Todays NAP of the Day

17 Mar 16:40 - Oddschecker Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race) - Exeter

17 Mar 16:40
Oddschecker Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race) - Exeter

Ink Black Heart

J: Harry Skelton T: D Skelton

Race Winner

37/25

Reason for Tip

Race full of unexposed youngsters or debutants and one who looks set for victory today is five year old Ink Black Heart from the Skeltons. Ran a cracker on stable debut in December at Wetherby when second of fifteen and likely to come on a lot for that. Form from that race is strong with the winner going on to follow up in a Listed race since. Both trip and ground should be favourable for this five year old and represents a yard in good form along with having a fantastic record at this course. Harry is aboard and he has a 32% strikerate at this track and that rises to 33% when aboard Skelton trained horses. Capable of progressing beyond this field and looks a very likely winner.

37/25

5/4

6/5

⭐ NAP of the Day

Raveena – 6.30 Chelmsford – 13/8

Trainer: J Channon
Jockey: Kieren Shoemark

Raveena is a progressive young filly who continues to move in the right direction with each run. Her recent form figures of 8452 don’t tell the full story, as she has shaped better than the bare results suggest and looks ready to strike.

She drops back to 5f for the first time, which looks a positive given how strongly she has travelled over further. The draw is ideal, and with Kieren Shoemark booked, she should be sharp away and well positioned from the off.

This is a very winnable race, she remains unexposed, and further improvement is expected.
NAP — looks the most likely winner on the card.

Into The Park

J: Callum Pritchard T: P Hobbs & J White

Race Winner

11/1

Reason for Tip

Joint top weight Into The Park has failed to act on the trip and ground combinations of late but not disgraced either. Rarely runs a bad race and will likely be heavily involved today in first time blinkers. Steps up in trip to 3 miles which on pedigree is actually a big positive and may unlock the form we know this seven year old is capable of. Jumps well, and on this drop back down in class has to be taken seriously today. Callum Pritchard aboard with his 3lb apprentice claim is no negative, makes this boy even more well treated and Callum has an exceptional strikerate at this track of 40% in the last 2 years. Has lots of winners for this yard and Into the Park is in good hands today in a race that looks very winnable.

🎯 Dark Horse

Mr Zee – 3.00 Exeter – 40/1

Trainer: M Blake
Jockey: Rex Dingle

Mr Zee is priced up at huge odds in a race where, outside of the odds-on favourite, things look far more open than the market suggests.

A previous Taunton winner, Mr Zee handles any ground and now finds himself below his last winning mark. His recent form of 074 shows quiet improvement as his rating has fallen, and the forecast soft ground is absolutely no issue.

With bookmakers paying three places, he looks more than capable of getting involved for place money, and at 40/1, even that would represent excellent value.
Big outsider, but not written off.

Lokis Mischief

J: undefined T: undefined

Race Winner

13/2

Reason for Tip

Six year old Loki’s Mischief is yet to win over hurdles but has been running creditably in defeat, particularly the last twice when third and then second. Has pieced together some form of late and looks set to continue that today in a very ordinary looking race. This 2m7f looked to be a strong trip for this youngster and runs that again today, remains unexposed at this distance and looks set for a big run here. Will act on the good to soft thats forecast and has the benefit of a fantastic jockey aboard in Harry Cobden who has a 29% strikerate here. Yard also have a fantastic record here and for a smaller yard are winning plenty of races at the moment. When yard have combined here at this course, they have won 40% of races. Big chance today.

Firm But Fair

J: Paul O'Brien T: Harry Derham

Race Winner

19/2

Reason for Tip

Warm looking Class 4 here in the third at Exeter but one who looks ready for a big run is five year old Firm But Fair from the Derham yard. Low mileage and very unexposed and hasn’t really put a foot wrong so far with form of 233. Has been progressive at the figures and no reason that won’t continue, looks to still be well treated and looks a good prospect on course debut at Exeter today. Handles this trip no problem and ground is a positive. Remains open to more progress than most if not all of this field and has a good jockey aboard in Paul O’Brien. Yard and jockey historically combine well together and no strangers to shared success, including here. Lots to like.

Becasse

J: Darragh O'Keeffe T: H De Bromhead

Race Winner

13/2

Reason for Tip

Interesting runner here in a rather open looking race. Becasse is ex french, only had three runs in France back in 2024 and not seen since but the last run in France was a strong performance resulting in a win at Fontainebleau. Long break to contend with but remains very unexposed and resides with a fantastic yard who know how to ready them in the De Bromheads. Won on very soft so ground looks ideally suited and the trip shouldn’t cause any concern. Great jockey aboard in Darragh and this youngster might just have something to say today on first run for these connections. In good hands and yard and jockey have a good strikerate when combining here at Wexford, Becasse is a bit of an unknown but has promise.

Keeper Of Secrets

J: Billy Loughnane T: Ian Williams

Race Winner

9/2

Reason for Tip

This is not a strong race and one who looks set to capatilise on that is five year old Keeper of Secrets from the Ian Williams yard. Returned this year after a long absence and has been progressive if nothing else thus far this year. Looked better and better and wasn’t far away lto at Lingfield when fourth in a bunched finish. Yard have reached for cheekpieces which should benefit this youngster and stall 3 is a good draw here at Wolverhampton. Billy Loughnane gets the ride which is a jockey upgrade from recent riders and when he’s aboard Williams trained horses at this course, they’ve won 34% of races. Does need to find a little extra today, but looks set to do just that and a win looks likely.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

1️⃣ Von Krolock – 1.22 Southwell – 4/1

Trainer: James Owen
Jockey: Mr E Cagney

A progressive ex-Irish runner who has taken very well to life with the Owen yard. Improved with each start for the stable and got the job done nicely at Wolverhampton last time.

Still looks well treated, likely to go forward early, and although drawn wide, he usually breaks well. The Owen yard is flying and Von Krolock looks a major player again.

2️⃣ Vision De Maine – 2.00 Exeter – 7/4

Trainer: D Pipe
Jockey: Jack Tudor

A consistent chaser who returned from a break with a solid third at Ascot. That run should have brought him on nicely, and he now drops into a race that looks very winnable.

The straight 3m suits, soft ground is a plus, and the Pipe yard know exactly how to place these types. Looks primed to strike off this mark.

3️⃣ Noisy Music – 3.22 Southwell – 8/1

Trainer: M Appleby
Jockey: Saffie Osborne

Showed strong form earlier in the year with a 122 sequence at Wolverhampton. Two quieter runs since but shaped as though a return to form isn’t far away.

This looks a slightly weaker race, she’s proven at the track, and Saffie Osborne is a big positive booking. At the price, she looks capable of outrunning odds.

4️⃣ Hinchinbrooke – 8.30 Chelmsford – 7/2

Trainer: Jane Chapple-Hyam
Jockey: Harry Davies

Still a maiden after nine starts but has gone very close recently with back-to-back seconds. Runs off the same mark again and now drops into slightly weaker company.

Good draw, ideal trip, and Harry Davies is riding with confidence. Everything points towards Hinchinbrooke finally getting off the mark.
