Todays NAP of the Day

17 Apr 15:42
Darley EBF Novice Stakes - Newbury

Shabab Al Ahli

J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby

Race Winner

6/5

Reason for Tip

Talented three year old from the Appleby yard who is beautifully bred and despite being green, left them for dead on debut at Southwell in February. That was no slouch of a race either with some nicely bred youngsters including a Frankel colt and they were no match for Shabab Al Ahli. Hold entries in the Dante and Derby and looks set for a big year. Plenty of scope and progression also very likely, trip is in ideal range and represents a top yard with a fantastic jockey aboard in Buick. Yard win very often at this course and Buick has a 44% fortnightly strikerate. They combine very successfully together at this course and this youngster is very much the one to beat today. Very likely winner.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Hassaleh – 4:10 Newmarket (5/4)

Three-year-old Hassaleh looks one of the standout runners on the card today and gets the nod as our NAP of the Day.

The Night Of Thunder filly made a promising, if slightly green, debut at Windsor last June and hasn’t been seen since. However, she represents the powerful Charlie Appleby yard, who excel with improving three-year-olds, particularly at this track.

There’s already been notable market support, shortening from 11/8 into 5/4, which only strengthens confidence. Drawn well in stall 3, she looks primed for significant improvement.

With William Buick aboard and the Appleby/Buick combination boasting a strong strike rate here, everything points towards a big run.

👉 Why it’s the NAP:

Huge potential for improvement
Strong yard + jockey combo
Market confidence behind her
Ideal draw and conditions

Verdict: Likely winner and the strongest bet on the card.

Dubai Days

J: Bruce Lynn T: N W Alexander

Race Winner

20/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 3.30 at Ayr and one who’s a big price but has some promise is veteran 12yo Dubai Days. Very effective here at Ayr with five wins from eleven starts and does his best running at this time of year historically. Not disgraced at all in recent performances and whilst this is a warmish race, there is big question marks over a lot of this field and Dubai Days has a little less to answer than some. Effective on this ground and at this trip and looks a massive price at 20/1. More than capable of outrunning that at this course and might do just that. Outside chance, but very much a chance nonetheless.

🎯 Dark Horse

Tara Iti – 4:57 Hereford (18/1)

If you’re looking for a value play, Tara Iti fits the bill perfectly as today’s Dark Horse.

Once a very capable performer, winning eight hurdle races earlier in her career, she’s since dropped to a very attractive handicap mark following a quiet spell. Now with the Brennan yard, she hasn’t fired yet — but that’s exactly why she’s dangerously well-treated.

Conditions look ideal, and this wide-open contest could be the perfect opportunity for a revival. The booking of promising apprentice Oscar Palmer adds further appeal.

👉 Why it’s the Dark Horse:

Well below peak handicap mark
Proven ability in the past
Conditions in her favour
Open race with plenty of upside

Verdict: Big price and not one to ignore — solid each-way angle.

Castle Ivers

J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murophy

Race Winner

5/1

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Castle Ivers hasn’t been seen since November 2024 when he won a large field maiden at Warwick. Has contested Grade 2’s before and returns to action for handicap debut in a rather weak looking race. Obviously has the large absence to overcome but yard have a decent record with returners and have spoken highly of Castle Ivers in recent weeks. Sean Bowen aboard is always a positive, particularly when riding for the Murphy yard. If Castle Ivers does go well fresh today in suited conditions, will be very hard to beat and he’s taken to do just that.

Scheffler

J: Finlay Marsh T: Richard Hughes

Race Winner

5/1

Reason for Tip

Three year old Scheffler made debut last month at Lingfield and despite evident greenness on show, ran a decent race in the end and finished third. Entitled to come on a great deal for that run and is one of the most unexposed horses in the field. Drops back a furlong on trip today which on pedigree looks the right move and the only real obvious negative today is the wide draw from stall 9. Solid jockey booking will help with that and Finlay Marsh fits that bill. Yard has a good record at this course and when Finlay rides for them at this track, they enjoy a 23% strikerate together. Improvement likely and a win looks on the cards.

No More Bolero

J: Saffie Osborne T: James Owen

Race Winner

5/2

Reason for Tip

Seven year old No More Bolero returns to the flat today after a winter over the obstacles. Strong performances recently with a win at Ludlow and third at Sedgefield lto in December. Does go well fresh and is well treated for flat return today based on his close call at Chester last year. This is not a strong race and it won’t take a great deal of winning. No More Bolero will see out the trip with no concern and acts on this ground. From a respected and successful yard with a good jockey aboard in Saffie. Owen yard have a 20% strikerate here in the last two years and No More Bolero is taken to get the job done on return to the flat in a very ordinary race.

Taratino

J: Bryan Carver T: J Tickle

Race Winner

4/1

Reason for Tip

Versatile six year old from the Tickle stable who has notched up wins both on the flat and over hurdles. Has ran well over the obstacles the last twice with a win at Taunton and close third lto at Plumpton. Increased mark does ask a question but Taritino is an inform horse who can’t be discounted. Trip and ground are both positives and in form Bryan Carver gets the ride. Bryan has a good track record and boasts a 33% strikerate in the last two weeks. If Taratino can produce another strong performance today should go very close again and would not be a surprise winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Here’s today’s Lucky 15, combining four runners with strong chances and value 👇

Different Opinions – 2:00 Ripon (9/2)

A likely improver for the Karl Burke yard. Didn’t quite build on debut last time, but the drop in trip looks a big positive on pedigree.

Well drawn in stall 4, and with Pierre-Louis Jamin riding well, this looks a great opportunity.

Why it wins: Course stats, draw, and expected improvement.

Hawk Mountain – 3:35 Newmarket (7/2)

A top-class Ballydoyle colt trained by Aidan O’Brien, with form figures of 5111 including a Group 1 win.

Returns after a break but the yard know how to prepare one, and with Ryan Moore booked, he’s a major player.

Why it wins: Class edge, strong form, elite connections.

Sailor Batt – 4:52 Ripon (5/1)

Still a maiden but knocking on the door, and this looks a weak race. Returns to turf on a workable mark with conditions ideal.

Connor Beasley is a positive booking and the yard looks due a winner.

Why it wins: Consistency, weak opposition, ideal setup.

Sherborne – 6:00 Hereford (7/4)

Chasing a hat-trick and arrives in top form after back-to-back wins. Has taken rises in the weights in stride and still looks ahead of the handicapper.

Trainer Joe Tizzard has a strong record here, and Freddie Gingell is riding with confidence.

Why it wins: Form, momentum, and strong course record.
