NAP of the Day 05.10.25

5 Oct 16:44
Devil's Punchbowl Beginners Chase - Killarney

Nastya

J: M P O'Connor T: H De Bromhead

Race Winner

15/8

Reason for Tip

Highly consistent six year old from the De Bromhead stable who rarely runs a bad race and form reads 432152. Remains on a workable mark and has been progressive so far this season posting better and better numbers. Course debut at Killarney today but should take to it fine and the De Bromheads have a very strong record here over the years. Mike O’Connor booked for the ride. Not the strongest race and Nastya looks more than capable of getting the job done here. There is questions over the other principles fitness with rides just a matter of days ago and the fitter Nastya can exploit that.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Winding Stream – 5.45 Southwell – 5/4
T: Richard Hughes | J: Billy Loughnane

Not always the style to side with debutants for a NAP, but this one looks a serious type. Winding Stream is a very well-bred two-year-old making a first appearance in what looks an ordinary Class 5 race. Richard Hughes has a solid record with debutants (12%) and his youngsters are in fine form this season. The booking of Billy Loughnane is a big plus, with the rider enjoying plenty of course success. Yard are running hot, the horse is bred for the job, and this looks a very weak race – ideal conditions for a winning debut.

Why it’s the NAP:
Classy pedigree, weak opposition, hot yard and jockey combination. Looks the standout bet on the card.

Bells Of Ufford

J: S Bowen T: Tim Vaughan

Race Winner

17/1

Reason for Tip

Five year old trained by Tim Vaughan who looks a bit better value than the current odds here today in what’s quite an open race at Uttoxeter. This boy is returning from a break after a poor run and whilst the Vaughan’s aren’t in great form, it’s hard to truly rely on that with such few runners in the last 60 days and so can be somewhat discounted. The huge and obvious plus here today is the jockey. Sean Bowen is booked and he is the best in the business and his form shows that, he has a 26% course strikerate over the last two years and in the last 60 days has won nearly a third of all his rides. Bells of Ufford has shown promise on a number of occasions and maybe the benefit of Bowen will help his chances today. Open race that brings this boy into the frame if he can find a bit of consistency to his run.

Tiptoptim

J: G Sheehan T: Jamie Snowden

Race Winner

5/2

Reason for Tip

Ex irish pointer Tiptoptim found his feet lto with a win at Newcastle back in March. Has a break to contend with here but the win at Newcastle was after a long break so seems to go fine fresh. Trip is well within reach and he looks a useful type from what we’ve seen so far. Represents a fine yard who are running hot at the moment with a 45& fortnightly strikerate. Jockey Gavin Sheehan only has this one ride at Uttoxeter today and he is also in great form with a 33% fortnightly strikerate. Both enjoy success at this course and Tiptoptim looks a major player.

Carla's Pet

J: T E O'Connor T: E McCarthy

Race Winner

17/5

Reason for Tip

Low mileage hurdler who has been quite inconsistent until the win on last start at Listowel. Been sent up 8lb for that win but O’Connor takes off 7lb today which makes Carlas Pet tempting despite the rise. This isn’t an overly strong race and if this six year old can run close to the performance last time out it should result in the win. Yard going well at the moment and this could be another win for the stats. Good chance.

Deepone

J: Billy Lee T: P Twomey

Race Winner

9/4

Reason for Tip

Consistent and talented young colt from the Twomey yard who ran a cracker lto at The Curragh to finish third in the International Stakes. This shorter trip isn’t a problem and has the speed and form over this distance to excel in this lower grade. Yard are shrewd and inform and have a strong course record too. The form from the run lto is arguably the best on offer and Deepone has ran well before here and looks more than able to get the job done here today under a positive ride from W J Lee.

Wa Wa

J: Lewis Saunders T: O Murphy

Race Winner

24/5

Reason for Tip

This 10 year old has looked a different horse since joining the Murphy’s two starts ago. Won on stable debut at Perth before going down a close second over C&D lto. Yard are in nothing short of brilliant form and the winners are coming in regularly. Drops back a class today to a Class 3 and looks dangerous back in this code. Lewis Saunders has ridden Wa Wa on both starts for the Murphys and retains the ride here today. Wa Wa won’t be far away today, and is a likely winner.
