Nap of The Day

Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

As we head into the final Monday of July, punters are met with a competitive evening card at Southwell, where the action unfolds on the Tapeta. With the clock striking 6:52, the Highbet Weekly Racing Rewards Club Handicap brings together a dozen runners, all seeking to break their 2025 duck in a race restricted to non-winners this calendar year. This Class 6 event caters to three-year-olds and upwards rated 0-62, promising a tightly packed contest over the straight mile.

Among the declared field are some familiar names with mixed recent form. Eden Storm returns from an extended layoff and will be watched with interest, while Makeen attempts to bounce back after a string of underwhelming turf efforts. Timeless Spirit, though winless in six career starts, has shown some flashes and commands respect. Similarly, Linear Spirit has hinted at ability over shorter distances, but steps into the unknown tackling a mile on this surface.

Moonlit Stage, wearing new headgear, drops in both trip and grade, whereas Magdalayna bids to improve following a poor first run in handicap company. Others, like Dance Recital and Almizan, look harder to make a case for on recent evidence. With Jack Jones’s Tiempo Alegre returning to the course of her standout effort last December, there’s strong intrigue to see if she can rekindle her all-weather spark on a generous mark.

Nap of the Day: Tiempo Alegre to Win – 6:52 Southwell

At BettingTips4You, our philosophy is simple: one race, one tip. We focus our expertise on isolating the best value in any given contest, helping readers cut through the noise and concentrate on the standout selection. This approach ensures clarity, simplicity, and a genuine assessment of our success, with each tip carrying the weight of conviction. Tonight’s top play centres on Tiempo Alegre, who is primed to deliver at Southwell at a juicy price.

Tiempo Alegre represents a compelling proposition this evening, and the case for siding with her is rooted in both form and circumstances. Despite a modest campaign on turf this season, her previous exploits on the all-weather offer encouragement. Notably, she secured victory over 7f here last December off a mark 4lb higher than today’s rating. That piece of form now reads even better, with the third-place finish behind subsequent winners over the same course and distance later that month highlighting her suitability for the surface and venue.

Significantly, the handicapper has dropped her to a career-low mark of 56. That represents a full 10lb decline from her last eye-catching effort at this track. With stable form a notable asset – Jack Jones has produced three winners from his last eleven runners – and Hector Crouch riding with confidence at a 24% strike rate over the past fortnight, the stars appear to be aligning. Her recent midfield finishes on turf have come in stronger races, and the return to Southwell’s Tapeta is exactly what she needs.

This is also a field where others arrive with either questions over fitness, form, or suitability to the surface. Horses like Timeless Spirit and Linear Spirit remain unconvincing over this trip and surface combination, while others such as Moonlit Stage and Magdalayna are still attempting to find their feet in handicaps. With little standout opposition and a proven record in conditions, Tiempo Alegre looks well placed to exploit a lenient mark and provide another winner for a stable hitting form.
