The Neighsayers - 1st July Weekend NAPS

Lingfield - 8:45 6f Handicap 

Not a bad little race for a Class 6, with one of the previous weeks Eye-Catchers being the horse I will be siding with here. SPIRIT OF BREEZE looks a nice bet his at odds of 7/2, after a very decent run LTO on the AW. Travelled strongly in rear, tender handling through horses but ran on very well into 4th. the 1st and 2nd that day were all prominent so he did very well to overcome a slight pace bias. He looked like the step up in trip would be perfect for him  running a +4.12 finishing % LTO and he gets that step up tomorrow. drawn in 3 isn't the best but I expect him to be dropped in and ridden for luck anyway so its not too much of a hinderance.

Plenty of pace on here with 2/3 of the runners normally opting to prominent tactics, giving the ideal race set up for SPIRIT OF BREEZE. 1 slight worry on my mind is that he was pulled out at Bath earlier on in the week due to the going, so providing the ground isn't too quick at Lingfield, he should be going very close.

Selection - Spirit Of Breeze Win 7/2

Newmarket - 3:00 1m handicap 

A race that’s filled with 3 year olds, apart from ONE MORNING, the sold 4 year old in the field and that’s where I’m looking for my NAP of the day. She does have to give weight away to the 3 year old’s, but I think she could comfortably do that as she’ll be much more set in her frame, compared to the still growing 3YO’s.

There’s no much pace in this race, apart from the outsider of the lot Rising Bay so I’m hoping that he can take them a long at a nice enough pace before his effort simmers away. ONE MORNING would probably prefer the going a bit softer however she has gone well on soft ground and well, your guess is as good as mine as to what the track will ride like here.

I’m not certain Royal Charter is that well handicapped so I’m happy to take the favourite on. Dora Milaje is one that was probably better value for her win last time showing a nice turn of foot to get herself involved from last.

ONE MORNING’s comeback run at Ascot was more than promising considering the race was lost at the start being very very slowly away and nearly shipping Saffie out the side door. If she gets away cleanly today she should be very close at the finish.

Selection - One Morning win 7/2

Doncaster - 6:55 6F Maiden

This looks a weak enough maiden for a newcomer to take this, and OPERATION GIMCRACK, the 160,000gns purchase looks good enough on pedigree to take this. 

From a yard known to have some strong 2yo over recent seasons,  OPERATION GIMCRACK is by Showcasing, a horse also useful at 2. The Dam was also a 2yo winner and is related to some smart sprinters.

Selection - Operation Gimcrack win 7/2


Two of the lads are not fit for purpose this morning but the naps for those two are;


Above The Curve 11/4

Al Aasy 3/1

The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd - 29th September 2024

Weekly Eyecatchers 23 rd  – 29 th  September 2024   23 rd  September – 7:30 Wolverhampton    Breccia   Come from miles back here off a muddling pace, was stuck behind a horse who was getting eased off at a crucial stage, should have won imo and should be kept on side over staying trips   25 th  September – 6:00 Kempton    Nuptown Girl    Missed break and was slow into stride, green in rear and was always niggled slightly, race had already developed infront of her but she did run on well under tender handling. Will know much more next time out and could improve further for 7f+   27 th  September  - 8:00 Wolverhampton    Bay Of Naples    Hasn’t won for a while but his run here showed enough to me that he could be winning very soon. Raced pretty fresh here after 1 month off the track, raced handy and just got abit tired late on, will come on bundles for this. 17th October at Southwell f...

The Neighsayers - Friday 13th September

  No blog yesterday for the first day of the Leger meeting, mainly due to uncertainty around the ground we were getting. We’re back for day 2 though. 15:00 Doncaster - Big Mojo A lot to like about this horses chance today, starting with the drop back to minimum trip, showed his usual pace at York but failed to stay. Looks to be plenty of pace on in here too with Aesterius drawn on his side and then King’s Call, Zayer and Tropical Storm over the other side. If he sit’s just off these and strikes late he should emulate last year’s success for connections with Big Evs. A somewhat shock winner at Goodwood but should that was no fluke when running a good race at York when not staying as I’ve mentioned.  Selection - Big Mojo 5/2 General - 1pt win 16:10 Doncaster - Beatrice Shilling This favourite, Cabrera has to be taken on for me. So will be going in with Beatrice Shilling here. Without getting all cliche, she was doing her best work late at Salisbury and prove she stayed the trip,...

The Neighsayers - Thursday 5th September

 Nice to get on the board for September yesterday with Snow Berry winning at 15/2 (or 9/1 if you had the luxury), but with the 2pt bet going down it wasn't as good as we'd hoped for, but profit on the day nevertheless. 17:35 Lingfield - Ormolulu Think this is well worth an each way bet now seeing 7 furlongs for the first time and returning to the all-weather. Dropped down in the handicap considerably this year, beginning on 79 and comes here off 70 with the jockey claiming 3. This is the lowest grade of race she's ever contested too, being a 51-70 and now in a fillies only race that can only be a positive too. The favourite takes up a lot of the market here and he's not guaranteed to get his own way in front this time, with Twilight Dancer and Beveragino in the race and I think he's well worth taking on. She was keen in her 3 year old campaign but the hood seemed to have worked the oracle there and hopefully can continue to do so with the slower tempo of a 6 furlong...
