The horse racing NAP of the Day for Friday, 6 May, is Fools Rush In. He contests the opening race on the third and final day of the Chester May Festival, the Earl Grosvenor Handicap over an extended 7f (1:30). Hugo Palmer’s horse looks well worth backing at sweet 7/1 odds.
Trained locally in Cheshire, Fools Rush In has a different horse racing handler now that Tom Dascombe has left Michael Owen’s stables. He remains in the same yard, however, and won both of his starts at the Roodee last season. Fools Rush In is thus our horse racing NAP today and here’s why to back him…
Why will horse racing NAP of the Day Fools Rush In win?
Palmer has already had a winner and a second at the May Festival this year from just four runners. In Fools Rush In, he has a four-year-old Mehmas gelding who scored first time out and won four of his nine starts last term. Course form and previous race results are all important when having a punt at Chester too.
Fools Rush In followed-up on success at Haydock here despite a 4lb rise in the weights in August. Despite being slowly into stride and relatively unfancied on UK betting sites, he defied the hike in the handicap and odds of 10/1 to get up over course and distance in the shadows of the post. Fools Rush In now has a 2lb higher mark to contend with.
Today’s horse racing NAP on exploitable mark at track he likes
A mark of 95 doesn’t look beyond him by any means, judged on his gallant neck second off it conceding half-a-stone to Zip at Musselburgh in October. Fools Rush In got slightly hampered in the final furlong and was only just held, so the extra 100 yards or so is a plus. He also goes well fresh, so horse racing betting sites may underestimate him.
Ben Curtis, who has a 25 per cent strike rate in the saddle over the last 14 days and when riding for Palmer during over the last five years, now takes the ride for the first time. As Fools Rush In has won on all types of going, he just had to be our horse racing NAP this Friday. A £10 each way punt on him with 888Sport returns £104 if he wins. New customers also qualify for £40 in bonuses with this wager.
