NAP – Best selection of the evening
THE NAP (BEST BET) RUNS AT NEWMARKET ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON!
Newmarket 4.45 First Winter (11/8)
Smart type who improved for the application of cheekpieces when opening his account at Windsor in July; showed a greta attitude to win bravely at Sandown last month and with the form working out well a 3lb rise looks lenient.
Top Rank won this last year and has progressed into a decent horse. FIRST WINTER could follow in his footsteps here as he looked promising at Sandown last month, digging in gamely for the fight. That form has worked out particularly well and a 3lb rise looks massively lenient to me. He should secure the lead again here and I don’t see anything good enough to go past him. King Ragnar is a horse I like and he continues to run consistently but the favourite looks a cut above and should always be doing enough. Scottish Summit is a strong traveller but doesn’t always find much off the bridle so has to be passed over.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) RUNS AT PONTEFRACT ON THURSDAY!
Pontefract 2.40 Dark Jedi (6/4)
Progressive sort who has done well since switching yards; landed back to back handicaps at Hamilton and Ripon and looked better than ever when second in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock 19 days ago; leading contender.
Hard to be particularly excited about any of these other than DARK JEDI who is the only horse in the race running consistently well and it looks an ideal opportunity to get his head in front. He has finished second in his last two runs and even though up 3lb this race won’t take much winning. If running to the live of his run at York he should take this. Frankel’s Storm could be a sneaky danger back at the track of her best performance and if bouncing back to that level would be interesting. Floating Artist is the closest in the betting but he has a bit to prove off the back of that Salisbury run so wouldn’t be for me either with the favourite looking to have an obvious chance.
Daily Double
The Daily Double consists of both the NAP and NB and is a great way of covering our two best bets of the day to maximise profit. They run at Pontefract and Nemwarket on Thursday as we look to get back on track.
