Why will NAP of the Day Captain Guinness win?
It has paid for punters to follow De Bromhead at Naas in recent years. Over the last five seasons, his runners at the track yielded +11.90 profit off a £1 level stake. In Captain Guinness, the yard has a talented if unlucky horse. Even his back form over hurdles, which includes beating subsequent Grade 1 winner Belfast Banter, reads well.
After winning at Punchestown second time up over fences in December, Captain Guinness ran into Energumene over course and distance. The winner has since bolted up in the Irish Arkle and again at the highest level at the end of last season. Energumene is one of the most exciting two-mile chasers in training, so this was a fine effort.
It is Captain Guinness’s fine third in the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival that makes him of such interest here. Shishkin was 13 lengths too good for him that day, but that one is unbeaten over fences. The runner-up, Eldorado Allen, has since landed the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. Allmankind, half-a-length behind Captain Guinness in fourth, also has come out and won two Grade 2s.
Rachael Blackmore has had more than her fair share of spills from this horse but rides Naas really well. She has a 20 per cent strike rate at the track with +22.25 profit from a £1 level stake with her mounts here in the last five seasons. Race terms also favour Captain Guinness, so a £25 punt returns £56.25 at his current odds. Should he fail to make a winning reappearance, then QuinnBet refunds the stake as a free bet.
