Today's Horse Racing betting tips: Friday 17 October Nap Of The Day Tip
Friday’s jumps fare at Uttoxeter: competitive mid-afternoon feature heats up the card
- Lookaway are 3-from-3 at Uttoxeter and return to hurdles off 135, only 3lb above their Greatwood second.
- Form after 50-day breaks or longer: 1361131, pointing to a strong fresh record.
- Latest chase start: third in a Cheltenham Grade 2 behind L’Eau Du Sud; now dropping in class.
Uttoxeter are the focus for today’s televised action, with the 3:32 Bagley & Rylance 80th Celebration Handicap Hurdle (Class 2, 2m4f) taking centre stage on SKY. It is a neatly framed contest for 4yo+ types rated up to 145, and the shape of the race suggests proper depth for mid-October. Brave Knight step up in trip after a solid two-mile return and will catch the eye given his profile, while Minella Rescue, thriving over further here this season, drops back in distance seeking to extend a purple patch. Dargiannini, a course-and-distance winner, reappears after a break that historically suits him, and Disco Davis returns from a novice campaign that hinted there is more under the bonnet.

Into The Park reappears from a workable perch, possibly wanting a shade more ease, whereas Masked Dance climbs in grade following a pair of runner-up efforts in May. No Ordinary Joe starts afresh for new connections and is tricky to weigh up; Glengouly reverts to hurdles post a wind operation; and I Spy A Diva is likely favoured by the return to sounder terrain.
The home course narrative is enriched by one notable factor: Lookaway are 3-from-3 at Uttoxeter and are back over hurdles after a spell fencing in better company. With several stable angles and jockey form lines to consider, the feature looks a proper test of placement, conditioning and tactical nous.
Nap of the Day
Here at bettingtips4you we only provide a single prediction rather than many different ones, as we believe in quality and not quantity and only give out the best tip per event. This approach keeps things simple for readers—no agonising over multiple choices—and it makes us fully accountable, because profitability can be assessed cleanly against one clear selection.
Nap of the Day: Lookaway to win – 3.32 Uttoxeter
Lookaway return to hurdles with the right blend of freshness, track affinity and handicapping leeway. Their Uttoxeter record is flawless (3-3), including a demolition over this very trip, and the reversion from novice chases to a Class 2 handicap feels a drop in depth that plays strongly to their strengths. The post-op profile is encouraging: the March wind procedure explains the absence and should enhance finishing efficiency. When examined through the lens of reliable layoff data, their form after 50-day breaks or longer—1361131—reads like a horse who turns up ready. Operating from 135, just 3lb above the Greatwood second to Iberico Lord, they remain attractively treated relative to peak efforts achieved in better races than today’s.
Recent Grade 1 and Grade 2 form stamps quality: a placed run at Aintree over 2m½f on soft, a narrow second at Newbury over 2m4½f, and a Cheltenham novice success underline both class and trip versatility. Today’s 2m4f, on a track they clearly relish, should draw out cruising speed before the business end. The opposition contain improvers—Brave Knight, Minella Rescue, Dargiannini, Disco Davis—but none marry proven Uttoxeter mastery with graded depth like Lookaway. With Jack Quinlan’s course-perfect partnership, the case is cohesive.
