Shalaa Asker

J: Rob Hornby T: C Wallis
Race Winner
11/4

Reason for Tip

Pretty underwhelming looking race here and one who looks a very likely winner of this is eight year old Shalaa Asker. In great form at the moment and has been very close on last two starts when second both times. Remains on a very competitive mark and has a good draw in stall 4 today. There was trouble in running at the break lto and so the second place is better than the bare result, would have won with a clear passage. Top jockey aboard in Rob Hornby and for a tiny yard, the Wallis’s are going well. This looks a nice price and Shalaa Asker probably only needs to run the same as the last twice to get the job done today. Massive chance.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Beaumadier 2.53 Lingfield 11/10
T: D M Loughnane
J: Billy Loughnane
Small field handicap here in the third race on the Lingfield card and the obvious answer to this race is Beaumadier. After some hit and miss performances early last month bounced right back lto at Wolverhampton when winning comfortably by over 3 lengths. Returns to Lingfield today over the same trip and this is a course this six year old has some good performances at. Had an awful draw lto at Wolverhampton but gets a cracker today from stall 1. 3lb well in under a penalty and looks set to complete a double. Billy Loughnane is aboard today which is a positive jockey change and Billy is riding well at the moment with a strikerate north of 20% in the last 30 days. If Beaumadier can string the strong runs together here, should run out the winner in this. Great chance.

Gorgeous Mr George

J: Hector Crouch T: Dylan Cunha
Race Winner
11/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty wide open race in the penultimate on the card at Yarmouth and one looks capable of a big seasonal return is four year old Gorgeous Mr George. Three time winner at Yarmouth and record at this course is largely very solid even when not winning. Looked a little out of sorts and tired when signing off last season with an eighth place here and could be a different proposition when fresh today. Will act on both trip and ground and and remains on a workable mark. This race looks anyone’s and this four year old is entitled to have a say in this. Dylan Cunha gets the ride and it wouldn’t surprise me if Gorgeous Mr George went very close or better here.

🎯 Dark Horse

Moonstone Boy (7.30 Newcastle)

Our Dark Horse racing tip comes in the evening meeting at Newcastle with Moonstone Boy, who could offer excellent value at double-figure odds.

The five-year-old had struggled for form with his previous yard but has since moved to the Candlish stable, where signs of improvement have already been shown. He finished a respectable fourth on his debut for the new yard in January before a disappointing run last time out at the same track.

However, that performance can be forgiven as he raced far too freely early on, which ultimately cost him any chance of finishing strongly. With a more restrained ride expected this time, Moonstone Boy could easily produce a much better showing.

Although drawn wide, he tends to race towards the rear which should help him slot in early without too much trouble. Lewis Edmunds takes over in the saddle and the jockey has been riding in good form recently.

Dropping back into 0–75 company, Moonstone Boy looks capable of bouncing back and could easily hit the frame at attractive odds.

Jolly Good Fellows

J: Rossa Ryan T: Dr R Newland & J Insole
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here and Jolly Good Fellows from the Newland & Insole stable looks set to progress from the solid run made on debut at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Third that day and looks an improver and this race doesn’t look overly warm. Couple of newcomers head the market and they could be anything but don’t look particularly reliable. Jolly is well drawn in stall 3, this trip is fine and has a fantastic jockey aboard in Rossa Ryan. This race won’t take a huge deal of winning and Jolly is taken to improve on second start and do just that.

King Of Berkshire

J: Jason Watson T: Andrew Balding
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

First two starts last year perhaps a little disappointing and the returning run this season at Southwell was not a disgraceful fourth place but clearly needed the run. Should be fresher here today and does have some course experience from debut run. Makes handicap debut today off a workable mark and the extra yardage on pedigree today is more a positive than anything else. Has the makings of a better three year old and represents a major stable who are very much inform. Jason Watson aboard for the ride is a strong booking and King Of Berkshire is in good hands here. Big chance.

Golden Prince

J: Jack Tudor T: Christian Williams
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Low mileage and unexposed five year old who’s been getting better and better. Creditable third on handicap debut last month and appreciated the big step up in trip so yard have opted for the same here and it looks a good decision. Will be fine on this ground and this race is not as strong as the previous run and so Golden Prince looks to have a very bold say today. Further progression still highly likely and whilst this represents course debut, could take to Ffos Las quite nicely. Won’t take a great deal of winning this and Golden Prince looks to have found his preferred trip. Major player.

Daytona Lady

J: Joanna Mason T: Mrs R Carr
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old Daytona Lady has now become rather well handicapped to the point it’s hard to ignore. 8lb lower than when beating Jax Edge here in 2024 and wasn’t far away lto at Southwell on first run back from a fair old break. Should be much fitter today and has to be taken seriously here from a plum draw in stall 2. Looks very well treated today and has a very decent booking in Joanna Mason who is arguably quite underrated due to the rides she often gets. Daytona Lady looks weight to win and might just do that at a nice price.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Our Lucky 15 tips today combine four strong selections across the cards:

  • Crossgales King – 1.37 Wincanton (11/4)

  • Safe Destination – 2.45 Haydock (9/2)

  • The Thames Boatman – 3.25 Lingfield (15/8)

  • Nikovo – 6.30 Newcastle (4/1)

Crossgales King – Wincanton

Crossgales King is still searching for his first hurdles victory but has been improving steadily with recent form figures of 75442. His latest run saw him finish an excellent second over course and distance, beaten only by a smart rival.

This contest looks weaker and the six-year-old clearly enjoys racing at Wincanton. With Ciaran O’Shea in the saddle and conditions expected to suit, Crossgales King looks ready to go very close.

Safe Destination – Haydock

Safe Destination arrives here after a rare below-par effort at Fakenham, where he was pulled up. However, his previous form of 3126 shows he is usually a consistent performer and remains on a workable handicap mark.

The trip and ground conditions should suit perfectly and in what appears a very open race, the experienced eight-year-old could easily bounce back to form for the Twiston-Davies team, with Sam Twiston-Davies booked to ride.

The Thames Boatman – Lingfield

The Thames Boatman started the year strongly with a win in a Class 3 race at Lingfield in January. His last two performances have been underwhelming but both runs came with valid excuses including a poor draw and trouble in running.

Now just 2lb higher than his winning mark and dropping back into Class 4 company, he looks well treated. Drawn perfectly in stall 1 and with talented jockey Billy Loughnane aboard, he looks a major contender.

Nikovo – Newcastle

Nikovo has been knocking on the door recently with form figures of 2nd, 3rd and 2nd across his last few starts. His most recent run saw him finish close up in a tightly bunched finish and he lines up here off the same mark.

The six-year-old also won this race last year which shows his liking for the track. With Jason Hart back in the saddle and riding well at present, Nikovo could be primed for another big run.
