Poetisa

J: Mr P W Mullins T: W P Mullins
Race Winner
8/11

Reason for Tip

Started life with a success in a warm bumper at Cheltenham when residing with the Bulgin yard. Now a part of the major Mullins yard and has ran a couple of crackers in defeat, lto behind a smart rival in a Listed even at Navan. Drops back down in grade today and looks the obvious answer here. Open to plenty more progression and this isn’t a strong bumper today. Course debut at Naas but should pose no concern, seems a consistent type and from a yard with a stellar record here. Patrick Mullins gets the ride and Poetisa could prove a class above this lot today. Should win.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Moonshine

2.12 Lingfield – 6/5
Trainer: Ed Walker | Jockey: George Downing

Moonshine is taken to be the NAP for Wednesday. She showed plenty of ability in a strong Newbury maiden on debut and was a beaten favourite at Haydock last summer in another competitive race. This contest looks noticeably weakerthan either of those runs.

She returns from a break, but the Walker yard does well with horses going fresh, and she’s very well bred. Receiving weight from most of her rivals and holding some of the strongest form on offer, Moonshine looks primed for a winning return if ready to go.

Jimmy Hurdstrom

J: Stan Sheppard T: T Lacey
Race Winner
11/2

Reason for Tip

Six year old point winner from the Lacey yard who has been running very well in rules so far with form of 245. This is only second handicap start and remains open to plenty of progress in this sphere. Quite nicely bred and capable of running good races. Drops back in trip today which looks a positive, has seemed a little stretched at the 3 miles so 2m5f is a good distance for this youngster and one he’s enjoyed previously Good to Soft is perfectly suited and this race looks pretty ripe for the picking honestly. Stan Sheppard gets the ride and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if Jimmy Hurdstrom runs into place money at a nice price here and with a good round of jumping isn’t written out of winning this either.

🎯 Dark Horse

Tronido

6.40 Kempton – 16/1
Trainer: S Dow | Jockey: Paddy Bradley

Tronido is an interesting Dark Horse at a big price. All four of his career wins have come when making the running, and today’s stall 2 draw gives him a great chance to get back to those front-running tactics.

He drops back into 0–70 company for the first time in a while and looks well treated on old form. Paddy Bradley knows the horse well and is likely to be positive from the gates. In a wide-open race, Tronido could easily outrun his odds and offers solid each-way appeal.

Ukantango

J: Lewis Stones T: O Murphy
Race Winner
21/5

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent in his four races last year with form of 5244 including a run here at this track. Returned from a break into a Class 3 in January this year and won in the closing stages there. Only gone up 2lb and that was a fantastic start to this campaign and Ukantango looks set for another big run today in what represents a drop in class. Trip and ground both fine and from a yard with a fantastic record both here and currently. Lewis Stones gets the ride and this nine year old should be going very close again today.

Might Be The One

J: Darragh O'Keeffe T: A McNamara
Race Winner
6/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the third on the card at Naas and one who looks set to challenge is five year old Might Be The One from the McNamara yard. Has been running ok of late and the second at Limerick just after Christmas was decent form. Prefers the ground like it is today and the drop back to 2 miles is a positive. Does need to bounce back after a poor run at Down Royal but that can be a tricky track so capable of a big run in suited conditions today at Naas. Pretty weak race and won’t take much winning. O’Keeffe aboard is a good booking and he’s no stranger to Naas success. Big player.

Guet Apens

J: Craig Nichol T: O Greenall & J Guerriero
Race Winner
2/1

Reason for Tip

Six year old Guet Apens has only had one start on British soil which was last month at Musselburgh when fourth of eleven. Was a useful french flat racer and so that third was positive for hurdling debut here in the UK. Runs an extra furlong today from lto which looks a positive and will be fine on the soft ground. Likely to be much fitter today as the run last time was first for 19 months. In good hands stable wise and has a good jockey aboard in Craig Nichol. Very unexposed still in this discipline and looks capable of improving beyond most of this field and would not be a surprise to see him get the win here.

Vanilla Dancer

J: Danny McMenamin T: C Grant
Race Winner
29/5

Reason for Tip

Consistent type who’s last three runs read 321 and the win lto was convincing enough to back again given the rise is only 2lb. Has looked progressive since December last year and there’s a chance the ceiling is still above the current mark. Runs a familiar trip on soft ground which is no concern and Vanilla Dancer looks a big player today in this field of horses with largely worse recent form. Has the benefit of a top jockey in Danny McMenamin and he has a decent record here. Race looks to be between Vanilla Dancer and Holly Bird but Vanilla Dancer has been much more consistent and progressive and looks a likely winner today to complete a double.

Tipmans's Final Word

Knight Of Magic

1.12 Lingfield – 9/4
Trainer: James Owen | Jockey: Simon Walker

Knight Of Magic has been a revelation this year, landing three wins from his last five starts, including a comfortable success at Wolverhampton just a week ago. The slight drop back to 1m4f is no issue, having already won over this trip in January, and he’s well drawn in stall 4.

Despite carrying a penalty, his ceiling still looks some way off being reached, particularly at this distance on the all-weather. The yard does well here and Simon Walker is a positive booking. In a race that doesn’t look overly strong on paper, Knight Of Magic looks more than capable of going in again.

Tap Tap Shamie

1.50 Wincanton – 6/1
Trainer: Olly Murphy | Jockey: Sean Bowen

After a disappointing point-to-point debut in Ireland, Tap Tap Shamie returned from a long absence to win in nice style and was subsequently picked up for £48,000. He now makes his stable and hurdling debut for Olly Murphy, a yard well known for readying debutants.

This six-year-old is the most unexposed horse in the field and open to plenty of progression. The booking of Sean Bowen is eye-catching, and the Murphy/Bowen combination boasts an excellent record at Wincanton. At a fair price, Tap Tap Shamie looks capable of having a big say if jumping fluently.

The Hawkstonian

2.30 Bangor-On-Dee – 9/2
Trainer: Ben Pauling | Jockey: Ben Jones

The Hawkstonian showed a marked improvement last time out when fitted with a first-time tongue tie, running out a convincing winner at Ffos Las. That headgear is retained today, and conditions look very similar with trip and ground to suit once again.

This is a slightly tougher race on paper, but the smaller field is a positive, and Ben Pauling’s yard remains in excellent form. Ben Jones keeps the ride, and the Pauling/Jones combination has an outstanding strike-rate at this track. Another bold showing is expected.

Helga

7.40 Kempton – 4/1
Trainer: Andrew Balding | Jockey: Callum Hutchinson

Helga improved dramatically from a modest debut to win comfortably over C&D last time out in a warm Class 3 maiden. That performance marked her down as a filly with plenty of upside, and she remains the most unexposed runner in the field.

The Balding yard is in good form and has a strong record in this type of race at Kempton. With Callum Hutchinson aboard and further improvement likely, Helga looks a major player despite facing a couple of useful rivals.
