Nap of The Day

Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

It’s another lively Thursday for followers of the jumps scene, with Southwell staging a competitive card that promises to test stamina and tactical judgement. One of the main features on the day’s schedule is the 5.10 Join Southwell Golf Club Handicap Hurdle (Div I), which brings together a group of mostly exposed handicappers all vying for a valuable Class 5 prize over a testing 2m4½f. With a range of profiles, from lightly raced types to seasoned campaigners, punters have plenty to ponder.

Among the field, there’s a mix of those trying to rediscover past sparkle and others seeking to confirm recent promise. Ivane looks to build on an encouraging recent effort, while Klapton Boy steps into handicap company with a sense of untapped potential. Meanwhile, Larkfield Lusive returns to a track where he ran well previously, and Sailed Away may have more to come after a fair reappearance. Yet, it is Scorsese who arrives with momentum on his side, having made light work of the opposition at Sedgefield last week.

This race headlines a day that also includes appearances from the likes of Rock On Tommy and Missy Mole, horses who have flattered at times but struggled for consistency. With several trainers operating at varying levels of form—Neil Mulholland’s yard in particular enjoying a strong recent run—this is a fixture that requires sharp reading of current trends over reputation. Conor O’Farrell’s booking on Scorsese again catches the eye, as he partners the gelding following their recent success.

As the afternoon progresses, the performance of those returning from breaks will be just as intriguing as the efforts of those sharpening their edge after recent outings. The betting markets are already reflecting the form of Ivane and Scorsese, with those two heading the boards, and how the race unfolds could hinge on which of them can best replicate their recent highs.

Nap of the Day: Scorsese to win 5.10 Southwell

Confidence is high behind Scorsese going into the 5.10 at Southwell, and for good reason. This seven-year-old produced a striking display when dropped back in trip at Sedgefield, travelling strongly throughout before asserting in decisive fashion. That performance saw him finish clear in a manner that suggested he remains ahead of the assessor, even with the added burden of a 7lb penalty. What makes his case even stronger is that the run came over a similarly configured left-handed circuit, enhancing the relevance of that display.

While the handicapper has attempted to level the playing field, Scorsese is still officially rated just 97, the same as Ivane, his nearest market rival, but he has a future mark suggesting there’s more to come. His BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 108 is the highest in the field, a full six points clear of Ivane, and underlines how dominant his latest effort was. Conor O’Farrell remains aboard, and although his strike rate is modest, he got a tune out of Scorsese last time and will likely aim to employ similar positive tactics.

Crucially, trainer Neil Mulholland has his yard ticking along nicely with a 25% strike rate over the past fortnight. In a race where many rivals are either inconsistent or lacking recent wins, the combination of recent form, a trainer in good rhythm, and a horse seemingly well ahead of his mark makes Scorsese an appealing selection to repeat the dose.
