Early Release

J: Oisin Murphy T: P D Evans
Race Winner
47/10

Reason for Tip

Two Kempton wins have flanked three poor runs at Wolverhampton and form reads 19081 since September. Won in fine style lto and has been hit by a 5lb penalty for that run but looks a very smart prospect for completing a double in this race at Southwell which on paper isn’t overly formidable. The slight drop in trip is not a negative and Early Release has a reasonable enough draw in stall 6. Does his best running from the front, both wins were front running victories and so whilst stall 6 isn’t perfect, Early Release has the benefit of Oisin Murphy aboard who won atop this horse at Kempton back in September. Likely to be under instruction to start fast and take prominent position which if he can achieve, Early Release will be tough to reel in. Oisin has a good record here and has a 33% strikerate when riding for the Evans yard. Early Rise is taken to defy the penalty and score again.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Early Release – 5:10 Southwell (15/8)

Our NAP of the Day is Early Release in the 5:10 at Southwell.

This progressive runner from the P D Evans yard arrives here after a strong win at Kempton and looks capable of completing a quick double despite carrying a 5lb penalty.

Early Release has proven that his best performances come when allowed to lead, and if he can break quickly from stall six and take up a prominent position early on, he will be extremely difficult to reel in. The slight drop in trip should not pose any issues and may actually help him maintain his speed late in the race.

Top jockey Oisin Murphy takes the ride again and has an excellent record when partnering Evans runners, with the pair operating at an impressive strike rate together. With his current form and tactical advantage, Early Release looks the one to beat in this contest.

Secret Squirrel

J: J J Burke T: H Morrison
Race Winner
14/1

Reason for Tip

County Hurdle time at Cheltenham and with the bookies paying up to 6 places and the festival throwing up many a winner in the double digits, Secret Squirrel looks a fine option for a nice priced place opportunity and not discounted from winning this either. Form reads 3F1F3 and the falls were both at the final face when in contention. Clearly remains on a very capable mark and bounced back nicely last time at Wincanton when a not so distant third in the Grade 2 Kingwell. Will stay the trip, will be fine on the ground and likely to take a step forward today in what looks to be a rather open renewal. Jonathan Burke aboard for the Morrison trained seven year old and they have a good record together. Does need a bit of in race fortune and a clean round of jumping but capable of outrunning this price and that’s what he’s taken to do.

🎯 Dark Horse

Secret Squirrel – 2:00 Cheltenham (16/1)

Our Dark Horse selection is Secret Squirrel in the competitive County Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Festival handicaps regularly produce big-priced winners and with bookmakers paying multiple places, Secret Squirrel offers excellent value each-way at 16/1.

The Morrison-trained seven-year-old has shown ability this season, with form figures reading 3F1F3. Both of his falls came at the final flight when still in contention, suggesting he is capable of being very competitive at this level.

His latest run in the Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton was particularly encouraging, finishing a respectable third behind high-quality opposition. Off a workable mark and with Jonathan Burke in the saddle, Secret Squirrel has the profile of a horse that could outrun his odds and potentially hit the frame at a big price.

Where's Cato

J: Conor Ring T: Mrs C Williams
Race Winner
29/5

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Where’s Cato was a little inconsistent in novices and maidens and has looked much better since going chasing in handicaps. Won chasing/handicap debut at Huntingdon over a similar trip and wasn’t disgraced at all on second chase start lto at Plumpton. Clearly remains on a workable mark and looks a major player today in first time cheekpieces. Ground is fine and makes first start today for new stable, the Williams yard. Conor Ring retains the ride and this race doesn’t look overly warm and shouldn’t take a great deal of winning. Where’s Cato looks set for another big run and wouldn’t be a surprise winner. Good chance.

Stone's Throw

J: C Gethings T: Billy Aprahamian
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Completed a quickfire double in December at Southwell and over C&D here. Upped in class lto and struggled on the softer ground so can be forgiven for that poor result. Very likely to bounce back today back at Doncaster on good ground which he loves. Is on career high mark but has been running very well for the last couple of months and has to be taken very seriously back in Class 3 company today. Only a mark 6 higher than his 8 length dominance back here two starts ago and looks to be capable of winning still. Ciaran Gethings aboard is a jockey change, but not a negative one, has a good record here at Doncaster with a 20% strikerate in the last two years and is also riding regular winners recently. Big player.

Macarone

J: Billy Loughnane T: I Furtado
Race Winner
32/5

Reason for Tip

Interesting race here headed by Ian Williams Beauzon who completed a six timer lto. However, a chance is taken on five year old Macarone from the Furtado yard. Macarone won twice over course and distance last year and after a few sub par runs elsewhere at 5f and 7f, returned to 6f here at Wolverhampton lto when a not distant fourth. Looking a little well treated currently and has a big chance today from a plum draw in stall 1. Likely to start well from this draw and runs his best races from the front and will get the chance to do that today in a race that’s very suited. 10/1 looks a shade too high and more than capable of putting in a run much better than those odds and not written out of winning this with in form Billy Loughnane aboard today who has a fortnightly strikerate of 35% and a solid course record to boot. Good chance.

Filly One

J: P J McDonald T: G R Oldroyd
Race Winner
9/4

Reason for Tip

In a race of horses struggling to find form, there is one stand out who isn’t struggling to contest recently and that’s five year old Filly One from the Oldroyd yard who has recorded two wins and a second in last five starts and 112 in last three AW starts. The second place lto over C&D was only a head and remains on a very competitive mark. Well drawn in stall 3 today at a course this five year old loves and looks like Filly One could be hard to peg back today. When yard and jockey have combined at this course in the last 2 years they share a 31% strikerate together and that’s an impressive statistic. Filly One looks the likely winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Where’s Cato – 2:14 Fakenham (7/2)
Where’s Cato has improved significantly since switching to chasing in handicaps. A winner on his chasing debut at Huntingdon, he followed that with a respectable run at Plumpton and remains on a workable mark. First-time cheekpieces could bring further improvement and he looks a major player in this field.

Stone’s Throw – 3:02 Doncaster (9/2)
Stone’s Throw was impressive when completing a double earlier in the season, including a dominant win over this course and distance. His last run can be forgiven due to unsuitable ground and a rise in class. Back on good ground and in Class 3 company, he looks capable of returning to winning ways.

Macarone – 5:05 Wolverhampton (10/1)
Macarone could offer excellent value at double-figure odds. A previous course-and-distance winner, he returned to form when finishing a close fourth last time over the same trip. Drawn perfectly in stall 1, he may get the lead and prove difficult to catch under in-form jockey Billy Loughnane.

Filly One – 6:20 Southwell (5/2)
Filly One is the most consistent horse in this field and has produced two wins and a second in recent starts on the all-weather. Her latest run over course and distance saw her beaten only by a head and she remains on a very competitive mark. From stall 3, she should enjoy an ideal trip and looks the likely winner.
