Pic Roc

J: Kielan Woods T: B Pauling

Race Winner

47/50

Reason for Tip

Pic Roc is a talented seven year who has contested some very hot races over the years and has the hurdling form in this field by quite some way. Tailed off a bit at the end of last season but they were much warmer races than this. Didn’t start this years campaign overly well when unseating the rider lto at Worcester but these things sometimes happen and Pic Roc should strip much fitter now on second start of this new jumps season. However despite that Pic Roc is the standout pick in this race and represents a fantastic yard who are going very well and has a good jockey aboard in Kielan Woods. Doesn’t really look like anyone in this lineup should be able to mount a challenge and Pic Roc should take this today.

⭐ NAP of the Day – Explosion at Chelmsford

Explosion – 4.18 Chelmsford – 6/5
Trainer: Charlie Johnston
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa

Our NAP of the Day runs at Chelmsford in the 4.18 with Explosion.

This progressive youngster has already shown promise with two placed efforts before breaking through with an impressive win at Windsor last time. That was a hotly contested maiden, and the form looks solid.

Explosion makes his polytrack debut here, but there’s nothing in the pedigree or preparation to suggest that will be a negative. With just three runners in the race, he looks by far the most unexposed, open to stacks of improvement now switched to nursery company.

👉 Why Explosion is today’s NAP: Improving profile, strong yard/jockey combination, and the most progressive type in a weak field.

Daniel And Orma O'Keeffe Handicap Hurdle - Cork

Cafe Con Leche

J: Mr A D Bustin T: C Byrnes

Race Winner

9/1

Reason for Tip

Rather open race this Cork Hurdle and one who looks quite well priced is old timer Café Con Leche from the Byrnes yard. Highest winning hurdling mark of 118 and we’ve seen a return to form since the mark has dropped. Finished a reasonable fourth on last hurdle start off a mark of 116 and has been dropped 4 to run off a mark of 112 today. Also the big benefit of Mr Bustin’s 7lb apprentice claim today which puts this old boy on a very attractive mark. Jockey despite being inexperience has a good record at Cork and theres actually a lot to like about this 9 year olds chances today. Could go in at a nice price here.

🎯 Dark Horse Racing Tips – Tsuki at Ayr

Tsuki – 3.15 Ayr – 9/1
Trainer: Jim Goldie
Jockey: Paul Mulrennan

Our Dark Horse selection runs in the 3.15 at Ayr with Tsuki.

This filly began her career with William Haggas, winning a Class 4 maiden at Goodwood before running respectably in two more races. Since then she has switched to the Jim Goldie yard, and this is her first run for her new trainer.

She makes her handicap debut here, and while there is a break to overcome, her past performances suggest she has more to give. The Goldie/Mulrennan partnership has an excellent strike rate at Ayr, and if Tsuki is fit and ready to go, she could surprise at a nice price.

👉 Why Tsuki is today’s Dark Horse: Course/trainer angle, first run in a handicap, proven talent, and value odds.

Irish EBF Maiden (Smullen Series) - Curragh

Il Corsaro

J: Liam Keniry T: A P O'Brien

Race Winner

47/10

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here with the vast majority of the field having just one race under their belt. One who looks open to taking this is Aiden O’Brien trained Il Corsaro who despite being very green, finished well on debut at Leopardstown on last month and should come leaps and bounds for that experience. Nicely bred youngster and the fifth was only by three lengths and looks a major player on course debut at The Curragh here. Represents a mighty stable who has great success here and looks likely to be heavily involved at the end today.

Sir Edward Lear

J: J J Burke T: James Owen

Race Winner

7/1

Reason for Tip

Relatively handy runner on the flat who recorded a win at Newmarket back in August. Makes hurdling debut here today and so there is obvious risks and questions attached to the chances today, but this four year old should see out the trip no problem and with a clear enough round of hurdling has every chance here. Yard have readied horses previously for hurdling debuts and they have a great strikerate currently. Have had plenty of success at the track over the years and Sir Edward Lear gets the talented J J Burke aboard today who has plenty of experience. Has a good chance to begin hurdles campaign in the best way possible.

Kapal Layar

J: S Bowen T: O Murphy

Race Winner

17/5

Reason for Tip

Hattrick seeking Kapal Layar is still relatively low mileage for his age and despite being raised a healthy amount for the decisive win at Perth lto, looks shaped for further progress and doesn’t seem like we’ve seen this boys ceiling just yet. Yard are absolutely flying and have a great record here and Kapal Layar should find both trip and ground ideal conditions. Ever impressive Sean Bowen aboard who continues to dominate and when yard and jockey combine here at Carlisle they are running at just under a 40% strikerate. Kapal Layar does have a break to contend with but has proven himself to run well fresh previously so should be primed and ready to go for this. Likely winner.

Fleur De Chine

J: Shane Foley T: Mrs J Harrington

Race Winner

39/5

Reason for Tip

Harringtons have two in this and Fleur De Chine looks to be the first string with Shane Foley preferring to ride this four year old. Bit of an up and down year really but Fleur De Chine has contested some quite warm races this year including some Group 3s and wasn’t disgraced in either of them. Showed a return to form lto at Naas when winning nicely over this trip last month and whilst now carries a 3lb penalty, still looks pretty well treated. Will handle the heavy ground where some won’t and represents a top yard with a top jockey aboard. Big chance.

🍀 Lucky 15 Horse Racing Tips – Thursday 18th September

Today’s Lucky 15 tips cover Yarmouth, Kempton, and Chelmsford:

Gouken – 2.00 Yarmouth – 2/1
Consistent juvenile with form 332, second last time at Ffos Las, and now looks well treated in nurseries. Represents Ed Walker and top jockey Shoemark booked.

Wedonttelllies – 3.57 Kempton – 10/3
Improved smartly from debut to finish third last time at Kempton. Course form, progressive profile, and likely to step forward again.

Noble Guest – 4.02 Yarmouth – 15/2
Three wins in a row all at Yarmouth. Carries a penalty but clearly loves the course and has strong recent form.

Invincible Navy – 8.00 Chelmsford – 4/1
Two recent seconds suggest a win is close. Drops back to 6f which suits, plus apprentice takes off 5lb. Well drawn and dangerous.

👉 Why this Lucky 15 works: Combines consistent performers, progressive juveniles, and course specialists, giving punters balance between short-priced bankers and each-way value.
