Tommytwohoots
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1600
Win
75
Tommytwohoots is frustrating for me, but he does bring enough AW ability to threaten in this. He was denied a clear run when sixth of 10 off 45, staying on late despite traffic issues. He does love 6f on AW surfaces, where he has prior wins and places. The visor gives him a 1-from-6 record, and with Rawlinson aboard for a yard that targets these, he could grab an each-way if breaking well from a fair draw.

Its Showtime
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+1600
Lose
-50
Been following Its Showtime for a while and she is fairly treated and has bits of form to get involved here. LTO she was beaten 4 lengths after travelling well enough and easing up late off 52. But prior to that run she was twice second over 5f off higher marks, including a neck defeat off 50 and a win off 56. So this return to C&D from a mark of 51 with a 5 lb claimer gives her a realistic chance if returning to that level, basically running off 46 as one of the bottom weights today.
Smasher
Daily Racing

@+400
Lose
-50
Smasher ran a cracker at Kempton 10 days ago, finishing third of eight over 6f off this same mark of 53, traveling keenly and bumping into trouble over 1f out, he then switched out and stayed on strongly to be beaten only by 1 length. That says to me that he’s back in form after a fifth here earlier in the month. With cheekpieces on, a handy mid-field draw, and Sean Levey riding for a yard whose runners often bounce back quickly, he’s well treated on his old form with wins off higher marks also
16:25 4:25 Thurles
Fighting Fit
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1000
Lose
-50
Fighting Fit is a battle-hardened veteran who brings serious chasing form. Course-and-distance winner previously, with a great record of 6 wins and 5 places from 31 runs on this ground. The tongue-tie has given 6 wins and 2 places from 17 runs. He was below his best when dropped to 2m3f, but a return to this 2m6f should see him run much better. Walsh is on board for an in-form yard, proven off higher marks before, and he'll love the conditions, so should be a solid each-way in a wide-open handicap here.
14:50 2:50 Lingfield
Sarabi
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+2000
Lose
-50
Sarabi returned to form when beaten just a length, second of six over 6f here in a Class 6 with a first-time visor. If she is now building on prior course success and with Rossa Ryan booked from a fair mark of 48, she can go well again. She also has placed stats on the Polytrack and in this class, so it all looks a positive to me.
14:43 2:43 Ayr
Cavalier Du Luy
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+750
Lose
-50
Cavalier Du Luy arrives with a win behind him when dropped in class LTO. Won easily by 2 lengths over 2m off 108. With his form becoming stronger and similar going stats are a 50% record, I'm inclined to give him another go today for a place at the minimum.
14:33 2:33 Wincanton
Bright Legend
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+900
Lose
-50
Bright Legend has solid Irish form and is still finding his feet for his new yard. He went way clear too soon and faded to a third over 2m3f off 115. As he is proven from 2m to 2m4f, I reckon this drop in trip today could be the right move. Maybe they are hoping for another front-run and he can stay on well with his burst of stamina. Isabelle Ryder also claims 5 lb and, while yet to fully match his Irish point runs with a Listed second at Limerick, a return to calmer waters could spark improvement, especially if he front-runs here over the shorter distance.
13:43 1:43 Ayr
Follow Charlie
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1100
Lose
-50
Follow Charlie is a course specialist who can give another good run here despite a slightly tougher mark. He won over C&D by 3 lengths off 103 three starts back, has a 37% strike rate at track and distance with 3 from 8, and has proven form on similar going with cheekpieces giving him a 2 from 3. Recent Kelso fourth off 108 was also very respectable.
13:25 1:25 Thurles
Roxhill Roise
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+750
Lose
-50
Roxhill Roise showed me some spark when stepped up in trip last time. Although she was beaten 19 lengths in a chase over 2m4f off 110, she travelled better than previously, so this to me hints at more staying potential after those hurdle wins at Tramore and Gowran. Placed on this course twice before with Gilligan aboard, she brings a decent each-way claim to this 2m4f, IMO.
13:13 1:13 Ayr
Klassy Pearl
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+750
Win
12
Klassy Pearl arrives with some solid bumper form and can improve in this weak hurdle. She was twice runner-up in Irish points before respectable hurdle starts. She was outpaced when sixth of 13 over 2m 5f, still green but should begin to step up now with Richard Patrick on board.

