Thursday’s Best Tips
MY NAP IS ON A HAT-TRICK ON THURSDAY! Racing from Southwell, Wincanton, Carlisle and Newcastle. Both Carlisle and Thurles have been abandoned. Daily Double pays 10/1!
NAP – My best tip of the day
Wincanton 1.30 Stormy Flight (best price 13/8)
Likeable type who won head in chest at Taunton, relishing the trip; remains unexposed over fences at staying trips and likely has more to offer so worth chancing against this field.
They often say it is the second run after a wind op that you see the benefit and that was certainly the case with STORMY FLIGHT who improved again from his reappearance run to win comfortably at Taunton last month. He took it up 4 out and cruised clear under Rex Dingle to eventually win by 6 lengths. He is unexposed over this sort of trip over fences and with the promise of more to come should be able to follow up despite a 9lb rise. Windance was pulled up when well backed at Exeter on return but quickly bounced back winning impressively at Fontwell last month. He did make a few mistakes though and was only up against 3 rivals on that occasion one of which pulled up. This will be tougher but he is still respected as the main danger. No Hubs No Hoobs is also respected if bouncing back.
NB – My Next or second best tip of the day
MY NEXT BEST RUNS ON THE AW AT NEWCASTLE ON THURSDAY EVENING!
Newcastle 5.45 Compliant (best price 7/2)
Progressive filly who has won 2 of her last 3 now showing a good attitude to win nicely at Kempton last month; that looked a decent race for the grade; should keep improving.
With 2 wins from her last 3 now COMPLIANT is looking progressive and while this is quite a good race I think she can follow up that Kempton win last month. That race looked really competitive on paper but she travelled strongly into it and took it up with still two furlongs to run. She stayed on well and was nicely on top at the line. She is up 3lb but obviously remains open to further improvement and I think she can go in again. The second has run since and ran well in third too so the form has substance. Tequilamockingbird is a likeable filly and looks the biggest danger. She showed a good attitude to beat Dinoo at Lingfield back in November. That horse has won since so that is pretty solid form. She has been beaten 3 times since but is holding her form well and should get competitive once more.
