Today’s Daily Nap
Arkenstaar
Pontefract 4.15 (UK time)
Michael Dods reliable handicapper has been running well in victory and defeat all summer in the north, and has optimum conditions to go close at Pontefract on Sunday. An expected fast pace over the stiff mile on fast ground should set things up nicely for his customary strong late charge, and Connor Beasley will be looking to pounce up the final climb to home.
Odds: 5.50
Today’s Value Angle
Adaay in Devon
Pontefract 4.45 (UK time)
Rod Millman has maintained a creditable strike rate over the last few months, and his useful frontrunning filly looks the one to side with in this valuable listed prize. She ran really well when fourth at Ascot last time out under the burden of 9-13 in a strong handicap, rather harried on a fast pace, and this stiffer track should suit ideally given her excellent attitude under pressure.
Odds: 6.00
