Carnival Queen

J: Billy Loughnane T: C Appleby
Race Winner
29/25

Reason for Tip

Expensive filly at 350,000gns and was clearly green on debut here back in October when slowly away and unsettled. Very nicely bred youngster who is related to the likes of Canberra Legend and is a very smart prospect. Not unusual for the Appleby horses to take a huge step forward on second start and given the greenness on show on debut, it could be a dramatic leap. Runs the same trip which seems positive and looks capable of leaving this field comfortably behind today. Top jockey aboard in Billy Loughnane who is no stranger to success here and when he’s ridden for the Appleby yard in the last two years, they’ve combined to win 43% of races. Looks the winner.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Machete – 3.15 Newcastle – 6/5

Trainer: D O’Meara
Jockey: Mark Winn

Machete has been running consistently well on the all-weather and looks primed to strike. He has a clear preference for this surface, with two wins from seven AW starts, and has gone very close on his last two outings here, including a narrow second last time out.

He remains very well treated, drops back to a suitable 1m2f, and benefits from a plum draw that should allow him to get ideally positioned early. The O’Meara yard are in fine form at Newcastle and Mark Winn takes the ride. Looking through the opposition, many can be opposed, while Machete looks rock solid.
Strong NAP – looks set to deliver.

Jack The Boss

J: Theo Gillard T: D McCain Jnr
Race Winner
16/1

Reason for Tip

Wide open large field race this 1.38 and some bookies paying 5 places and one who looks set to compete for one of them is four year old Jack The Boss from the McCain yard. Won on debut in a junior hurdle at Wetherby and given he refused on seasonal debut this year, has only ran once this season lto at Sedgefield and clearly needed the run. Can put a line through that performance and this boy is likely to strip much fitter today, clearly has ability which he’s already shown and looks to have a solid reasonable chance in this on handicap debut. Yard going alright and a good booking in Theo Gillard. Capable of a big run and we may see that today.

🎯 Dark Horse

Punta Del Este – 12.40 Ascot – 20/1

Trainer: David Pipe
Jockey: Rian Corcoran

Punta Del Este is very well treated on previous form and is now 5lb below his last winning mark, further helped by Rian Corcoran’s 10lb apprentice claim. That combination alone makes him interesting at the prices.

He clearly needed his seasonal debut when pulled up but showed improvement last time at Exeter when finishing fifth and should strip fitter again today. The trip is ideal, ground conditions hold no fears, and he represents a yard more than capable of readying one for a big run.

This is a competitive race, but with bookmakers paying four places, Punta Del Este looks more than capable of outrunning 20/1 and sneaking into the frame — and with a bit of luck, even more.
Big price, genuine chance.

Cobbler's Boy

J: Tristan Durrell T: D Skelton
Race Winner
39/10

Reason for Tip

Five year old with three starts under his belt and form of 821. Got up to win lto when making all at Warwick in May. Obviously has a break to contend with but all runs so far have been a couple of months apart and seems to go well fresh, yard also know how to ready them. Definitely not seen the best of this unexposed youngster yet and he’s taken to progress again here and looks a major threat in this field. Debut at Haydock today but both ground and trip are fine and represents a major yard with a good record here. Tristan Durrell has really been proving himself of late and gets the ride, lots to like and a likely winner.

Bad

J: Ben Jones T: B Pauling
Race Winner
43/10

Reason for Tip

Bad is a six year old from the Pauling yard who has impressed on a number of occasions recently. Has won twice at Kempton since March this year and returned on seasonal debut after a long break to grab that second win there. Ran a very good race in the Paddypower gold cup at Cheltenham lto and was only beaten by the hill really. Drops back in trip slightly here to a preferred trip and to a course he enjoys. Yard are in good form and Ben Jones gets the ride. Bad is generally pretty consistent over this trip and will make the running and is largely clean over the fences. Big chance, looks primed to take this.

Mondo Man

J: Caoilin Quinn T: G & J Moore
Race Winner
17/5

Reason for Tip

Four year old Mondo Man has yet to win over hurdles in the four runs over them, however he returned for seasonal debut at Lingfield lto and was only beaten by a very smart horse. Has contested Grade 1’s and 2’s and he remains a promising type who has to be taken seriously today. Should strip fitter for the run out last time and gets an ideal trip and ground combination today. Has ran here once before over hurdles and was a creditable second. Yard having a very successful spell and Mondo Man is taken to continue that success and win this.

Maywedance

J: H Crouch T: N & W Twiston-Davies
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Three year old who took time to get going but she finally got up after 13 races to win lto at Kempton. Doesn’t have the best course form hence the price and the return here is a question mark but it’s not unusual for young fillies to kick on for their first win and that’s what Maywedance is taken to do. This isn’t a strong race, the yard are in great form and this filly has a top jockey aboard today in Hector Crouch who has a great record here. She ran a little more prominently than normal when winning lto and so expecting a similar tactic here. Good chance.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

1️⃣ Titanium Ring – 12.18 Uttoxeter – 15/2

Trainer: H D Daly
Jockey: Stan Sheppard

Very unexposed four-year-old who shaped well on debut in a Hexham NHF, finishing second. Makes his hurdling debut today and looks a nice prospect on pedigree. This race looks open behind the short-priced favourite, who is also hurdling for the first time. At the odds, Titanium Ring offers value and is open to plenty of improvement.


2️⃣ Sound And Vision – 1.05 Southwell – 11/4

Trainer: Ed Walker
Jockey: Kieren Shoemark

Progressive two-year-old filly with form of 543 who drops back to a shorter trip today — a clear positive given her best run came over 5f. Drawn well in stall 3, remains unexposed, and has a top jockey booked. In what looks a modest Class 5, Sound And Vision has strong claims.


3️⃣ Sea The Day – 3.35 Ascot – 11/2

Trainer: Dan Skelton
Jockey: Harry Skelton

Made an impressive debut in a Chepstow NHF and looks a strong prospect to make a winning start over hurdles. The Skelton yard excel with first-time hurdlers and have an excellent record at Ascot. Well bred, well prepared, and likely to take plenty of beating.


4️⃣ Ramon Di Loria – 6.45 Newcastle – 7/2

Trainer: Ewan Whillans
Jockey: C J Orr

A two-time course and distance winner who returns to his preferred 5f on a very workable mark. Drawn well in stall 3 and aided by a 3lb apprentice claim, this looks his best opportunity in a while to return to winning ways in a weak-looking contest.
