Newsboy fancies his Nap, Tilani, to win at Bath and also hopes Orionis can score at Goodwood and complete his Daily Double
TILANI looks ripe for a quickfire hat-trick in the Download The Fairplay App Now Handicap (6.15) at Bath on Friday.A one-time winner when trained in Ireland – Tilani was 0-4 for Mick Halford before landing one of his seven attempts for Dermot Weld – Tilani moved to Ian Williams for the 2026.My selection was beaten at Wolverhampton and Musselburgh on his first two outings for Williams but came good at Newbury last Thursday, landing an apprentice handicap over a mile.Williams turned Tilani out at Great Yarmouth on Wednesday and, partnered by this afternoon’s jockey Jack Dace, the four-year-old son of Belardo followed up with a length-and-three-quarter call from Kamaway.Tilani shoulders a 5lb penalty for the latter success but is thriving in Williams’ care and, with Dace’s 5lb claim coming in very handy, he’s expected to carry on the good work.
At Goodwood, ORIONIS is the choice to make the perfect return for William Haggas by beating nine opponents for the British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap (3.42).Sea The Stars’ daughter progressed throughout 2025, tasting success at Ripon, Windsor and Newbury.A British Horseracing Authority mark of 90 demands a personal best on her first outing for 230 days but Cieren Fallon’s partner can prove up to the job.FRIDAY’S SELECTIONSGOODWOOD1.57 LOVE IS2.32 LAZURITE3.07 ST MAWES3.42 ORIONIS (NB)4.17 ENFJAAR4.52 CRIMSON SPIRIT5.27 NOGO’S DREAMHAYDOCK1.45 NOCHEBUENA2.20 MINZELLE2.55 ROSY AFFAIR3.30 TIME FOR THE MOON4.05 GOLSPIE4.40 KOKOLUNA5.15 YORKSHIRE QUEENBATH2.08 BASILETTE2.43 MADRISA3.18 FLIGHT SIGNAL3.53 SILVER WRAITH4.28 CONTROL ROOM5.03 SECRET HANDSHEIKH5.40 NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND6.15 TILANI (NAP)PONTEFRACT6.20 STONACRE JOE6.52 TOO MANY SPIRITS7.22 BETWEEN THE STICKS7.52 TROJAN SOLDIER8.22 BLONDINA8.52 POWERFUL RESPONSEWORCESTER4.57 BONGO MAN5.32 JET SMART6.06 CLOSING TIME6.41 PREMIER TENOR7.11 CREST OF ARMS7.41 NOBLE BLUE8.11 ICE JET8.41 SACCARYDOUBLE: TILANI and ORIONIS
