Pure Carbon

J: Paul O'Brien T: Harry Derham
Race Winner
15/8

Reason for Tip

Small field race here in the penultimate race at Stratford and the one to beat very much looks to be Pure Carbon from the Derham yard. Two wins over fences this season and wasn’t far away when third at Ascot last month. This is very much a weaker race today and Pure Carbon remains on a workable mark and should go very well again here in suited conditions. The rest of the field have marks to defy or breaks to overcome and Pure Carbon is primed and ready to go on a proven mark. Yard and jockey both have strong records at Stratford and have won over a quarter of races when combining here. Pure Carbon looks a very likely victor today.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Our NAP of the Day is Sarab Star in the 6.30 at Kempton.

This progressive four-year-old from the Jack Channon yard had a strong campaign last year, recording two wins and a second-place finish at this track, highlighting his liking for Kempton.

He returns here after a short break and still looks open to further improvement. His progressive profile suggests there is more to come, and he could take another step forward today.

The draw in stall 1 is a major positive, likely allowing him to dictate the pace from the front. If he gets an easy lead, he could prove extremely difficult to catch.

The booking of Tom Marquand is another big plus. The jockey has an excellent record when riding for this yard and knows how to get the best out of these types.

With course form, a favourable draw and clear progression, Sarab Star looks the standout selection on Wednesday’s card.

Miss Denver

J: Toby McCain-Mitchell T: N&W Twiston-Davies
Race Winner
22/1

Reason for Tip

One of the more unexposed types in the race with only three starts to her name and whilst the first two runs were ones to forget, showed more of what is to be expected lto when fourth. This six year old is bred to be much better than those first two starts and so the run last time was very encouraging and may be a springboard to much better today. Will be fine over this trip and should act on this ground. There is a short priced fav at the head of the market who is a little complicated and so looks vulnerable. 22/1 is a big price and based on what Miss Dancer has shown but she’s open to much more progress than most of this field, from a respected yard and has a good jockey aboard in Toby. Bred for better, will we see that today?

🎯 Dark Horse

Our Dark Horse racing tip is Ballywood in the 4.45 at Huntingdon, currently priced around 14/1.

The twelve-year-old may not have won in some time, but he has been knocking on the door recently, including a solid effort last time out.

He now looks very well handicapped and could be dangerous in a race of this nature.

The key factor today is the drop in trip, which looks a big positive. Ballywood has shaped well in recent runs but has struggled to see out longer distances. This shorter trip could suit perfectly.

He also has a good record at Huntingdon and the better ground conditions will suit him well.

With blinkers retained and a capable jockey in Tabitha Worsley, Ballywood could easily outrun his odds and get involved at the finish.

East Eagle

J: Charlie Maggs T: M E Sowersby
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent six year old with form of 41432 and looks to still be well treated and on a very workable mark. This trip is bang in the middle of this horses range and so no concerns on that front and will act on this ground. This race is pretty open and there is question marks over a few at the head of the market here whereas we are sure to get another good run from this six year old and this looks a very winnable race. Charlie Maggs retains the ride and that’s no negative, has a good record here for an apprentice and he is riding brilliantly at the moment with a strikerate north of 20% for the last two months. Good chance for East Eagle to notch another win today.

Alnofoor

J: Colin Keane T: C O'Connell
Race Winner
5/1

Reason for Tip

Might be an eight year old, but Alnofoor is in the form of his life. Returned from a four year break last year and ran moderately on the AW at Dundalk but has found a new lease of life on turf the last twice with wins at Navan and Bellewstown and has looked better each time. Has to be respected today here at The Curragh as he’s still very low mileage and open to plenty of improvement, particularly with Colin Keane in the saddle today. Has a wide draw but plenty of early speed and the forecasted soft ground is ideal. Yard and jockey have a good record together and Alnofoor looks to have a very realistic chance of completing the hattrick today.

Sammy Smart

J: Darragh O'Keefe T: T Gibney
Race Winner
7/2

Reason for Tip

Ten year old Sammy Smart looks set for a big run today dropped right back in class from the Listed event lto when fourth. Shed maiden at Punchestown in December and makes course debut at Tramore today. Seems to have a big preference for going right handed so should take to this course and Darragh knows the track well which will help Sammy Smart get round well. Remains on a competitive mark and there is lots in this race who don’t really look to have a chance. Conditions are ideal for this ten year old today and with a top jockey aboard in Darragh, could be hard to peg back here. Likely winner.

Notnowlinda

J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton
Race Winner
3/1

Reason for Tip

Out of sorts at the tail end of last year in Class 3 company and form wasn’t pretty reading. However, has turned a corner in cheekpieces and ran a very good race lto at Uttoxeter when a close third and looks set for a big run in a weak race today. Headgear retained, this is a very solid trip for this horse and does act on good ground. Might be a nine year old, but she’s a well handicapped one and represents a major yard with a fantastic jockey aboard in stable jockey Harry. Yard don’t have the sharpest record at this course, but they are very much in form currently and it won’t take Notnowlinda a great deal of encouragement to return to winning ways at Plumpton today. Great chance.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Here are our Lucky 15 selections for Wednesday 18th March:


Kingcormac – 2.00 Hereford (9/4)

Kingcormac looks the one to beat in what appears a weak opening handicap at Hereford.

He won impressively last time out and has a strong record at this track, including a previous win here in December. Despite being on a career-high mark, he still looks well treated.

The horse tends to make the running, which is often a big advantage at Hereford, and the ground conditions suit perfectly.

The yard is in excellent form, operating at around a 40% strike rate in the last 30 days, while jockey Taylor Fisher has also been in flying form.


Kittys Glance – 3.15 Huntingdon (6/1)

Kittys Glance represents the in-form Alan King yard and could be a big improver today.

Her previous form figures of 380 don’t tell the full story, as she has been competing in stronger races, including a Listed event at Cheltenham.

She returns after a break having undergone a wind operation, and the addition of a first-time hood could help her settle and focus better.

Dropping into easier company, she looks capable of showing much more and could go close at a nice price.


Vol Royale – 4.30 Hereford (9/2)

Vol Royale looks a strong contender back at Hereford.

He completed a hurdle double at this track before struggling slightly when stepping up in class on handicap debut at Chepstow.

Now dropping back into Class 4 company, he looks much better placed and could bounce back.

The step up in trip looks suitable based on pedigree, and he clearly enjoys both the track and conditions.

The booking of Harry Cobden is a major positive, particularly given his outstanding record when riding for this yard at Hereford.


Serenity Dream – 7.30 Kempton (9/4)

Serenity Dream has an excellent record at Kempton, with two wins from three starts at the track.

He ran well last time out when second over course and distance, and remains on a very workable mark.

Drawn in stall 6, he has flexibility in how he races tactically, and the booking of Rossa Ryan adds further confidence.

In what looks a fairly modest race, Serenity Dream is a major player once again.