Young Churchill
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Wildcard time. Young Churchill brings some very useful Flat ability to this and although he was well beaten in a hurdle, the conditions were terrible. With some good Flat efforts and prior jumps placings, he could actually have a shot here. A hood now goes on, and he has shown me he can be effective on the Polytrack. Chris Hayes takes the ride from a workable 68, in my opinion.
17:02 5:02 Dundalk
Palmezzano
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+200
Lose
-50
Palmezzano can make his class work for him now with the experience under his belt. He ran another good race when beaten two lengths, finishing fourth over 1m2f off 70, staying on well after a patient ride. He previously posted placed efforts at Navan over 10f and at Listowel also. Effective at 10 to 12f and with 7 lb claimer Holohan aboard, he should run really well in this week race
16:02 4:02 Dundalk
Zabriskie Point
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1000
Lose
-50
Another do-or-die pick here. Zabriskie Point seems to have lost his way, but he is tumbling down the handicap for a yard with a fine record. He was always behind when 10th over 7f off 76, and has won just once since 2023. McGuinness has won two of the last ten renewals, though, and Cleary takes 3 lb off from a career-low of 74 over his winning trip with some Polytrack form. He could place if the break revives him today.
15:02 3:02 Dundalk
Never Shout Never
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+750
Lose
-50
Never Shout Never is becoming a bit of a cliff horse and is in my last-chance saloon category now. He is well handicapped to get involved if things finally fall right though. Tongue-tie back on now, and his last win came off 73 over 5f. He has several placed efforts at 5f to 6f here too. So, from a reduced mark of 59 back over 6f with a better draw, he may just bounce right back.
14:32 2:32 Dundalk
Sayonara
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+2200
Lose
-50
Sayonara is still learning but has shown me enough in two starts back at 5f. He was staying on third on debut over 5f at Dundalk before finishing eighth over 6f. Dropping back to the minimum looks positive to me after that debut run. A handy draw with Heffernan onboard so may be able to grab another each-way today.

Some Nightmare
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1100
Lose
-50
Some Nightmare is back in good nick and looks an each-way player today. He finished third on both recent starts, the latest when leading 1f out and only fading late over 6f here in a Class 6, so this drop to 5 could help him see it out better off a 1 lb lower here. With course and distance placed form, cheekpieces retained, and William Carson back on for a yard that has won plenty of these low-grade dashes, he will be dangerous if breaking on terms.
18:00 6:00 Wolverhampton
My Turn Now
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+750
Lose
-50
My Turn Now is a reliable course-and-distance runner who could perk up after a short freshen-up. She was below her normal when fifth of six off 46, but does come here with strong stats: 2 from 7, proven on AW and in this class, with the visor helping her gain a 4 from 13 record so far. Sean Levey and, as the bottom weight in this field, she retains enough talent at 5f to challenge if sharp enough today.

The Big Reveal
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+700
Lose
-50
There are quite a few I want to back in this race, so I have to whittle it down to gut feeling here. The Big Reveal remains one of the more reliable and consistent runners who can go well again. He ran to form when fourth of 10, beaten off 84, running as if retaining all his abilities despite the testing conditions, and arrives at the same mark with cheekpieces now added today (prior win in them). Effective up to 3m on any ground, his recent second over C&D means he loves it here. Although he was a beaten favourite last time, he should have solid each-way claims in a very open race here.

