BETDAQ VALUE FOR FIVE SPRING CRACKERS: Forget Cheltenham; it’s done and Mullinised for another year. Now turn to two Lincoln Handicaps this week, then three Grand Nationals, with all the facts and stats in the Daqman preview service plus big-odds winners of BETDAQ value.
DAQMAN WINS JUMPS CHALLENGE BY 34-14: We close the reckoning over the Jumps today, ahead of the Lincolns, and find Daqman 34-14 winners and 727 points clear of Pricewise of the Racing Post.
WEEK OF LINCOLN HANDICAPS
THE IRISH FLAT season starts tomorrow on turf at the Curragh, with the Irish Lincolnshire and the first Group race of the season, the Park Express Stakes.
So it is that we end the Jumps-only campaign today with the returns from the value challenge between Daqman and Pricewise.
LINCOLN HANDICAP: The English go back to turf next Saturday, with their Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster one of three mile races: 1.20 the Doncaster Mile, 2.25 the Spring Mile and 3.00 the Lincoln.
THREE GRAND NATIONALS: In the mix as the Flat season limps in are the Irish Grand National on April 1 at Fairyhouse, the Aintree Festival (Grand National April 13) and the Scottish Grand National a week later, April 20 at Ayr.
DAQMAN BOSSES JUMPS AGAIN
DAQMAN has scored a season-by-season 21-0 victory over Pricewise of the Racing Post, unbeaten since 2013 over Flat and Jumps, with 1,153 winning bets overall, more than double his rival in the value challenge. When the 2023-24 NH season was curtailed after Cheltenham, with just the three Nationals to come, Daqman had made a profit of 259.66 from 34 winners, Pricewise a loss of 466.83 with 14 winners; selections in matching races only to a level 10-point stake.

HOT STUFF? I SHOULD COCO..
⭕ 1.15 Chepstow Dan Skelton stamped his mark on Cheltenham this week, and Coco Mademoiselle (1.15 Chepstow) should cope with maiden-only-winner Roccos Inspiration.
Coco has been hot every time she’s run (favourite four times, odds-on three races in a row) and was 11212 since her debut until aiming too high and over too far at Ascot the last day.
⭕ 3.27 Down Royal With Mr Incredible diverted unsuccessfully to the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter yesterday, Willie Mullins best chance now is with Classic Getaway, but he has to bounce back from two bad days.
He was turned over at odds-on at Tramore on New Year’s Day, then eased and pulled up after bad mistakes in the Leopardstown Chase.
Adamantly Chosen was 7th in the classy Leopardstown race but has not won since an autumn double on good ground in the autumn of 2022.
Big value at 9.0 on Betdaq Betting Exchange this morning (2.86 for second), Longhouse Poet won this last year, well backed to get on track for the Liverpool Grand National.
With cheekpieces first time, we are entitled to believe that is the plan again, though there wasn’t a lot of difference at the finish 12 months ago between the winner and Roi Mage, who was giving him 5lb.
But Roi Mage, who had won the year before, has to concede double that this time around; though claimed off, he’s still on 147 (down to 144) giving 7lb to the 150-rated Longhouse Poet.
⭕ 3.35 Chepstow His CD success here at Chepstow the last day on heavy was Thor De Cerisy’s first win in a chase, and he’s still a novice at the age of 10. Not a horse you can bet on to put two wins together, even in a three-horse race.
Blinkers helped So Said I beat a small field the last day, whereas Happy And Fine has earned top weight.
He won back-to-back in December, prompting Alex Hales to have a go a grade higher at Cheltenham but is not the first horse to show his dislike for the course.

What are points? Points facilitate a staking plan, which is the secret to creating profit. One point is whatever you choose: a pound, a euro, or whatever ….
Start with a bank and decide how much you can afford to lose over a period of time, and determine the size of your bets accordingly. Daqman makes this variation every day.
