Nap of The Day

Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

Saturday’s fixture at Haydock offers a deep and varied card, headlined by one of the summer’s more historic middle-distance handicaps: the bet365 Old Newton Cup. This 1m4f event attracts a broad spectrum of runners, from seasoned campaigners to unexposed types still rising through the handicap ranks. It’s a meeting where developing stamina, adaptable ground preferences, and tactical sharpness all play key roles in determining the outcome, especially with drying conditions expected to produce ground that favours those comfortable on a sounder surface.

With sixteen declared for the feature race at 3:15, there’s plenty of narrative around several entries. Market leaders like Plage De Havre and City Of Delight bring recent consistency, while the likes of Paddy The Squire and Stressfree will be hoping to bounce back on better ground. Box To Box enters off the back of a win over shorter but steps into deeper company, and My Dream World—though first past the post at York—has a mark that now reflects his exposed profile.

This year’s renewal lacks obvious group-class potential, but it contains a cluster of improving handicappers trying 1m4f for the first time or revisiting it after time away. Many have posted solid figures at 10 furlongs but must now prove their effectiveness over further, especially in a field where the early tempo is likely to be fair but unspectacular. That shift in dynamic brings into play those horses who have hinted at needing a stronger test—among whom, one name stands out not only for what he’s shown so far, but also for what he’s yet to reveal.

Nap of the Day: Sir Lowry’s Pass – 3:15 Haydock

At BettingTips4You, we commit to offering just a single standout bet per event. By zeroing in on one refined tip, we ensure our readers get clarity, focus, and higher-quality insights. Our Nap of the Day is Sir Lowry’s Pass in the 3:15 at Haydock.

Lightly raced and clearly progressive, this four-year-old produced a commanding reappearance performance at Goodwood back in May. That day he travelled powerfully and asserted late with something to spare, suggesting there was still more to come from him. Although beaten when third at Redcar next time out, there’s reason to believe the ground was faster than ideal on that occasion, and the form still reads well in the context of this field.

Significantly, he now steps up to a mile and a half for the first time. On pedigree and visual evidence, that increase in trip looks a logical next step. By Siyouni and out of a Galileo mare, his breeding strongly suggests he will stay this distance and potentially thrive for it. The slightly easier conditions at Haydock should suit better than the quick ground at Redcar, and he finds himself in a race that lacks many truly unexposed stayers.

His current rating of 94 gives the impression that the handicapper has not yet caught up with his ability, and with Paul Mulrennan riding well lately and Ed Walker’s team operating at a solid 16% strike rate in the past fortnight, all the indicators point towards a major run. The lack of improvers around him in this contest adds confidence that a well-judged ride from midfield could see him produce a late, race-winning surge.
