Todays NAP of the Day

16 Apr 16:10 - Newmarket
16 Apr 16:10
Newmarket

Hassaleh

J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby
Race Winner
5/4

Reason for Tip

Three year old Hassaleh is a very nicely bred Night Of Thunder filly from the Appleby yard who is capable of improving greatly from the rather green debut run at Windsor. Not seen since that run in June last year and make course debut at Newmarket today and there has already been market confidence from 11/8 into 5/4. Well drawn in stall 3, open to plenty of further progression and is one of the stand out horses in this field today. Represents a top yard and has a fantastic jockey aboard in William Buick. Yard have a fantastic record here and are also running at a 45% strikerate in the last two weeks. Buick and Appleby have a 30% win rate when pairing at this track. Likely winner today.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Ski Lodge

2.30 Uttoxeter – 7/4
Trainer: A King
Jockey: Thomas Bellamy

Ski Lodge has already shown solid hurdling ability, including a strong win in a 3-mile Haydock maiden hurdle. Returned from a long break last month and shaped extremely well in a Class 3 at Lingfield, finishing a credible second behind a smart favourite.

Today he switches to fences for the first time, and everything in his profile suggests he’ll take to chasing naturally — ideal trip, preferred ground and a stable with a strong record introducing chasers. Tom Bellamy rides Uttoxeter well and connections expect improvement now he’s fitter for his return run.

Why it’s the NAP:
Proven stamina + natural chaser profile + strong seasonal return + weak race = major chance.

Asmeralda

J: Oisin Murphy T: J & T Gosden
Race Winner
10/1

Reason for Tip

Asmeralda is one of the most unexposed horses in this race with only one run so far. That debut was at Kempton before Christmas and won nicely. Beautifully bred Night of Thunder filly who is potentially a very nice horse in the making. Will be fine off the break and both trip and ground are suitable. Well drawn in stall 4 and represents a yard who’ve won this six times including last year. Oisin Murphy booking is notable and he has a good record for the Gosdens. This filly has a big chance today and a rather nice price too. Should be heavily involved and certainly not written out of winning this.

Tara Iti

J: Oscar Palmer T: F Brennan
Race Winner
18/1

Reason for Tip

Eight year old Tara Iti was a smart horse a couple of years ago and notched up no less than eight wins over hurdles for the Moore and Owen yards but has been off the boil for a little while and now resides with the Brennan yard and has yet to make an impact for new yard. However, as a result Tara Iti is very well handicapped and well below highest winning mark and the mark has become a little hard to ignore. Can act over this trip and the ground is in her favour. This really is a wide open race and the change of track to Hereford may be enough to spark a little revival. Good apprentice aboard in Oscar Palmer who has notched multiple wins lately and with a bit of fortune Tara Iti looks capable of placing off this mark at a big price and a win would be a bonus.

🎯 Dark Horse

It’s Maisy

3.33 Uttoxeter – 8/1
Trainer: J Parkinson & S Smith
Jockey: Peter Kavanagh

It’s Maisy drops back in trip today to 2m3f — a sharper test than her usual staying trips around 3 miles. All her wins have come over longer distances, but she does run this track well, handles the ground and arrives on a very workable mark.

The yard has a 19% strike-rate at Uttoxeter in recent seasons and can be very shrewd when spotting opportunities. If the drop in trip ignites improvement, she’s a lively outsider in a race that isn’t overly strong.

Why she’s the Dark Horse:
Course form + favourable mark + trainer angle + potential improvement from trip change.

Different Opinions

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin T: K R Burke
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Hannon trained horse at the head of the market but looks a little vulnerable and so a chance is taken on Burke trained three year old Different Opinions. Ran well on debut before regressing slightly on second start lto at Southwell. However, on pedigree this drop in trip is a big positive and looks a likely improver today. Well drawn in stall 4 and the Burke yard have a very strong record at this course, particularly with their three year olds. Pierre-Louis retains the ride and he is riding well at the moment along with having a good record for this yard at this course. Lots of positives today and Different Opinions looks to have a real chance here at a nice price.

Hawk Mountain

J: Ryan Moore T: A P O'Brien
Race Winner
7/2

Reason for Tip

Craven Stakes time at Newmarket and Hark Mountain is an impressive Ballydoyle colt who’s not really put a foot wrong last year as a two year old. Form of 5111 including the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster and very much the form pick for this race. Does need to answer the fresh question mark but the yard have a good record and know how to prime horses returning from a break. Trip should still be fine as a three year old and whilst best form thus far has been on testing ground, unexposed on good and on pedigree doesn’t look a negative. Well drawn, very much in form and progressive and represents a major yard with a world class jockey aboard in Ryan Moore. Leading player and looks to have an excellent chance.

Sailor Batt

J: Connor Beasley T: T D Barron
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Three year old Sailor Batt might be a maiden still after 9 runs but has gone close on a number of occasions and looks primed for a big run on return to turf today. Form this year is 253 and does act on grass so no reason he won’t be heavily involved again today. On a very workable mark and both ground and trip are ideally suited. This is not a strong race and won’t take a great deal of winning. Yard probably overdue a winner and have booked an inform jockey in Connor Beasley. Sailor Batt is unlikely to be far away here and looks capable of taking this.

Sherborne

J: Freddie Gingell T: J Tizzard
Race Winner
7/4

Reason for Tip

Hattrick seeking Sherborne comes into today in very good form. Has looked better and better over fences of late and easily defied a 7lb rise to win again in fine style lto at Ascot. Has gone up another 8lb but in the form this 10yo is in, hard to discount frankly. Ideal trip on perfect ground and Sherborne looks set to produce another big run. This race is a little warmer than recent ones but returns to a course he’s ran well at previously and for a trainer who have a very good record here. In form and talented jockey aboard in Freddie Gingell who has won more than a third of his rides in the last two weeks and also boasts a 30% strikerate at this track. Yes the mark has gone up again, but the hattrick is very much on and Sherborne is taken to get the job done again.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

1️⃣ Chance Another One – 11.50 Punchestown – 6/1

T: E Mullins | J: Donagh Meyler
Unbeaten in two chase starts and impressed lto at Kempton. The main question is the sharp drop to 2 miles today after consistently running around 3 miles. Unexposed at the trip and handles heavy ground. If coping with the speed test, he has a big chance at a price.


2️⃣ Jigoro – 2.20 Punchestown – 11/4

T: Gordon Elliott | J: Jack Kennedy
Talented but inconsistent, returning to hurdles after a below-par chase effort on seasonal debut. Cheekpieces applied, weaker race, and top jockey booked. Much more likely to produce his best back over timber.


3️⃣ Ana Emaraaty – 3.18 Newcastle – 5/1

T: J S Goldie | J: Paul Mulrennan
Completed a hat-trick earlier this year but handicapped out of things since. Now dropped to 1lb below his last winning mark, and this is the right time to strike. Likes Newcastle and Mulrennan returning is a major plus.


4️⃣ Political Power – 5.30 Newcastle – 10/3

T: Charlie Clover | J: Darragh Keenan
Second here two starts ago but stretched by the extended mile lto. Returns to a straight mile which suits far better. The race is not strong on paper and he looks well placed to go close.
