Todays NAP of the Day

Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap - Southwell

Seven Fires

J: George Bass T: J Channon
Race Winner
5/2

Reason for Tip

Hattrick seeing Seven Fires looks the one to beat today but looking at this line up; shes going to be tough to beat. Very much inform and won with plenty in hand lto at Southwell on handicap debut. Was a smart win as handicapper only raised her a 1lb and she looks very much well in still. Goes back up to 6f today which is of no concern and shes still very low mileage and so further progression off this mark looks almost a certainty. George Bass aboard and Seven Fires has shown no reason why she wont run another big race. 9/4 looks generous and wouldnt surprise me if that shortens before the off. Hattrick very much on, likely winner.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Speculateur – 2.20 Clonmel (5/4)

Trainer: Gordon Elliott
Jockey: Jack Kennedy

Low-mileage five-year-old Speculateur looks the standout on today’s card. A point-to-point winner prior to switching to rules racing, he has always shaped like a horse who would improve markedly once sent hurdling.

That step is taken today and he does so in a weak and ordinary race, which won’t take much winning. Gordon Elliott’s record with first-time hurdlers is excellent, and Jack Kennedy taking the ride adds further confidence.

Conditions should suit, the pedigree is right, and a significant step forward is expected. Anything close to his potential should see him win this.

Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes (Fillies' Group 3) - Newmarket

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.

🎯 Dark Horse

Lemoncello – 2.10 Ffos Las (10/1)

Trainer: Venetia Williams
Jockey: Charlie Deutsch

Lemoncello is much better than his recent form figures suggest. A capable hurdler previously, he was sent chasing this season but suffered two falls — enough to knock confidence, but not ability.

Returned to hurdles today, he finds himself on a very attractive mark, back over his preferred obstacles and on soft ground that will play to his strengths. Venetia Williams’ runners often bounce back sharply in these conditions and Charlie Deutsch is a strong booking.

In a wide-open race, Lemoncello looks overpriced and is capable of a big run at double-figure odds.

Double Rush

J: Oisin Murphy T: A M Balding
Race Winner
11/4

Reason for Tip

Low mileage and progressive type for Charles Hills last year and won twice including over C&D at this meeting last year. Since changed yards and now resides with the Baldings. Very sub par and uncharacteristic run when last seen in October and is taken to bounce back on seasonal reappearance and stable debut today at a track he enjoys. Goes well fresh and has the benefit of Oisin Murphy aboard today. Lots to like and a very good chance.

Riskintheground

J: Harry Skelton T: D Skelton
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Winner of this race last year when it was at Cheltenham and makes his defence of the title off 1lb lower today following a string of lesser runs. The 11th place at Cheltenham in the plate lto can be ignored. Was running on very strongly until badly hampered by a faller. Was looking every bit in with a chance that day and is taken to continue that today. Conditions are well suited and represents a top yard in fantastic form. Stable jockey Harry aboard is always a plus and he has a good record here. Major player.

Sports Coach

J: Cam Hardie T: A Brittain
Race Winner
39/5

Reason for Tip

Five year old with form of 03215 who remains on a workable mark and returns to turf today after a winter on the AW. Has posted best efforts on the all weather but is very unexposed on grass and ran well at Redcar last August when third. Is fully fit and primed for a big run today and this largely consistent five year old is taken to be heavily involved once again. Cam Hardie gets the ride and he has a strong record for the yard. Lots to like.

Shipshape

J: Daniel Muscutt T: B J Llewellyn
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 6.30 and one who looks very much on for a big performance is four year old Shipshape from the Llewelyns. Might be 0-7 but thrived when sent up in trip to 1m6f lto at Wolverhampton. Second that day and yard have seemed to find this horses ideal trip. Gets the same trip today and is unexposed at these longer distances so further improvement highly likely. Great booking in Muscutt and Shipshape looks more than capable of putting in a winning performance today in this race.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Gino Bella – 2.50 Clonmel (4/1)

Consistent since returning with a third and a second in stronger races. Remains lightly raced and the 5lb apprentice claim puts her on a tempting mark. Conditions are ideal and this looks a great chance.

Celtic Art – 3.00 Taunton (9/2)

Impressive winner here last time and clearly thriving. Although raised 6lb, he remains well treated and returns under identical conditions. A repeat of that effort makes him a major player.

Allegrino – 5.30 Chelmsford (3/1)

Shook off a poor debut with a strong second at Kempton last time out. Open to plenty of improvement, represents a top yard and looks well placed to take a step forward again.

Mumayaz – 7.30 Chelmsford (6/1)

Consistent and versatile sprinter who drops back to 5f — a trip that suits. Usually finishes strongly and the race setup should allow him to come late. Always competitive at this level.
