11 WINNING NAPS OUT OF 14: Daqman bounced back with yet another winning NAP on Sunday – I’M YOURS at 5/2. After a setback on Saturday, his naps resumed their winning ways to make it an incredible 11 winning naps from the last 14 (78%) including 6/1 and 5/1.
…. DITTO: It wasn’t just the nap on Sunday. He also included a winning BETDAQ MULTIPLES recommendation on I’m Yours at 5/2 and debutant Dittander who won the Kempton opener at 11/8.
CALM BEFORE A BETTING STORM: It’s the start of a brilliant betting week and DAQMAN is hard at work studying Punchestown alongside the flat form for Guineas weekend at Newmarket. Don’t miss his daily previews and of course his NAPS, the latest itemised report is:

I’m Yours was a very comfortable winner at Gowran Park on Sunday landing the nap at 5/2 but for me the race of the day was in France and Treve’s unbeaten run coming to an end at the hands of Cirrus Des Aigles.
Like most punters, I was with Treve, but betting interests almost took a back seat as these two equine giants slugged it out in a pulsating finish to the Prix Ganay at Longchamp. It was quite simply a superb horse race.
After a strong early pace set by Treve’s stablemate Belle De Crecy it was left to the two market rivals to battle it out with Cirrus Des Aigles beating last year’s Arc winner by a short neck or should that be shock neck?
Running plans have yet to be finalised but with any luck we will see the pair clash again in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. With the likely better ground favouring Treve and the benefit of that run under her belt it’s hard to see how yesterday’s result won’t be reversed come June.
I’ll be looking at the Guineas in-depth this week but am currently monitoring the going and what clerk of the course Michael Prosser decides to do with the watering at Newmarket.
There was 3mm of rain on Friday and Saturday with further ‘showers’ forecast – but the taps could still be turned on today. It seems, these days, you are seriously disadvantaged if you own/train a horse that wants genuine fast ground.
A busy start to the week with six meetings in the UK and Ireland. I like a trip to Windsor on a Monday and will keep the faith with Richard Hannon. I tipped up Dittander to make a winning start for the stable in the opener at Kempton yesterday and his Dougal looks set to land the Windsor opener tonight.
Currently trading at around 1.75 and strong on the BETDAQ market – the signals look positive for the sone of Zebedee (had to be with a name like that!) and he should account for Justice Good who was backed on debut at Newbury but could only finish 6th of 13.
The three-year-old maiden at 6.05 looks to provide Man Of Harlech with an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. He ran well on debut in a Pontefract maiden last season when runner-up to Act Of Charity. The form of that race has worked out well subsequently. Man Of Harlech should be even better suited by the much softer conditions tonight and rates my as my nap.
