DAQMAN LANDS 14-1 ACE OUTSIDER: After five winners from six bets in two days, including back-to-back naps, Daqman switched to the bigger prices yesterday and landed a 17.5 BETDAQ offer at Wincanton at 14-1 SP for the Golden Ace stable of Jeremy Scott.
Thursday: BETDAQ 17.5 taken
WON 14-1 PILSDON PEN
Wednesday: 17.50 points profit

Tuesday: 30 points profit

WON Evens UP THE AGENDA
HE COULD END UP A DENMAN
⭕ 1.45 Sandown The card has cut up badly, including this novice hurdle, leaving Daqman’s first Hot Spot as a supernap at odds on. But will there be drama?
Only three favourites out of 10 have won this Grade 2. The last two have pulled up and unseated rider.
But Paul Nicholls, trainer of No Drama This End, has won it twice in the last six seasons, with the best of them, Enrilo, improving later on as a top-line chaser.
‘No Drama’ went clear in the Albert Bartlett trial at Cheltenham last month and was described by Nicholls as ‘one of real class I’ve been waiting for since Denman.’
Looking for a forecast? All are winners last time out, but with Top Jimmy’s pedigree right out of the stamina text-book, by Kayf Tara out of a Flemensfirth mare. BETDAQ 18.0
⭕ 1.33 Sedgefield James Owen, who has a 44% strike-rate at Sedgefield, sends No More Bolero (1.33) on a solo mission. Raised 15lb for massive improvement at Ludlow but able to run with a 7lb penalty reduced by Nathan Howie’s 3lb allowance. BETDAQ 6.4.
DON’T PANIC, TRISTAN..
⭕ 1.58 Exeter Dan Skelton declared 13 horses for today at Exeter, Sandown and Sedgefield with Harry in the saddle at Sandown.
But Tristan Durrell, who claims 3lb in this chase on Harper’s Brook, hit the headlines when riding Panic Attack for a ready win in the Autumn Gold Cup at the weekend.
Can he now produce Harper’s Brook, taking on young chasers and sure to be a big price as one with a habit of throwing races away? In fact, Betdaq Betting Exchange offers of 28.0.
Sometimes a horse will ‘forget’ his quirks after an absence, so first time back (after 223 days) on his favourite surface could be the time to catch him. He’s won after a long absence before.
KEEPING THE MATCH AT BAY
⭕ 2.20 Sandown Doyen Quest ‘nicked it’ at Exeter last month, getting the good ground he needs and giving the odds-on Quebecois no chance of making any impression.
Doyen’s big-race quest was ruled out as a follow up and he is asked to repeat dominance over Quebecois on soft and facing that Sandown uphill finish.
I’ll leave them to their return match and side with Laurens Bay, a big-field Graded-hurdle winner here and impressive in his sole start over fences, with trainer Jamie Snowden’s current form figures 11110211, still standing.
SOME HISTORY HIDDEN HERE
⭕ 2.55 Sandown Hidden History won the race at Aintree last month that Haiti Couleurs took on the way to winning the NH Chase at Cheltenham followed by the Irish Grand National.
In d’Or was sixth in that NH Chase for Venetia Williams, after back-to-back wins around the turn of the year. Debuts for Fergal O’Brien today.
New Order won here in March so today’s race was on the cards when he reappeared at Bangor last month but ran a stinker.
Welcome To Cartries has been disappointing since winning only his maiden hurdle at odds on two years ago. Beaten favourite twice and also beaten at 4-1 twice.