Shighness
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+3300
Lose
-50
Shighness is a stayer with upside at this trip, but she has been a bit meh after a series of slow, clumsy jumps. That said, she is a past 3m-plus winner in this Class 3 bracket, including a strong Hexham second over 4m and an earlier chase win off a very similar mark. So today, with Brian Hughes up, she has the right scenario if the new blinkers spark her mojo :)

Trinity Street
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+900
Win
20
Trinity Street could be a big danger in this novices's with her solid progression for Henry Daly. She overcame greenness and mistakes to finish a well run 7 length third on debut and built on a promising bumper second at Carlisle. Sam Twiston-Davies up and although beaten fave last time she is suited by this going and is effective at this 2m
14:25 2:25 Newcastle
Eire Street
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+750
Lose
-50
Eire Street is showing me signs of recovery and could mount a challenge here. He never travelled but stuck on well for a fifth over 2m4f off 98, and did show me some more decent ability returning from wind surgery after two prior pull-ups. Topweight here but with proven class: form includes a prior win off 107 and a placing on similar going. He also has a 7 lb claimer, Joshua Thompson, on board.

Win
12
Starfighter brings serious course and distance stats today and could revive under Billy Loughnane. He was a beaten eighth of 10 here over 1m in a Class 6, which was a bit disappointing off 48. But his underlying stats scream class, with a 5 from 23 C&D runs, proven on the AW and in this grade also.
16:25 4:25 Wolverhampton
Sisters In The Sky
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+1000
Win
300
Sisters In The Sky remains hard to win with but brings decent course and distance stats here. Third of seven, beaten 3 lengths here over 6f in a Class 6, where he lacked pace but ran with some promise off 46. He can build on a prior C&D win and has solid stats: 3 wins from 16 runs here. Cheekpieces keep him focused, with a 7-from-9 record, and he is proven off higher marks in this class.

@+750
Lose
-50
Shantou Lucky has a tidy record at this trip. He was extremely good when winning here over 2m 4f off 113, traveling and jumping much better than in his previous starts. With a strong record in the tongue-strap and visor combo and Howie taking 3 lb off, he’s not without hope here as he is only 3 lb higher.
15:40 3:40 Punchestown
Build A Bridge
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1200
Lose
-50
Build A Bridge has each-way chances here if settling better than last time. He was not himself when dropped to 2m, but prior efforts over 2m 2f+ confirm he's effective up to 3m. Hooded again with 7 lb claimer Harry Sexton aboard for his dad Andrew. This step up in trip should suit this 5yo Blue Bresil gelding's pedigree.
15:30 3:30 Hereford
Latin Verse
Daily Racing
Latin Verse brings top-class ability to this and has been off for a very long time. To be fair, he was rallying smartly, having jumped into the lead when falling three out off 116 and would have won, so he has proven form in this class off higher marks. Now with Ollie Murphy, this gelding should retain some serious upside judged on his Flat pedigree and prior placed efforts.
14:50 2:50 Plumpton
Hes A Latchico
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1600
Win
55
Hes A Latchico brings solid claims here based on his Leicester win and consistent profile. He scored by 2 lengths there over 2m off a 6 lb lower mark three starts back, and loves 2m to 2m2f. He then had a below-par seventh of 12 when up in grade off 114 so with Tom Queally onboard with past placed form in this class, and he returns to calmer waters here, he should go well.
14:00 2:00 Hereford
Draco Malfoy
Daily Racing
Don't normally pick these as there is no real value, but he is hard to ignore. Draco ran to form when beaten just 2 lengths, second of six, building on his hurdles debut win at Huntingdon and confirming his loves 2m to 2m 4f. Top-rated off 125 with Thomas Bellamy sticking aboard for Kim Bailey. He is a market mover and has a 50% record in this class. Looks an easy chance on lenient weights here against the rest.

Eddie My Eagle should be building on his improved Sedgefield effort. He traveled much better when beaten just 2 lengths second over 2m1f, showing a much better run than on debut. Now hooded and Philip Armson claims 3 lb off here.

