Noemie De La Vis the Banker at Punchestown
All eyes will be on Noemie De La Vis in the 16:47 at Punchestown, where the W P Mullins-trained mare is the AI’s highest-confidence pick of the day at 1/10. Boasting an impressive 95% confidence rating, she’s expected to dominate this two-mile hurdle on good ground (good to yielding in places). Partnered with stable star jockey Paul Townend, her chances are buoyed by Mullins’ electric strike rate in similar events this season. With 13 winners from his last 30 runners at Punchestown, the Irish maestro remains a force to be reckoned with. A repeat of Noemie De La Vis's dominant 11-length win at Fairyhouse in April should see her breeze past this field of seven without breaking sweat.
The odds are understandably prohibitive, but this selection is rock-solid if you’re crafting a safe accumulator. For a deeper dive into today’s racing highlights, check today's full racecards.
Another Winner for Team Nicholls? Golden Son the Highlight at Newton Abbot
The Paul Nicholls-trained Golden Son (2/3) is another AI-high-confidence pick, heading Newton Abbot's finale at 20:00. Tackling 3m1f170y on good ground, this novice hunter chaser is partnered by Miss O Nicholls, who claims a valuable 7lb. A consistent performer, Golden Son was a convincing 4-length winner over similar ground and distance just a fortnight ago.
The Nicholls yard has a superb record at Newton Abbot—operating at a 33% strike rate in the last 12 months. With no obvious weaknesses in the form and no standout opposition here, Golden Son is expected to deliver again. If you're weighing up whether to include this in a multiple, our betting calculator can help you plan your returns.
Arctic Voyage Leads Newton Abbot’s 17:30
Before Golden Son closes the card, keep an eye on Arctic Voyage in the 17:30 at Newton Abbot. Tipped at 2/3, Michael Blake’s runner boasts a 90% confidence rating from our AI model. Victory last time out at Wincanton over a near-identical trip of 2m167y puts him firmly in contention. Harry Reed, who’s had two wins from his last five rides, takes the reins.
The conditions today appear tailor-made for Arctic Voyage, with the good ground suiting his front-running style. With six rivals to face, including a few inconsistent sorts lower down the weights, he shapes up as another near-certain pick for punters looking to pad out their midweek accas.

Value Bet at Yarmouth – Beagle Bay to Strike at Evens
Ralph Beckett sends out Beagle Bay in Yarmouth’s 16:28, and the colt’s 85% confidence rating makes him a strong bet at even-money. The son of New Bay was a narrowly beaten runner-up at Leicester last month on similarly good ground, and conditions today play firmly to his strengths.
Hector Crouch takes the ride, and his partnership with Beckett has been fruitful this season, hitting a 22% strike rate together. The seven furlongs should be ideal, and the fact that Beagle Bay bypassed larger Saturday meetings for this looks a clear sign that connections fancy their chances. Those looking for a single selection might well start here. Compare his stats to the rest of the field using our horse comparison tool.
Competitive Handicap at York: Fahrenheit Seven Worth an Each-Way Punt at 25/1
The 14:55 at York is today’s most competitive affair, with 22 runners chasing glory in a 6f handicap. While the market leaders have obvious claims, don’t dismiss the big-priced Fahrenheit Seven, who comes in at a mouthwatering 25/1. Jamie Spencer takes the reins, and his affinity for patiently navigating traffic in large fields could be perfect for this sprint.
Fahrenheit Seven hasn’t always fired this season but was only 3 lengths off the winner in a stronger handicap at Newmarket last September. The drop back to six furlongs on this quickening surface could see him surprise. For those seeking big-value selections, check our each-way picks.
Potters Party to Shine at Perth
The 16:18 at Perth sees an intriguing contest over 2m7f180y, with Potters Party highlighted as the one to beat at 4/5. Miss Ellie Callwood is back in the saddle for Miss K Morgan, and the duo struck gold last time out at Sedgefield over a similar trip. A proven stayer on good-to-soft ground, Potters Party looks likely to improve further.
The Perth circuit should suit this prominent runner, and with confidence high (88% AI rating), he’s an excellent banker for your midweek multiples. For horses turning out under similar conditions, use our full runner list.
