On Tuesday, 3 May, the horse racing NAP of the Day with SportsLens tipsters is Changing The Rules. He bids to make if fourth time lucky in the 2m 5f maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe this evening (6:00). Jessica Harrington’s runner looks well a worth at fine 5/2 odds.
Owned by leading horse racing owner JP McManus, Changing The Rules should be suited by the step up in trip here. He was also unlucky when hampered but keeping on into fifth at Fairyhouse last time out. Changing The Rules thus rates our horse racing NAP today and here’s why to back him…
Why will horse racing NAP of the Day Changing The Rules win?
Unraced in either the Point-to-Point field or bumpers, Changing The Rules has shaped better with each hurdles outing in his career so far. A fine fourth on debut at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day, the winner Carrig Sam went on to follow-up and now has an official rating of 134. As horse racing results go, this horse has run well in defeat.
The form of Changing The Rules’s second start at Naas has worked out well. Bring On The Night, who won that day, went on to be fourth at the Cheltenham Festival in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. Snake Oil, who chased that one home, has scored since. Smooth Scotch in third went one place better when last in action.
McManus and Harrington horse progressing with each run
Luckless in-running when badly hampered by a faller two out on his most recent start, Changing The Rules still kept on well. He was only beaten 6 1/2 lengths that day, so it was a good effort in the circumstances. The leading UK betting sites clearly think he can build on that over an extra furlong or so today.
With further progress assured and Jody McGarvey taking the ride for the first time, everything points to a big run. Changing The Rules just had to be our horse racing NAP of the Day today and a £10 punt on him with 888Sport returns £35 at his current price. That wager also qualifies new customers for £40 in bonuses with details below…
Rose Of Siena an each way play alongside horse racing NAP today
In the opening contest at Ayr, meanwhile, Rose Of Siena is an interesting hurdles debutant (2:10). Trained by Nicky Richards, this Califet mare receives weight all-round and shaped well enough in three bumper starts last season. The stable has a 20 per cent strike rate at this Scottish venue too.
Half-sister Little Actress, out of the same dam, earned an official rating of 113 last spring. If running up to a similar level here, then Rose Of Siena looks well worth backing each way at a top-price 10/1, especially with the overnight favourite on horse racing betting sites out of the race.
