Thursday’s Best Tips
MY NAP IS CHASING A HAT-TRICK ON THURSDAY! Racing from Newcastle, Market Rasen, Taunton and Chelmsford. Daily Double pays 9/2!
NAP – My best tip of the day
Chelmsford 6.30 One For The Frog (best price 1/1)
Promising colt who was subject to strong support on debut and came there with an encouraging run before finding another nice filly too good close home; sure to improve from that and looks the one to beat.
A combination of inexperience and bumping into another nice type ultimately cost ONE FOR THE FROG on debut at Southwell. That was still a really good run in defeat though and he came readily clear from the third with the field well strung out. He is open to improvement and should be able to go one better here. Churchill filly Colombidea could be the danger but she’ll need to improve a fair bit on what we’ve seen so far. She should be suited by this drop back to 7f but still has enough to prove for me. Yakhabar is a son of Ulysses and he should be capable of better at some point but probably needs more time and experience judging by that Pontefract third. Bluebells Boy should come on for the run.
Newcastle 3.25 Return Fire (best price 11/8)
Left chase debut well behind to win impressively on just his second start over fences at Hexham last week; escapes a penalty for that 13-length romp and as long as this doesn’t come too soon should win this.
I thought there was lots to like about the way RETURN FIRE galloped his rivals into submission at Hexham last week. He made way too many mistakes on his debut in this sphere at Perth so it was good to see him take a big step forward. He has more to offer and given he escapes a penalty for that win as it was a conditional jockeys’ race there won’t be too many excuses here. It is no surprise to see him head the market and I’m hopeful he can justify favouritism. Matchmaking made a promising start to his chase career finishing second at Kelso last month and looks the one most likely to give him something to think about. Larry Looby is up another 4lb and could be vulnerable.
