The horse racing NAP of the Day on Thursday, 19 May with SportsLens experts is Reach For The Moon. He returns to the action in the Listed 1m Heron Stakes at Sandown Park today (7:15). This royal runner for John and Thady Gosden looks a great value bet trading around 85/40.

A Group 3 at this top horse racing venue as a juvenile, Reach For The Moon carries the colours of The Queen. Once a potential prospect for The Derby, he takes a major ease in grade from his last couple of assignments. That makes Reach For The Moon the one to beat. He is thus our horse racing NAP today.
Why will horse racing NAP of the Day Reach For The Moon win?
The Gosden stable have won the last three renewals of this three-year-olds only contest. In Reach For The Moon, they have a Sea The Stars colt that will clearly stay further than the 7f he was campaigned over last year. The yard has a 24 per cent strike rate at Sandown since Thady’s name was added to the licence and top betting sites fear these powerful connections.
Reach For The Moon took high rank among last season’s juveniles. Only Point Lonsdale, who won Group races on his next two starts, proved too good for him in the Chesham during the Royal meeting at Ascot. Reach For The Moon then got his head in front at Newbury before an impressive horse racing result in the Solario Stakes here.
He won with any amount in hand eased down. The runner-up, Great Max, was far from disgraced when fifth in the Group 1 Vincent O’Brien National Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend at The Curragh next time out. Reach For The Moon then went down fighting by a head in a ding-dong tussle in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster on St Leger day.
Today’s horse racing NAP the only course winner in line-up
Again, the form has been franked by third home, Twilight Jet, winning a couple of Group 3s since. Even the last of the four on Town Moor, Lusail, outran odds of 80/1 on horse racing betting sites to be sixth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. Reach For The Moon is the only previous Sandown scorer in the line-up with regular jockey Frankie Dettori aboard.
He has a 34 per cent strike rate at the Esher venue over the last five years. Backing all of Dettori’s mounts blind here in that time would’ve yielded £7.44 profit off a £1 level stake. Reach For The Moon just had to be our horse racing NAP on 19 May. A £10 punt on him with 888Sport returns £31.25 if he wins and qualifies new customers for £40 in bonuses.