Alan Bresil brings solid experience despite a recent backward step. He posted three straight placed efforts prior to weakening when fourth over 2m7f, and it was obvious he was unsuited by the step up in trip after better efforts at 2m4f. First-time cheekpieces today could help him focus, and this drop into a maiden looks an ideal opportunity against this field.
Catch On Me
Daily Racing
Catch On Me has been consistently progressive under Venetia Williams. He ran well when beaten three lengths third in a stronger handicap over 2m4f, so he likes this testing ground since arriving from France. Charlie Deutsch stays on board, and this looks an ideal opportunity against less-exposed rivals.

Gilded Dragon looks each way in this handicap, with the drop back in trip in his favour. He was beaten by only one length when eighth of 16 in a Class 2 handicap here and ran better than the bare result at high odds. That run followed a close second over 7f on the AW here earlier in the month, so his recent form is solid. He now returns to 7f, which is more in line with his previous best efforts. From a handy weight, drawn wide but with a strong pace, he is worth considering for place money today.

Secret Vino arrives on the back of a respectable top-five effort, and he broke his maiden by 1 length over 2m off a 7 lb lower mark on his last start. Jack Andrews takes 3 lb off for Tim Ellis in a race where his class record shines with 50% at this level. This 2m 3f test should suit him better. Win with an each-way edge here for 3p.

Prophets Corner looks a sneaky one to outrun his price now dipping into a novice handicap chase. He was going okay at Punchestown last time when badly hampered after 4 out over 3m and had zero chance from there. His hurdle form includes a Punchestown win and several solid 2m6f to 3m efforts, and the mark of 118 over fences doesn’t look harsh on that staying profile. Dropping to 2m4f at Naas with Darragh OKeeffe back up, he looks to me like a handicap project who can sneak into the frame if his jumping holds together today.

Eagle Fang can take full advantage of this class drop back, chasing after a respectable Cheltenham effort. He ran creditably but was out of his depth in Grade 2 company, beaten around 20 lengths off 142. This novice handicap looks like much more of his level. He is also a prior Naas course winner and has a solid 33% strike rate on this going.

The Great Nudie is flying high right now and can build on that demolition job here at Naas. She bolted up by 12 lengths in a beginners chase over this course and ground, and the positive ride unlocked her progression after some solid hurdle form. Sean Flanagan stays on for Colin Bowe, and with a 43% strike on soft it says she's thriving at 2 to 3m over fences.

Largy Star looks primed to make a winning start under rules for his new yard in this Naas maiden. He stepped up to land a point-to-point at Kirkistown, showing me some improved jumping and stamina against decent rivals. Now with top trainer Gavin Cromwell and rider Darragh Lavery, this multiple point winner brings serious potential to the table at 7yo. Solid contender in an open-looking race here, IMHO.

Saviour has struggled lately and looks up against it off this mark. He raced keenly here and dropped away to finish well beaten off 95. But, I do think he needs further, and this 2m test, where he has placed before, piques my interest again. With a 5 lb claimer from Shanahan, this gelding retains some decent placed form in this class and on similar soft going. Fingers crossed here.

The Flying Bee does face a stiff ask off 119 here, but she did run another good race when fifth at Punchestown after tracking the leaders and she was unable to quicken over the heavy ground. Tongue-tie fitted now with a 2-2-2 record, and she is proven at 2.5m, including a prior win at this trip. Placed off higher marks before, so she is suited by the conditions today with a 7 lb claimer from Martin. Each-way claim if they go a good pace for her.

Genepi George looks to me on the up and capable of getting seriously involved again here. He ran a cracker at Limerick, disputing up front three out and still right there when a mistake at the last saw him fade to third over 2m3f, so the bare form reads well in this grade. Back to 2m3f with Sean Flanagan, he has the pace to travel well, the stamina to see it out, and just needs a small step forward in the jumping department to go close.

Huit Reflets has strong claims to follow up his course success in this very open handicap chase. He scored well here over fences off a 6 lb lower mark, and his latest third off 89 was a solid effort at 2.5m. The visor keeps working well with a 3-from-4 record. Course, distance, and going stats are all positive also.

