NAP Of The Day
Some may see it as a “mad” decision to not only tip but NAP a horse who’s yet to even set foot on the track however by looking through the last race at Wincanton that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Of the fourteen runners set to go to post eleven make their racecourse debut so to call this a wide open race is somewhat of an understatement.
On the flat sphere, top class group race winner Nathaniel had a fantastic career but as a sire he seems to be excelling just as much. Two of today’s runners can call Nathaniel their father in the form of Handsome Samson and Dimmesdale. The latter comes from the yard of Tom Lacey who has his horses in blistering form of late with 6 winners from just 13 runners in the past two weeks. The yard are going great guns and the booking of champion jockey Richard Johnson is also a huge positive. There’s a tonne of unknown questions in a race of this nature but Dimmesdale certainly looks worth taking a chance on.
DIMMESDALE (WIN) – NAP
To send a horse a major distance is far from cheap and Tidal’s Baby heads all the way from his home in Athlone down to Essex for the final race on the card. Connections won’t be doing that if the horse didn’t have a lovely chance and as trainer Adrian Brendan Joyce has a 50% strike rate here at Chelmsford you have to stand up and take notice. The 9 year old hasn’t tasted victory since July 2013 but this looks a great opportunity for him to be in the mix once again.
Course and distance winner Monarch Maid looks a viable alternative especially with Luke Morris on board and seems the best of the rest.
