Hardy's Hero

J: Tom Marquand T: W J Haggas
Race Winner
42/25

Reason for Tip

Hardy’s Hero looks the standout selection in this race. Trained by the ever succesful William Haggas and ridden by Tom Marquand, a partnership currently operating at a formidable strike rate, this three-year-old son of New Bay possesses a pedigree that suggests he is significantly better than his current handicap mark. He is from the elite family of Group 1 winners Creative Force and Persuasive, a lineage that points toward a high-class future. After a juvenile campaign that yielded two victories from four starts, he was gelded over the winter. That decision appeared to pay immediate dividends on his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket last month. He produced a career-best performance to finish a narrow second, beaten only a neck after traveling very nicely. He remains on a very workable mark of 81, and the switch to the sharper turf track at Lingfield should suit his high cruising speed. With that comeback run having sharpened his fitness, he is going to be very tough to beat here.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Hardys Hero (3.50 Lingfield) – 15/8

T: William Haggas
J: Tom Marquand

Hardys Hero looks the standout selection on today’s card and is confidently taken as Saturday’s NAP of the Day. Trained by the ever-successful William Haggas and partnered by Tom Marquand, this three-year-old son of New Bay looks very well treated off his current mark.

After winning twice as a juvenile, Hardys Hero returned with a career-best effort at Newmarket last month when narrowly beaten by just a neck after travelling strongly throughout the race. That comeback run suggested there is still plenty more to come this season.

The sharper Lingfield track should suit his running style perfectly, and with race fitness now on his side, this looks an ideal opportunity to get back into the winners enclosure. Haggas runners continue to perform strongly and the stable-jockey combination remains one of the most dangerous in racing.

Reason for Tip: Progressive profile, excellent comeback run and looks extremely well handicapped.

West Cork Wildway

J: Alan O'Sullivan T: P O'Flynn
Race Winner
18/1

Reason for Tip

West Cork Wildway, a 12-year-old trained by Paul O’Flynn, represents some potential value today. Currently priced around 18/1, he remains a significant dark horse despite a proven affinity for the Killarney track, where he is a previous winner. Crucially, the forecast for good ground is ideal, as he is historically much more effective on faster surfaces than soft.
​He is competitively handicapped off a mark of 116 and carries a very light weight of 10st 5lb. This weight is further eased by jockey Alan O’Sullivan’s 7lb claim. While his latest hurdle effort was below par, he has performed well in competitive veterans’ chase events. With his affinity for tight tracks and a clear weight advantage, he has the profile to outrun his odds in this 3m 2f test.

🎯 Dark Horse

West Cork Wildway (4.45 Killarney) – 18/1

T: P O’Flynn
J: Alan O’Sullivan

If you’re searching for a big-priced outsider today, West Cork Wildway could be the value angle in the Killarney feature. The veteran twelve-year-old has excellent course form and historically performs far better on quicker ground conditions, which he gets today.

His current handicap mark of 116 looks workable, while the 7lb claim from Alan O’Sullivan gives him a very attractive racing weight for this marathon trip. Although recent hurdle form hasn’t been eye-catching, this return to a suitable chase setup could spark a much-improved effort.

At around 18/1, there’s enough value to suggest he could outrun his odds significantly in an open-looking contest.

Reason for Tip: Strong course record, ideal ground conditions and well weighted with the claimer.

Tellherthename

J: Harry Skelton T: D Skelton
Race Winner
57/20

Reason for Tip

​This race represents a classic opportunity for a trainer of Dan Skelton’s caliber and shrewness to exploit a well-handicapped horse. Tellherthename showed promising signs on his debut for the stable in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham. Now racing on a flat, fast track at Haydock with a hood fitted for the first time, he is judged to be on a handier mark than his current rating suggests. He fits the age and weight trends required for this race and has a top jockey aboard in Harry Skelton. Major player.

Romantic Symphony

J: W Buick T: C Appleby
Race Winner
7/4

Reason for Tip

Romantic Symphony is a very strong bet thus afternoon for a reason. Her unbeaten record and dominant performance at Kempton suggest she is a Group 1 horse in a Listed race. Trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by William Buick, she has the tactical speed to handle Lingfield’s unique ground and the pedigree to thrive over the 1m3f trip. In a field of five runners, her class should be the deciding factor and looks a cut above this lot with plenty of further progression still very much likely. Looks the winner.

Copacabana Sands

J: R L Moore T: A M Balding
Race Winner
3/1

Reason for Tip

​Copacabana Sands is a high-class four year old with form of 51146 and who has made a significant stable switch to Andrew Balding. As a listed and Group 3 winner in Ireland, she is officially rated 105, which puts her 4lbs clear of her nearest rival, Dash Of Azure. Ridden by Ryan Moore, she is expected to hit the ground running for her new yard, which is currently enjoying a 20.4% strike rate. Moore is always a strong booking, particularly at this track and Copacabana Sands could prove a little too strong for this field today. Big chance.

Valedictory

J: Billy Loughnane T: J & T Gosden
Race Winner
15/8

Reason for Tip

​Valedictory is highly regarded and there has been plenty of talk this week. Lightly raced and representing the powerful Gosden stable, he made a very encouraging seasonal debut when a close third at Newbury. The money that went west that day is expected to be recouped with interest as he steps up in trip. He remains extremely well-treated off a mark of 87 and is the clear choice for this race. Talented young Billy Loughnane aboard is a further positive and he has a fantastic record for the Gosdens and the pair combine for over a 43% strikrate. Looks the winner.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Tellherthename – 1.15 Haydock – 11/4

T: Dan Skelton
J: Harry Skelton

Tellherthename looks attractively handicapped for today’s assignment at Haydock. His Cheltenham County Hurdle run on stable debut hinted at plenty of ability, and the move to a flatter track could unlock improvement. The first-time hood is another interesting angle from the Skelton yard.


Romantic Symphony – 1.28 Lingfield – 13/8

T: Charlie Appleby
J: William Buick

Romantic Symphony brings serious class into this Listed race and already looks a potential Group-level filly. Her Kempton victory was dominant and she appears a cut above this small field. William Buick and Charlie Appleby are always a dangerous combination around Lingfield.


Copacabana Sands – 2.40 Lingfield – 2/1

T: Andrew Balding
J: Ryan Moore

A former Group 3 winner, Copacabana Sands makes her debut for the Andrew Balding yard today and has obvious claims based on ratings alone. Ryan Moore is a huge jockey booking and her class could prove decisive in this field.


Valedictory – 2.55 Ascot – 2/1

T: J&T Gosden
J: Billy Loughnane

Valedictory is attracting plenty of positive talk this week after a very promising return at Newbury. The step up in trip looks ideal and the Gosden-Loughnane combination has been operating at a superb strike rate. Looks extremely well treated off 87.
