Today’s Horse Racing betting tips: Saturday 13 September Nap Of The Day Tip

Doncaster opens a compelling Saturday with competitive handicaps on ITV – who will seize the straight-mile spotlight?

• Hawksbill: two agonising seconds in August (Haydock 1m by a nose; Chester 7½f by 1L), now back up to his optimum mile.
• Trainer/Jockey: Hugo Palmer 4-38 (11%) last 14 days; Tom Marquand 4-48 (8%) in same period.
• Race shape: several hold-up types opposed by a prominent racer; Hawksbill have repeatedly quickened from a handy slot since being gelded (23 June).

Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

The ITV cameras turn to Town Moor where Doncaster host a well-populated Saturday card, with the curtain-raiser at 1:15 shaping as a tactical straight-mile handicap for three-year-olds and upwards. This PJ Towey Construction Handicap looks an early-afternoon litmus test for unexposed three-year-olds meeting battle-hardened elders, with the draw spread and pace likely to be decisive on the straight course.

Connections bring a mix of improvers and seasoned operators. Treble Tee step into the spotlight after back-to-back seconds at handicap level, while Hawksbill continue an upward curve since being gelded in June, having chased home Sir Paul Ramsey at Haydock before filling the frame at Chester.

Point Of Contact arrive consistent, Great Chieftain generally progressive aside from a blip, and Principality have a recent success on the board if breaking cleanly. Galeron, Cash and Bopedro supply depth through past high-level touches, whereas Atlantic Gamble look to be edging back to form. Urban Sprawl, Supido and Wild Nature add further layers, with Isla Kai and Tolstoy rounding out a field rich in recent evidence.

Jockey bookings add intrigue. Oisin Murphy partner Treble Tee, while Tom Marquand is aboard Hawksbill; both riders have been active of late, and their mounts are positioned prominently in the betting forecast. Trainer strike-rates point to Simon & Ed Crisford’s team running hot, with Hugo Palmer and Andrew Balding also well represented across similar grades this term. With conditions emphasising rhythm and positioning on the straight, early fractions should set the tone for a searching first test of the day.

Nap of the Day: Hawksbill to win – 1:15 Doncaster

Hawksbill look tailor-made for this assignment. Since being gelded on 23 June, he have shaped like an increasingly efficient mile handicapper, twice surging late when the race tempo finally lifted. At Haydock on 9 August he were touched off by a nose by Sir Paul Ramsey over a mile, clocking an effort that screamed “next time”. He then went to Chester on 30 August, a track that rewards know-how, and split two course specialists over seven and a half furlongs despite the configuration arguably dulling a length of his run. Those consecutive seconds (form string 220922) sit within a profile that features only one win from eleven, yet the recent pattern indicates a horse now operating close to his mark of 98.

Today’s straight-mile scenario should accentuate his turn of foot from a handy berth. The race contains several who prefer to be ridden cold, which can hand an on-the-pace or stalking runner control of the key splits. Hawksbill have shown he can travel prominently and quicken, a blend that suits Doncaster’s long, even run-in. Tom Marquand has four winners from 48 rides in the last fortnight (8%), and his familiarity complements a trainer in Hugo Palmer who is four from 38 lately (11%).

With the market heavily siding with Treble Tee, there is a plausible case that Hawksbill, trading a touch bigger in the forecast, bring the sharper piece of handicapping evidence at one mile. He carry 9-4 under an official rating of 98, which looks workable given those narrow defeats in stronger company, and a repeat of either Haydock or Chester should be sufficient to tip him over the line first on Town Moor.
