Secret Des Lune

J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Ben Clarke
Race Winner
9/4

Reason for Tip

Unexposed five year old from the Ben Clarke yard who makes third start today and remains open to plenty of further progress. Second on both occasions so far but has been progressive on the figures and sets the standard on the figures also. Receiving weight from the other horse at the head of the market and that could make a big difference today. Further progress highly likely today and has come course experience on her side from debut run. Yard ticking along very nicely and Sam Twiston-Davies gets the ride and he has an exceptional record here at Plumpton with a 35% strikerate at the track in the last couple of years. Looks to be between Secret Des Lune and the Moore trained Double the Dance but Secret Des Lune is taken to come out on top. Likely winner.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Ink Black Heart – 4.40 Exeter (5/4)

Today’s NAP of the Day is Ink Black Heart, trained by Dan Skelton and ridden by Harry Skelton.

This race is full of unexposed runners and debutants, but Ink Black Heart sets a strong standard after an excellent run on stable debut at Wetherby back in December, finishing second in a competitive field of fifteen. The form of that race has worked out extremely well, with the winner going on to land a Listed contest since.

Both the trip and ground conditions look ideal, and with the Skelton yard continuing to operate in strong form, there is every chance this five-year-old improves again. Harry Skelton boasts a 32% strike rate at Exeter, which rises slightly when riding for the yard.

With the potential to progress beyond this field, Ink Black Heart looks the horse to beat and a very strong NAP selection today.

Benignitas

J: Rian Corcoran T: Gordon Treacy
Race Winner
11/1

Reason for Tip

Nine year old Benignitas might be 0-14 under rules, but has gone close on a number of occasions, including two starts ago over C&D when second of nine. The two runs either side of that were less impressive, but both over longer trips she just doesn’t seem to cope with. Returns to the 2m3f trip today and at a course she enjoys and looks well handicapped. This is not a strong looking race and we are likely to see this mare return to form today over this ideal trip. Will handle the soft to heavy ground absolutely fine and has a better chance today than her odds might suggest. Rian Corcoran retains the ride and she’s finding plenty a winner at the moment. For a small yard, the Treacy’s are enjoying some success and that is certainly a further positive for Benignita’s chances today.

🎯 Dark Horse

Into The Park – 4.22 Wetherby (9/1)

Our Dark Horse racing tip today is Into The Park from the Hobbs and White yard.

This seven-year-old has struggled slightly with recent trip and ground combinations, but has still run respectably and rarely produces a poor performance. Today’s step up to three miles looks a significant positive, particularly based on pedigree, and could unlock further improvement.

The addition of first-time blinkers is another interesting angle that could sharpen this runner up. Dropping in class also looks ideal and makes this race far more manageable.

Callum Pritchard takes the ride and claims 3lb, which further enhances the horse’s mark. He also has an excellent 40% strike rate at Wetherby over the past two years, particularly when teaming up with this yard.

At the prices, Into The Park looks a lively outsider capable of going very close.

La Marquise

J: Joe Anderson T: Jamie Snowden
Race Winner
3/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old La Marquise hasnt quite shaped with the promise of previously recently with form of 18543, however is well treated, looked much better lto at Wetherby first run after a wind op and looks primed for a big run. Placed in a Grade 2 at Aintree last April and is more than capable of winning in this sphere. Will appreciate the conditions today and the drop back in trip looks more of a positive than anything. Represents a good yard who have a fantastic record here and has the benefit of Joe Anderson aboard today and his 3lb apprentice claim. Likely to go very close today.

Sioux Falls

J: Conor Ring T: Mrs C Williams
Race Winner
13/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 4.30 at Ffos Las and one looks a very solid proposition is six year old Sioux Falls from the Williams yard. Low mileage and very unexposed and has been progressive so far in first three starts under rules Was not far away at all when third lto at Sedgefield over this trip and this is a relatively weak entry point into handicaps for this boys handicap debut. Yard have a decent record recently for a smaller operation and look to have found Sioux Falls a cracking race to go handicapping in. Very decent chance.

Galileo Charm

J: R Havlin T: M Botti
Race Winner
11/2

Reason for Tip

Reasonable maiden form for Galileo Charm and reads 24632. Wasn’t miles away lto over C&D when second and looks primed for a big run today on handicap debut. Has experience at this track and ran well here previously. Has an ok draw from stall 5 and this definitely not a warm looking race. Very fair, almost lenient opening mark and this three year old looks set to take advantage. From a yard in good form with a 38% fortnightly strikerate and they are no strangers to success at this track either. Good jockey aboard in Richard Havlin and this three year old has a great chance of winning today.

Kento

J: Billy Loughnane T: A W Carroll
Race Winner
5/2

Reason for Tip

Five year old Kento has thrived in 0-55 company with two wins in that sphere including lto when winning over C&D. Generally loves this course and sneaks into a 0-50 today off a mark of 50 and looks a very likely victor in a weak race. Well drawn from stall 3 and tends to start very well from low draws and will be very tough to peg back. Looks well treated still in this race and has the benefit of a top jockey today in Billy Loughnane who has a good record here and has won nearly a third of his rides in the last month. Kento has strung a few strong performances together recently and is taken to continue in that vain. More than capable of winning this race and won’t be surprised if he does.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Here are today’s Lucky 15 horse racing tips:

  • Loki’s Mischief – 2.20 Exeter (6/1)

  • Firm But Fair – 2.55 Exeter (13/2)

  • Becasse – 3.22 Wexford (11/2)

  • Keeper Of Secrets – 6.30 Wolverhampton (7/2)

Loki’s Mischief – 2.20 Exeter

Loki’s Mischief is yet to win over hurdles but has been knocking firmly on the door, finishing third and then second on his last two starts. The 2m7f trip appears to suit him very well, and with further improvement likely at this distance he could be ready to break his maiden.

Harry Cobden takes the ride and boasts a 29% strike rate at Exeter, while the Chester Williams yard have been operating in good form. When the yard and jockey combine here, they have recorded an impressive 40% strike rate, making this runner extremely interesting.

Firm But Fair – 2.55 Exeter

Firm But Fair is a progressive five-year-old from the Harry Derham yard with a record of 233 so far under rules. Still lightly raced, he remains open to further improvement and has shown consistent ability in his early career.

The trip and ground conditions look ideal, and the step into this race does not appear beyond him. Paul O’Brien takes the ride and has enjoyed good success when teaming up with the yard.

With more progression likely, Firm But Fair looks capable of playing a major role here.

Becasse – 3.22 Wexford

Becasse is an interesting runner making his first appearance for the Henry De Bromhead yard after previously racing in France. His last run in France resulted in a convincing victory at Fontainebleau, suggesting there is plenty of ability there.

Although returning from a lengthy break, he now joins a yard that excels with these types of horses. The ground conditions should suit perfectly, and the trip should pose no problem.

With Darragh O’Keeffe booked for the ride and the yard boasting a strong record at Wexford, Becasse could prove a dangerous contender.

Keeper Of Secrets – 6.30 Wolverhampton

Keeper Of Secrets looks well placed to strike in what appears to be a fairly weak contest at Wolverhampton.

After returning from a lengthy break earlier this year, he has shown steady improvement, most recently finishing fourth in a competitive race at Lingfield where the field finished closely together.

The application of first-time cheekpieces could unlock further improvement, and stall three provides a favourable draw around this track. Billy Loughnane takes the ride, representing a notable jockey upgrade, and when he rides Ian Williams runners here the strike rate stands at an impressive 34%.

With conditions looking favourable, Keeper Of Secrets has a strong chance of landing this race.
