The NAP of the Day on Tuesday, 2 November, is French import Huflower on his hurdles debut for Paul Nicholls. He makes his bow over obstacles in the extended 2m contest for novices at Exeter (1:25). Huflower appeals to SportsLens experts as the Bet of the Day today at odds of 6/4 based on his form across the Channel.

Now running in the colours of new owner Chris Giles, Huflower is a four-year-old Saddex gelding. He joined current connections after consecutive victories in AQPS bumpers in France. That form has worked out pretty well too, so Huflower rates the NAP of the Day for 2 November. Our tipsters look at the case for a successful hurdles debut in more detail at that sweet 6/4 price below…

Why will NAP of the Day Huflower win?
One major reason why Huflower is Bet of the Day today is his new handler’s record at Exeter. Nicholls has a fine 26 per cent strike rate with his runners at this venue over the last five jumps season. The Ditcheat maestro always takes a strong team for Haldon Gold Cup day to the track as well. Stable jockey Harry Cobden is also the top rider around Exeter in that period with a 20 per cent success rate in the saddle.
Huflower has seen the form of his two bumper successes across the Channel franked by the horses who finished second. In the first of those at Pornichet over 1m 4f, he got up in the final strides for a neck success over Herros. The runner-up has since bolted up by 5 1/2 lengths at Fontainebleau.
When last in action, Huflower stayed on well and held Guerrier Rose by a length at Angers. Again, the runner-up has gone one better since. Guerrier Rose went on to land a Grade 1 bumper at Longchamp beating more experienced and battle-hardened rivals. The form of Huflower’s two wins in France has plenty of substance to it, then.
Nicholls likes giving his smart prospects easy introductions to racing over hurdles. This looks like a great opportunity to do just that with Huflower. The yard has 27 pet cent win rate over the last 14 days with Cobden eight from 24 in that time. Everything points to a big run from Huflower. A £25 punt on him returns £62.50 at his current price. Should Huflower fail to win on debut, then QuinnBet refunds the stake as a free bet.
