We creep closer to the Cheltenham Festival with action today at Wincanton (NAP) and Carlisle over jumps whilst Lingfield and Newcastle are your all-weather offering today.
Nap of the Day
We aim to make it four in a row with a tricky-looking day to be tipping. Consequently, it’s Wincanton where the pin has come down on the NAP. The second race on the card is a staying handicap chase which will be run in heavy ground. Windance was ready to win on his reappearance at Plumpton last month before an unfortunate unseating. The handicapper has him set to go up five pounds for that effort so understandably trainer Anthony Honeyball has him turned out again quickly before that rise kicks in. He won this race last year off just three pounds lower and, with Sam Twiston-Davies in the plate today, I expect a big effort from the nine-year-old by Shirocco.
