at a track like Chelmsford so if the same tactic is employed, should fare better. Is capable of a big run and whilst yard are running a bit cool at the moment, they do have a good course record with an 18% strikerate at the course. Top jockey booked in Kieren Shoemark who knows how to win at this track and there is positives to her chances today despite the odds. Likely improver and has an outside chance.

🎯 Dark Horse

Can You Call — 2.25 Cheltenham — 9/1

Trainer: Evan Williams
Jockey: Ben Jones

This reliable ten-year-old clearly came on for his seasonal return at Fontwell, improving significantly when third here at Cheltenham behind Eldorado Allen last time. He remains on a fair mark and looks poised to take another step forward.

The return to 2m4f on today’s ground is ideal, and with proven jumping ability and stamina, Can You Call has the tools to stay in contention deep into the race. Ben Jones is an excellent booking, and with a bit of luck, this veteran could easily outrun his odds and land a surprise win. A live Dark Horse.

She's Notjoeking

J: Gregor Walkingshaw T: L Russell & M Scudamore
Race Winner
2/1

Reason for Tip

Five year old She’s Notjoeking has shown consistency and progression so far this term with form of 443 since returning. The third lto was positive and wasn’t miles away that day. Runs off the same mark here today but with Gregor Walkingshaw aboard with his 10lb apprentice allowance which puts this girl on a very tempting mark. Likely to take a big step forward today and both trip and ground are suited. Yard going very well at the moment over hurdles and likely to extend that run of form in this race too.

Knock Off Soxs

J: H Cobden T: K Woollacott
Race Winner
43/10

Reason for Tip

Youngster from the Woollacott yard who outran odds dramatically when finished second over C&D on debut lto at 25/1. Gets the same conditions here today and looks a big player if solidifying that ability here again. Should progress from the debut run and has a top jockey aboard in Harry Cobden. Lots of unexposed or first time runners in the race but Knock Off Soxs looks open to lots of progression and is taken to go one better today and win.

Jackpot D'ainay

J: S Bowen T: O Murphy
Race Winner
15/8

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent six year old from the Murphy yard with form of 3F133. Wasn’t beaten by much on seasonal debut lto at Carlisle and should be fitter and more primed after that run. This is arguably a weaker race than that one lto and Jackpot D’ainay looks a major player. Yard in very fine form with their hurdlers and they have a good record here at Carlisle. One of the best in the business aboard in Sean Bowen who enjoys regular success on Murphy horses and this boy could be hard to beat today.

Almaty Star

J: J Mitchell T: R M H Cowell
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Almaty Star was raised to a mark of 86 following some successes earlier this year including here at this track. Struggled on the revised mark but showed promise when going down a short second lto off a mark of 78. Runs off that same mark again today which is 5lb below highest winning mark. Does generally run well at this track and so we can expect another big run today. Has a plum draw out of stall 2 and Jack Mitchell retains the ride which is a positive. Lots to like off this mark and another win is coming soon and that could be today.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

1️⃣ Ladronne — 12.15 Doncaster — 3/1

T: J Parkinson & J Smith
Ladronne ended last season with a double and returned this year needing the run at Wetherby. He improved sharply for that effort when winning at Sedgefield last time out. Although the handicapper is creeping his mark up, he continues to progress and looks primed for another big run today under Jack Power and his handy 5lb claim.


2️⃣ Herakles Westwood — 1.50 Cheltenham — 13/2

T: Warren Greatrex
J: Sean Bowen
A very solid performer with 5 wins from 19 starts. Returned with an excellent second here at Cheltenham last time and should strip fitter today. Conditions suit perfectly, the track is ideal, and Sean Bowen is the perfect partner. A lively contender who shouldn’t be underestimated.


3️⃣ Lucky Manifest — 3.35 Cheltenham — 11/4

T: Tom Lacey
J: Stan Sheppard
Lucky Manifest arrives in great form with 2 wins and a 2nd in his last three starts. He ran extremely well when second at Cheltenham last time and now faces a mild rise in class — but still has some of the strongest form in this field. Improving with each run and highly likely to be there at the finish.


4️⃣ Sax Appeal — 7.30 Southwell — 4/1

T: Charlie Johnston
J: Daniel Muscutt
Ultra-consistent with figures of 1-1-2-3-4, Sax Appeal has been knocking on the door and remains attractively treated. Southwell suits him, he’s got an excellent draw, and Daniel Muscutt is a strong booking. Plenty to like and definitely one to keep onside.

💡 TipMan Professional Insights – Why These Free Racing Tips Work
  • Ladronne and Lucky Manifest both show classic “improving profile” indicators — horses who often win again.

  • Cheltenham form tends to repeat itself: both Herakles Westwood and Lucky Manifest handle the track extremely well.

  • Older handicappers like Can You Call often run huge races at a price early in the season once fitness is sharpened.

  • Henderson + Bowen at Doncaster is a very strong combination — key for understanding today’s NAP confidence.
