The Neighsayers - Saturday 8th July

A typically busy Saturday's racing, which can be hard enough as it is, never mind with uncertain weather thrown into the equation. However, we deal with the cards we're dealt and hopefully they're drawn favourably. Here are our NAP's for this weekend's racing and hopefully, they can be better than previous weekend's.

17:12 Beverley - Mascani - Weatherbys Bloodstock Pro Handicap (15/8) (@swan1_oliver)

My weekend NAP is the Grant Tuer trained MASCANI. This horse has been tried in his maidens over shorter trips that it’s pedigree suggests would suit and a step up and handicap debut to 1m 2 seems to be great placing by the trainer. 

The best of his work has been late in runs, and I think this trip will be the making of the horse. The booking of Benoit De La Sayette is also eye-catching.


3:00 Sandown - Stenton Glider - Coral Distaff (11/4) (@racing_lew)

I don’t think this is the strongest listed race we’ll see and I think 11/4 is on the bigger side of where she should be. STENTON GLIDER was impressive as she finished 2nd in Fred Darling on reappearance.

The English 1000 guineas she ran no sort of race, as did many of their male counter-part that weekend so a line can be drawn swiftly through it.

She ran in the German equivalent on much quicker ground and she really showed her true ability. She got better the further she went and stayed on through the line impressively. I think that run can be given a serious mark up too as she was drawn wide and travelled wide all the way round giving lengths to the winner all the way round.

In this field I think there’s much of a muchness and nothing bar Magical Sunset who could trouble her. This is a very confident selection from me and one I’ll be watching with anticipation.

14:05 Haydock - Banderas - Bet365 Handicap (10/1 E/W) (@elliotwhite5)

My nap this week will be familiar to followers, Quinny's horse to follow BANDERAS. Since getting beat at short odds on seasonal debut (form has been franked by the first and second)he travelled like a dream in a Newbury maiden before getting chinned late. 

He then got off the mark at Chester’s May meeting showing some battling qualities to grind out the win. The step up in trip to 1m6f he gets now looking like it will suit as well as the fact he’ll get to run in a decent sized field for the first time which will definitely be to his benefit.

He has handled the cut in the cut in the ground no problem in his last 2 starts and with Haydock potentially getting up to 23mm on Saturday morning he could yet again have the same conditions. If the rain does materialise I can definitely see the market latching on to him and going off shorter than the current 10/1 available. At this price he is a solid each way bet for me.

Good luck if you're following and with your own selections too. Be lucky.

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...