The Blue Room is a novice with some serious stamina and can go close in this Grade 2. Despite a bad blunder when closing late, he still nabbed a second, beaten only by 5 lengths at Sandown, and that form has been franked. Sean Bowen can get the very best out of him, and the Order of St George breeding says to me that he should love this distance on the soft. This stiff track can also play to his grinding style so i reckon he can be a big improver with the potential to place or win here.
15:35 3:35 Cheltenham
Impose Toi
Daily Racing
Impose Toi is a flying machine right now and can dominate this Grade 1 after he demolished them at Ascot. Nicky Henderson's superstar traveled like a dream under Nico, scooting clear by around 2 lengths. That was his third straight win with perfect Cheltenham stats at this course and distance. He loves decent ground from 2m5 to 3m, where his progression is clearly evident with his current mojo :)

Strong Leader is a top stayer, right at the top of his game after that battling second at Ascot. Sean Bowen rides again for Olly, and cheekpieces work well with his grinding style over this distance on good ground, where he's consistently placed in Grade company. Loves long straights to reel them in late, so a solid each-way, IMHO.
15:00 3:00 Cheltenham
The New Lion

The New Lion is an absolute monster with four straight Grade 1 wins before that Newcastle fall. Harry Skelton keeps the ride and has a perfect Cheltenham course record and an 83% strike rate on soft ground. A dual Grade 1 king with two wins here, he travels and jumps fluently also.

Where It All Began does need a minor miracle to figure in this after a string of disasters and that no-show in the Welsh Grand National. But Gordon Elliott and Sean Bowen can spark something from this staying pedigree. Cheekpieces have worked before, with a win and some places, and he's placed here at Cheltenham over these stamina tests on soft ground. So, with the rain, he could be a decent each-way if the stars align.

Fiorella Princess

Fiorella Princess brings rock-solid recent form and loves this 5f AW, so she’s firmly on my each-way shortlist. She bounced right back at Chelmsford, travelling sweetly and going down only by 1 length off 70 in a Class 5, so this does confirm she’s competitive from this sort of mark. Proven at 5f and 6f, effective on AW, and already a winner on it, she should get a handy sit under Crouch and pounce late again despite still being 7 lb above her last winning mark. Each-way player in this apprentice race.
Toolatetonegotiate
Daily Racing
Toolatetonegotiate looks primed to run a big race back over her favourite C&D here. She backed up a cracking Chelmsford second with a perfectly acceptable 3-length fifth in a stronger Class 4 here, never really getting there but did stay on late off this same mark of 72. Now dropping back into a Class 5, returning to a track where she’s twice won and often placed at 5f, and gaining a handy 5 lb from Wonnacott, she’s very well set to sit off the pace and rattle home, I reckon.

Boombawn remains a proper-class act and can mount a bold bid here. A solid third in the Grade 2 at Kempton says to me that he still has his engine at this top level off a 152 mark. Harry's the master aboard for Dan Skelton. Loves 2m5 and is fairly treated dropping from a Graded heat, so could be a big each-way player today.

Booster Bob is, in my humble opinion, a monster on the rise and can dominate this chase with his trademark late surge. Fresh off a demolition job at Newbury, bolting up by 4 lengths off a 9 lb lower mark, and his 54% win strike on soft ground says he should love these conditions today.

Sonic Pioneer can bounce back now dropped in grade after a tough Grade 2. The class drop should unlock his engine, as he is a flat winner with Grade 1 potential who bossed his hurdles debut. This easier assignment lets his speed shine on ground he loves. Bowen retains the ride for Martin Keighley, the same pilot as his last win
12:05 12:05 Cheltenham
Barlovento
Daily Racing
Barlovento is a proper progressive chaser and can follow up that Kempton win here. He travelled powerfully and scored with 1 length to spare off 121, so this 125 mark is workable. Olly Murphy’s yard is firing. Sean Bowen is just the man, and the Soldier of Fortune breeding, with prior soft-ground wins, says he’ll love the trip and conditions here. Big player with serious upside now chasing, IMO.
