Poetisa

J: Mr P W Mullins T: W P Mullins
Race Winner
8/11

Reason for Tip

Started life with a success in a warm bumper at Cheltenham when residing with the Bulgin yard. Now a part of the major Mullins yard and has ran a couple of crackers in defeat, lto behind a smart rival in a Listed even at Navan. Drops back down in grade today and looks the obvious answer here. Open to plenty more progression and this isn’t a strong bumper today. Course debut at Naas but should pose no concern, seems a consistent type and from a yard with a stellar record here. Patrick Mullins gets the ride and Poetisa could prove a class above this lot today. Should win.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Quay Item

2.50 Doncaster | 11/8
Trainer: Nicky Henderson
Jockey: James Bowen

A fascinating small-field contest, but our NAP of the Day is the progressive Quay Item, who looks a very smart hurdler in the making. He was never challenged when winning at Plumpton last time out, travelling powerfully and asserting late with plenty left in the tank.

Despite this being a step up in trip to 3 miles, Quay Item shapes like a horse who will relish the distance and remains very unexposed compared to his main market rival. Henderson and Bowen boast an excellent strike-rate at Doncaster, while their principal opposition comes from a yard that has struggled to convert chances here in recent seasons.

With further improvement almost guaranteed, Quay Item sets a strong standard and looks the one to beat.

Jimmy Hurdstrom

J: Stan Sheppard T: T Lacey
Race Winner
11/2

Reason for Tip

Six year old point winner from the Lacey yard who has been running very well in rules so far with form of 245. This is only second handicap start and remains open to plenty of progress in this sphere. Quite nicely bred and capable of running good races. Drops back in trip today which looks a positive, has seemed a little stretched at the 3 miles so 2m5f is a good distance for this youngster and one he’s enjoyed previously Good to Soft is perfectly suited and this race looks pretty ripe for the picking honestly. Stan Sheppard gets the ride and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if Jimmy Hurdstrom runs into place money at a nice price here and with a good round of jumping isn’t written out of winning this either.

🎯 Dark Horse

Flight Plan

4.20 Lingfield | 22/1
Trainer: K R Burke
Jockey: S H James

At a big price, Flight Plan looks a cracking Dark Horse for those hunting an outsider with genuine upside. While recent form in Meydan reads poorly, it’s important to note he has been competing in much deeper Group and Listed company.

The drop back in class, combined with a return to UK racing, could spark a revival. Flight Plan has previously won on Tapeta and is drawn well in stall 5, removing any major surface or tactical concerns.

If able to rediscover even a portion of his earlier form, he’s massively overpriced and could easily outrun his odds in this weaker field.

Ukantango

J: Lewis Stones T: O Murphy
Race Winner
21/5

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent in his four races last year with form of 5244 including a run here at this track. Returned from a break into a Class 3 in January this year and won in the closing stages there. Only gone up 2lb and that was a fantastic start to this campaign and Ukantango looks set for another big run today in what represents a drop in class. Trip and ground both fine and from a yard with a fantastic record both here and currently. Lewis Stones gets the ride and this nine year old should be going very close again today.

Might Be The One

J: Darragh O'Keeffe T: A McNamara
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the third on the card at Naas and one who looks set to challenge is five year old Might Be The One from the McNamara yard. Has been running ok of late and the second at Limerick just after Christmas was decent form. Prefers the ground like it is today and the drop back to 2 miles is a positive. Does need to bounce back after a poor run at Down Royal but that can be a tricky track so capable of a big run in suited conditions today at Naas. Pretty weak race and won’t take much winning. O’Keeffe aboard is a good booking and he’s no stranger to Naas success. Big player.

Guet Apens

J: Craig Nichol T: O Greenall & J Guerriero
Race Winner
2/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old Guet Apens has only had one start on British soil which was last month at Musselburgh when fourth of eleven. Was a useful french flat racer and so that third was positive for hurdling debut here in the UK. Runs an extra furlong today from lto which looks a positive and will be fine on the soft ground. Likely to be much fitter today as the run last time was first for 19 months. In good hands stable wise and has a good jockey aboard in Craig Nichol. Very unexposed still in this discipline and looks capable of improving beyond most of this field and would not be a surprise to see him get the win here.

Vanilla Dancer

J: Danny McMenamin T: C Grant
Race Winner
29/5

Reason for Tip

Consistent type who’s last three runs read 321 and the win lto was convincing enough to back again given the rise is only 2lb. Has looked progressive since December last year and there’s a chance the ceiling is still above the current mark. Runs a familiar trip on soft ground which is no concern and Vanilla Dancer looks a big player today in this field of horses with largely worse recent form. Has the benefit of a top jockey in Danny McMenamin and he has a decent record here. Race looks to be between Vanilla Dancer and Holly Bird but Vanilla Dancer has been much more consistent and progressive and looks a likely winner today to complete a double.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

A solid Lucky 15 with proven form, workable marks and strong jockey bookings:

🔹 Muy Muy Loco

1.42 Lingfield | 4/1
Two wins from his last four starts and the booking of apprentice Mason Paetel (3lb claim) offsets the recent rise from the handicapper. Course specialist who has won from wide draws before — big chance.

🔹 As Fast As Wind

3.22 Doncaster | 5/1
Progressing nicely since switching yards, with figures reading 3662. The drop to 2 miles has clearly helped and he looks primed to strike on suitable ground.

🔹 Peacenik

4.43 Newbury | 6/1
Low-mileage seven-year-old with form of 313 this season. Steps up to 3 miles for the first time but pedigree suggests it will suit. Strong jumper with Gavin Sheehan booked — major player.

🔹 Coparisi

6.45 Wolverhampton | 5/1
Progressive filly returning from a break after finishing her juvenile season strongly. Pedigree suggests AW will suit and Kevin Ryan’s yard is in good form here.
