Horse Racing Tips: Nap of the Day
Ben Linfoot has the best bets for Wednesday with the Nap running at Catterick.
Wednesday's selections
WILLOLARUPI – 3.17 Catterick (NAP)
It could be worth chancing Declan Carroll’s WILLOLARUPI in the Bet At racingtv.com Handicap over five furlongs at Catterick on Wednesday.
This horse was second to the now 85-rated Bellarchi over the course and distance last July and looks well treated off 70 now sprint handicapping.
Carroll has a good record in Catterick handicap sprints early in the turf season and this horse looks a likely type with conditions in his favour.
RIVIERE D’ETEL – 3.25 Perth
The presence of Willie Mullins’ team adds an extra dimension to Perth this year and the Robertson Homes Fair Maid of Perth Mares’ Chase is a cracking little Listed contest over three miles.
Mullins runs Instit, but he might have to give way to Perth regular Gordon Elliott here who has targeted the race with the smart RIVIERE D’ETEL.
Beaten into sixth in the Mares’ Chase at Cheltenham, she’s better going right-handed and looks sufficiently freshened up for this assignment after a six-week break.
OF COURSE YOU CAN – 3.35 Ludlow
Neil Mulholland’s OF COURSE YOU CAN looks of interest on handicap debut in division one of the Dave Newnes 60th Birthday Mares’ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at Ludlow.
The six-year-old qualified for handicaps after her third run in novice company earlier in the month and it was her best effort over timber yet with a good third behind Easy Peasy despite a mistake at the last.
With that experience under her belt she can improve again back up in trip from a mark of 95.
BILLAMS LEGACY – 6.45 Uttoxeter
BILLAMS LEGACY ran very nicely in second at Fakenham last time on her first run for 460 days and she can go one better in the Enjoy The Racing App For Free Mares’ Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter.
Fergal O’Brien’s nine-year-old only went up 1lb for the good effort and she was coaxed into that race gently following her time off the track.
The softer ground at Uttoxeter will hold no fears and she could be too good for this opposition from top weight.
WINTERWATCH – 8.10 Taunton
The combination of a reduced mark, Taunton, two miles and good ground can see WINTERWATCH home in front in the C & D Southwest Handicap Hurdle at Taunton.
Harry Fry’s six-year-old has spent much of his hurdling education at this track and he has shaped like he can win here when everything drops right for him.
A strong pace can help his stamina come into play, while the Fry stable is going well and the booking of Ben Bromley looks another positive.
