Macktoad

J: Caoilin Quinn T: G & J Moore
Race Winner
11/10

Reason for Tip

Macktoad is an unexposed three year old from the Moore yard who has impressed greatly so far. Bought for six figures after winning French Bumper in May before winning in very nice style after 6 months off for new yard at Sandown earlier this month. Remains open to plenty of further progress and whilst this is a warmer race, Macktoad is priced at 1/1 for a reason, looks a very smart prospect and a relatively simple youngster who just gets the job done. Trip is the same as lto and ground looks suited. Represents a yard who has won this race twice in the last five years and they have a very good chance at taking the win again today. Caoilin Quinn aboard for the ride and Macktoad could prove too strong for this lot today.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Konfusion is a horse right at the top of his game and continues to improve with every run. He made a winning seasonal return here at Wetherby before an unfortunate unseat next time out, but bounced back in emphatic fashion when romping home by 15 lengths in the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle last time out.

The handicapper has tried to put a stop to him with a 10lb rise, but Konfusion looked well ahead of his mark when last seen and still appears to have plenty in hand. He boasts solid course form, arrives in peak condition, and the yard are absolutely flying at present. Callum Bewley retains the ride and when this jockey-and-yard combination link up, they operate at an excellent 33% strike-rate.

All signs point to another bold showing and Konfusion looks more than capable of defying the rise to land the NAP.

Greyval

J: J J Burke T: F O'Brien
Race Winner
14/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old Greyval from the O’Brien yard was a strong hurdler who has since been sent chasing on last two starts. Debut chase was a close second at Huntingdon before failing to fire on any cylinders at Cheltenham lto. Remains unexposed in this discipline and showed promise at Huntingdon so a line can be drawn through the run lto, which was arguably just too short a trip. Remains very unexposed at this distance and the last she ran this far, was that 2nd place chasing debut. Looks to prefer the longer trips and so lots to like today on ground that she will enjoy. Pretty open race and would be no surprise to see Greyval competing at the end and with a bit of luck, could get up for the win at a lovely price.

🎯 Dark Horse

Il Est Francais – 2.30 Kempton (16/1 EW)

Trainer: T R George
Jockey: Harry Cobden

The King George VI Chase is the centrepiece of Boxing Day racing and a race where course form and experience often count for plenty. Il Est Francais may not be the force he once promised to be, but he retains plenty of ability and has a very solid record around Kempton.

He was runner-up in this race last year, finishing second to Banbridge, and notably that run came after a disappointing effort on his seasonal return — a pattern we’ve seen again this year. History tells us he can bounce back strongly, especially when returning to a track he clearly enjoys.

With Harry Cobden booked and conditions to suit, Il Est Francais could easily outrun his odds if producing something close to his best. At 16/1, he looks a cracking each-way play in a race where surprises are never ruled out.

As Legends Have It

J: Beau Morgan T: B Pauling
Race Winner
28/5

Reason for Tip

Six year old As Legends Have It has been knocking on the door consistently for a while now. Form since January this year reads 33233 and whilst the win has been elusive, hasn’t been far away. Remains on a very workable mark and the switch to Wetherby could be the change needed. Yard going along nicely and Beau Morgan aboard with his 5lb apprentice allowance. Trip and ground are suited and we will no doubt see another contesting run from this serial placer but absolutely has a chance for win purposes and is taken to do so.

Ambion View

J: Brendan Powell T: J Tizzard
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Ambion view has started this season well with two second place finishes in the two runs so far. This is a slighter warmer race today but from what we’ve already seen Ambion View seems to be progressing nicely this term and is likely to do so again today. Gets ideal trip and on ideal ground at a course the Tizzards have had success at previously. Pretty wide open race but it looks right up this six year olds street and it would be no surprise to see Ambion View win this today.

Viroflay

J: Miss Olive Nicholls T: P F Nicholls
Race Winner
11/2

Reason for Tip

Top weight Viroflay arrives here in fantastic form which reads 21222 with the latter two being on first two starts this campaign. This eight year old generally loves this course and has won and finished second in last two starts at the track. Looks primed and ready for this after two strong seasonal run outs and trip is fine, along with favourable ground. Olive Nicholls and her 5lb apprentice allowance are aboard for the ever imposing Nicholls yard. They have a fantastic record at this course and if Viroflay is even close to being on full song, could take this nicely.

Get An Attitude

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin T: K R Burke
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Get An Attitude is an unexposed 2 year old form the Burke stable who ran a very solid race on debut lto at Newcastle when second despite showing some hints of greenness. Likely to take a big step forward today and goes up in trip very slightly which on pedigree is a positive. Yard have had an outstanding year with their two year olds and this one is taken to improve beyond rivals today and get the job done second time of asking. Yard have a great record here, has an ok draw and has a good jockey aboard in Pierre-Louis Jamin. Lots to like and likely winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Florita – 12.27 Wetherby (15/8)

Trainer: S England
Jockey: Callum Bewley

Florita is a fairly modest hurdler who looks to have found her calling over fences. She made a positive return when fourth at Southwell before making a winning chasing debut last time out, doing so comfortably off a very workable mark. A 9lb rise doesn’t look enough to stop her, especially given how easily she jumped and travelled on debut. Another weak-looking race and a yard in red-hot form make her a leading contender.


Wendigo – 1.20 Kempton (5/2)

Trainer: Jamie Snowden
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan

Wendigo is a tough and talented type who has consistently shown ability at a high level. A runner-up effort behind The New Lion in the Challow and a solid Albert Bartlett performance highlight his quality. He was clearly primed when winning a Grade 2 at Newbury last time out and now returns to 3 miles, a trip well within his compass. He thrives on testing conditions and with Gavin Sheehan aboard, looks a major player once again.


Hint Of Humour – 3.00 Wolverhampton (4/1)

Trainer: A W Carroll
Jockey: William Carson

This progressive three-year-old filly is thriving and arrives seeking a fourth win from her last four starts (one disqualification). She’s only 3lb higher for her most recent success and that looks lenient based on how she’s been finishing her races. She’s a course specialist, drawn well in stall two, and should be delivered late over her favoured 5f trip. Another bold showing looks very likely.


Blenkinsop – 2.15 Aintree (5/2)

Trainer: H D Daly
Jockey: David Bass

Blenkinsop is a talented hurdler who has taken very well to fences, winning on his second chasing start after a promising effort at Cheltenham. He’s clearly the most unexposed chaser in the field, with significant scope for improvement still to come. The trip is ideal, ground conditions hold no fears, and his current mark looks more than workable. Another forward step is expected under a strong ride from David Bass.
