Today’s Horse Racing betting tips: Tuesday, April 1 at Lingfield
Could a Return to Form Spark an Upset in This Competitive Handicap?
- Jaxonne’s peak RPR of 95 came when racing on good ground at a similar trip – ideal conditions he’ll encounter today.
- Jonjo O’Neill Jr has a 17% strike rate over the past fortnight and reunites with a horse he’s won on previously.
- None of today’s rivals have won over this course and distance, offering Jaxonne a level platform despite his recent patchy form.

The going is set to be good, favouring those with past performances on similar ground, and among the leading market players are Seahouses, Ellerton, Roxhill and Jack Hoola. Seahouses arrives on the back of an improved spell, while Ellerton seeks to capitalise on a change in stable and step up in trip. Roxhill, meanwhile, is hoping to carry forward minor progress over the past month, and Jack Hoola’s combination of first-time headgear and slightly reduced distance could lead to a sharper effort.
Lower in the weights, horses such as Lake’s Aventurine and As Good As Can Be carry outsider tags but could influence the shape of the race if conditions unexpectedly suit. Meanwhile, Jimmyjeroo returns to hurdles in the hope that a drying surface helps his cause, though consistency remains a question. It’s a race where potential and past glimpses of form hold as much sway as recent results, and punters will need to weigh seasonal trends and trainer intent carefully.

Nap of the Day: Jaxonne to win – 3.45 Wincanton
A compelling case can be made for Jaxonne, who returns from a 66-day layoff to contest a handicap that looks well within reach based on past glimpses of ability. Though his recent outings have seen him finish mid-division or worse, a closer inspection reveals a profile that hints strongly at a spring resurgence, particularly on quicker ground and over intermediate trips. His most striking performance remains the commanding 12-length victory at Ludlow last May, where he dominated rivals under similar ground conditions.
That day, he raced off a mark of 81 and travelled with ease before asserting in the straight, delivering a strong RPR of 95. Despite failing to replicate that in the months since, his handicap mark has only edged up slightly to 88, leaving connections with a window of opportunity. Trainer Jonjo & A J O’Neill, while not prolific in recent weeks, have shown their ability to produce winners from limited runners, and the presence of Jonjo O’Neill Jr – who rode him to that Ludlow win – adds to the confidence.
Jaxonne has shown a preference for better ground, and with the surface at Wincanton forecast to suit, this represents an ideal setup for a revival. The absence of standout form among his rivals further increases the appeal, with Seahouses having to prove he can replicate his Market Rasen form, and Ellerton untested for his new yard. Jaxonne’s ability to travel and quicken when conditions align suggests he could strike here off a lenient mark. At 9/2, he’s a value play in a race that looks winnable with a return to his best.
