BACK-TO-BACK DAQMAN NAPS: Daqman has finished in front both days this week, thanks each time to his nap winning at odds against.
WON 11-10 VIOLENTI (Tuesday nap) Profit 1.20pts
WON 6-5 LADY BALKO (Monday nap) Profit 2.70pts
NICHOLLS FOR THE HAT-TRICK: Today he hopes to see his consistency – and that of a Paul Nicholls contender – rewarded at Newbury with the hat-trick.
BETDAQ 9.3? BELIEVEITANDBET
⭕ 12.05 Newbury This juvenile hurdle has been won three times in the last seven years by Alan King. ‘Kingy’ has two chances today, the drifter Raki and well-backed Believeitanducan.
Neither looks marked for greatness and unbeaten Listed scorer Liam Swagger has the winning formula, but you could cover your win bet with a place on the 9.3 King fancy on BETDAQ this morning.
⭕ 12.40 Newbury After a winning filly, we might get some magic from a mare whose stable has had four wins out of six in this hurdle and won it 11 years ago with the marvellous Josses Hill.
The same trainer took this class-3 maiden with I Am Maximus, who later left Nicky Henderson and achieved greatness for Willie Mullins with an Irish Grand National (2023) and a year later the Aintree Grand National.
We’re talking about Nicky Henderson restoring the promise of Mistress Emma, who has not raced for 903 days but is on the stable-tour short-list. Betdaq Betting Exchange 4.3.
RIGHT TIME FOR HERAKLES..
⭕ 1.15 Newbury Rarely when not teamed up together the whole time do a trainer and jockey produce the same high matching percentages.
But it happens here with James Bowen riding for Warren Greatrex, even though Bowen is 8-22 and Greatrex 3-8.
The chance they share is the 4-1 or so about Herakles Westwood. ‘Hercules’ and Kintail are the only runners with recent placed form; the three others involved in the betting have been absent between 243 and 322 days.
Kyntara won last November on the reappearance but was a beaten second seven times and beaten favourite seven times in a row.
Herakles Westwood, runner-up on a quiet chasing debut, won three hurdle races in a row at this time last year.
RIGHT TRIP FOR BEAU BALKO
⭕ 3.00 Newbury Trainer Kim Bailey’s blog yesterday revealed a secret source about the establishment of the internet. He says he will be at Newbury today to see his nine-year-old contender The Edgar Wallace.
The horse is so named after The Edgar Wallace, an 18th-century pub near Fleet Street, itself so renamed 50 years ago to commemorate the writer’s birth centenary; (I felt it was my duty to join in later celebrations)!
The race could go to Beau Balko, an apple of Paul Nicholls’ eye and who caught mine as he scooted round Wincanton over 2m 4f under claimer Ben Bromley last month.
He didn’t quite have the speed over 2m here at Newbury under Harry Cobden the last day but returns to 2m 4f here, back in Ben’s care.
And he holds over the others super consistency that has produced form figures of 22133312 in the last year.
