Last time out, our nap Almazann won at 11/8F, making it two naps in a row.
Here are today's Twister Tipster IQ selections, built from our IQ ratings and checked against my own reading of the form.
🏇 NAP: City Captain (4/1)
4:37 Haydock, Weatherbys Stallion Book Handicap Stakes
Stake: 1 pt win
City Captain is our top-rated runner in this handicap flat, with an IQ rating of 71 and a 29% IQ chance (confidence: High). He has won over this trip before, and ran just 18 days ago, so fitness isn't a worry, and has won at this distance. Best price 4/1 with 7Bet at the time of writing.
🏇 NEXT BEST: Venetian Lion (9/2)
2:52 Haydock, M6Toll Road To Victory Handicap Stakes (Div II)
Stake: 1 pt win
Venetian Lion is our top-rated runner in this handicap flat, with an IQ rating of 71 and a 34% IQ chance (confidence: High). He has won over this trip before, and was a beaten favourite last time, so is well regarded, and ran just 16 days ago, so fitness isn't a worry. Best price 9/2 with Bet Victor at the time of writing.
