Betfair Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) - Ascot

Mondoui'boy

J: Ben Jones T: B Pauling
Race Winner
81/50

Reason for Tip

First race of the day at Ascot here and the one to beat is Mondoui’boy from the Pauling yard. Reasonable runs on first two starts before progressing as we thought he would to win lto at Ludlow with relative ease. Winning distance only 4.5L but could’ve been a lot further, he just didn’t need to push it. This youngster holds entries into the Albert Bartlett and the Turners and for good reason. Very nice pedigree, clear ability and he’s only just getting started. This looks an ideal warm up race here at Ascot where the yard and jockey both have a brilliant record. When combining here at this course they’ve won just under a third of all starts in the last few years. Mondoui’boy is the most unexposed horse in the field and remains open to any amount of progression. Tougher assignment today but quite frankly could take it in his stride and handily. Big chance, the one to beat, but not sure he will be.

🎯 Dark Horse

Brother Boris

3.10 Fakenham | Odds: 8/1
Trainer: L Wadham
Jockey: Tom Cannon

Brother Boris is far more interesting than his bare form suggests. While still a maiden, he ran a strong second over C&D on New Year’s Day last year and is now 7lb lower than that effort — a huge positive in a race lacking depth.

The obvious concern is the absence since April, but if he’s even close to fully tuned, this mark gives him a real chance to outrun his odds. He generally jumps soundly, stays the trip well, and Tom Cannon is a positive booking for a yard that does well placing horses shrewdly.

At 8/1, he makes plenty of appeal for each-way players and wouldn’t shock if going very close.

Pourquoi Pas Papa

J: Freddie Gingell T: P F Nicholls
Race Winner
21/5

Reason for Tip

Progressive youngster from the Nicholls yard who has form of 221 in first three rules starts in this country and remains unexposed. The form from those previous races is reasonably strong and they were warm races. Won lto in very fine style and looks a talented young horse who’s ceiling has definitely not been reached thus far. Runs the same trip here today on suited ground and whilst this is a tougher assignment, looks capable of taking it. Represents a strong stable with a good record here and has a talented young jockey aboard in Freddie Gingell. Looks a major player and has to be taken very seriously today.

Mc Loven

J: Paddy Bradley T: S Dow
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Despite losing streak now being 15, as a result of this Mc Loven is on a mark that can’t be ignored today. Has good course form, does most of his running here and the return to 5f today is a big positive. Mc Loven has stacks of pace and likes a quickly run race from the front. He has a plum draw from stall 1 today so likely to be able to dictate just that and looks a danger in this. Inform jockey Paddy Bradley back aboard for the ride today which is a good thing and this race is not overly strong and Mc Loven looks to be on a winning mark now. Likely winner.

Your Darling

J: Ben Jones T: B Pauling
Race Winner
10/1

Reason for Tip

Eleven year old Your Darling remains on a very workable mark and is largely a consistent horse with form of 1P142 since November 2023. Had some trouble at the start lto but despite that ran a cracker of a race and if it wasn’t for a slight blunder at the last, would have won that race. This trip is ideal for Your Darling and the forecast ground is no concern. Has a good history here including a Class 2 chase back in November 2023 and looks a bit of value at 9/1 quite frankly. Represents a strong and successful yard and has stable jockey Ben Jones aboard who has been riding brilliantly all season so far. Yard and jockey have a 31% combined strikerate here at Ascot and that’s a very strong statistic, particularly here. Race looks wide open and Your Darling is a major player. Good chance.

Francesi

J: Myla Coppins T: A W Carroll
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Newcastle. Some talented horses in here and one who looks a nice price at 8/1 is seven year old Francesi from the Carroll’s. Consistent and clearly not reached his ceiling just yet. Form reads 11222 since New Years Day and only went down a neck into second lto despite losing a shoe. Strong miler in this sphere and whilst this is a tougher assignment than last time, this boy seems to improve every time at the moment. Only 1lb higher today and that doesn’t look enough to curtail chances. Has a plum draw from stall 1 and if Myla can get this boy dictating things from the front as he loves to do, he will take some catching. Looks a little overpriced at 8/1 and wouldn’t be surprised if that shortened a little bit before the off. Should be placing at the very least but capable of winning this too.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

🍀 Lucky 15 – TipMan Sunday Shortlist

🟢 Anariza

12.20 Windsor | 7/2
Returned from a long break in excellent style when winning lto at Wetherby in first-time hood. Still unexposed, well treated, and capable of stepping up again despite the rise in class.

🟢 Audacious Annie

2.05 Fakenham | 5/1
Forgive the latest run over an extended 3m — that trip stretched him. Back to his ideal 2m4f today with a big 7lb claimtaken off. Well handicapped and dangerous if things fall right.

🟢 Special John

3.35 Windsor | 4/1
Ultra-consistent since joining the Thomas yard and chasing a hat-trick. Up in class, but still looks ahead of the handicapper and remains open to further improvement.

🟢 Willitgoahead

3.55 Thurles | 5/2
Rock-solid form lto when second in a strong contest, sets the clear standard here. Course winner, ideal conditions, and trained by a red-hot Gordon Elliott. Very hard to oppose.
