Lucky 15 Tips For Today

Kit’s Coty returns to a course she knows well and arrives on the back of a tidy Ludlow success, earned after a mid-September wind operation that appears to have unlocked a more fluent finish. She’s up just 2 lb for that victory, which underplays the authority she showed late on when stamina and jumping accuracy started to count. With Emma Lavelle’s team ticking along and Jonathan Burke retaining the ride, continuity and confidence are firmly in her corner.

Hereford’s right-handed, rhythm-based test suits mares who settle and conserve petrol for the final half-mile. Kit’s Coty previously scored over hurdles here, so track familiarity is a plus. The opposition looks of a similar level to Ludlow, and this race shape again promises a steady tempo turning into a stamina examination. With recent wind tweaks aiding her ability to see out 3m+, she holds solid claims of backing up that success and setting our Lucky 15 off to a strong start.

Noble Park, a Walk In The Park gelding owned by Michael Buckley, graduates to fences for the Nicky Henderson–Nico de Boinville axis and can improve markedly for the switch. His placed efforts at Sandown and Warwick hinted at untapped potential, while a tilt at Punchestown came in deeper waters than today. Henderson’s novices often sharpen up when seeing a fence, and schooling reports suggest this lad has taken well to the new discipline.

Hereford rewards accuracy and tempo; Noble Park’s neat technique and relaxed way of going look tailor-made for a smooth first spin over the larger obstacles. With a workable mark and a yard renowned for targeted placement at this stage of the season, he can gain lengths with clean jumping and press home class late. If he travels on the bridle turning for home, a professional round should be enough to open his account and bank the second leg.

Calvino shaped like a winner-in-waiting when narrowly denied on hurdling debut at Newton Abbot after a decisive bumper success. That first outing over timber revealed professionalism: he travelled sweetly, measured his obstacles, and only gave way late, suggesting fitness and experience would bring him forward. Paul Nicholls’s second-time-out hurdlers often take a sizeable step, particularly when nudged up in trip to extract stamina and settle the rhythm.

Lingfield’s undulations demand balance and concentration, but Calvino’s compact action and composed head carriage should cope well. With stable momentum and a likely positive ride, he can sit handy, conserve energy, and press on down the far side. The yard’s record in similar late-autumn novice events is excellent, and this looks a logical target to convert promise into a win. Expect a slicker round, stronger finish, and a performance that marks him out as a progressive recruit for the season ahead.

Blue Betty returns from a wind operation and a subsequent reset after finishing down the field in a Grade 2 mares’ bumper at Aintree where she was later found to be lame. Prior to that, she produced a polished debut victory at Newcastle, travelling like a mare with a sizeable engine. Dropping to calmer waters for her first go over hurdles, she meets a field she can boss with a clean round.

Huntingdon’s flat, fair circuit helps athletic mares settle and use cruising speed, which plays to her strengths. Trainer intent looks positive—this yard has a neat record with mares off a break following corrective procedures—and work at home reportedly points to renewed zest. A senior rider is a further vote of confidence. If she jumps economically and finds a rhythm early, her class edge should surface turning in. She rates a value final leg with the scope to win tidily.
