David Ord has the Friday best bets with the Nap in action on Town Moor.
Friday selections
ROARING HOME - 14:33 Doncaster (NAP)
She’s been knocking on the door in three runs this season and it could be about to swing open for ROARING HOME. Henry Daly’s charge conceded first run to Got A Dream at Warwick last time but ran on strongly to go down by only half-a-length. She’s back in against her own sex and up to three miles at Town Moor and both should suit.
KEL DU LARGE - 13:15 Cheltenham
He shaped with plenty of promise on his return from 21 months off at Exeter last time and the unexposed KEL DU LARGE is of interest with a featherweight to carry. A winner of bumpers at Exeter and here before winning at Hereford on hurdling debut in February 2024, he was off the track before shaping as if needing the run when third behind Don Virginia, rallying strongly after the last. He’ll be sharper for the run and an opening mark of 114 looks lenient on what’s he’s achieved so far with the scope for plenty of improvement.
WINCHURCH - 16:00 Southwell
He’s been running far better than his form figures suggest of late and now lower than his last winning mark, WINCHURCH makes plenty of appeal. He was denied a run at a crucial stage when sixth at Lingfield last time, running on well once in the clear. He’ll need luck in running on Friday too but if he gets it he's handicapped to win this with his yard in great form. The addition of first-time cheekpieces is another potential boost.
