3
3/1(+33%)
(9) Navajo Indy 3/1, Course bumper winner in November who made an encouraging start to his hurdle career when 3 lengths second of 16 at Exeter (17f, heavy) just before Christmas. There should be more to come from him.

Jim De Sarti

14
14/1(-155%)

66
66/1(-230%)

Aworkinprogress

200
200/1(-100%)
(3) Aworkinprogress 200/1, Maiden pointer and more one for handicaps after this based on his 2 efforts in novice hurdles this winter.

Ruler Legend

100
100/1(-525%)
(12) Ruler Legend 100/1, Useful Irish Flat performer in 2022 but nowhere near that level in 2 hurdle outings for current yard. Way too soon to write him off in this sphere but he might be more one for handicaps after this.

250
250/1(-150%)

(9) Into The Park 9/4, 5-y-o who improved plenty again when third of 14 in maiden hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to further improvement and looks up to winning a novice hurdle.

Entity Of Substanz

7
7/1(-75%)
(7) Entity Of Substanz 7/1, No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Eva's Oskar, stays 33f, and useful hurdler/chaser Amore Alato. Dam (c120/h121) 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner. Noteworthy newcomer to watch closely in the betting.

Officer Of State

12
12/1(-9%)
(11) Officer Of State 12/1, Useful on the Flat (stays 15f) for Andre Fabre. Sold for 65,000 gns in October and should improve on his opening effort in this sphere when last of 5 in introductory event over C&D 24 days ago.

Diamatiste

150

(5) Diamatiste 150/1, Fourth both starts in points but showed only minor promise when filling same position in a 10-runner Exeter novice (16.7f, heavy) on recent Rules debut.

Chancellorstown

25
25/1(+0%)

Soir De Gala

14
14/1(-56%)
(13) Soir De Gala 14/1, Promise on Wincanton bumper debut in April but has folded tamely both outings since, including on Exeter hurdling debut 22 days ago.

Diesel Line

5.5
11/2(+39%)
(6) Diesel Line 11/2, Attracted support and made a winning debut in good style in 9-runner bumper at Exeter last February. Could only manage a remote third on his hurdle debut at Taunton 9 months later but should do better. Hood goes on.
Bumper winner; let down by his jumping on the switch to hurdles but retains potential.
2

Aworkingman

300
300/1(-200%)
(2) Aworkingman 300/1, Sent off at 150/1 when pulled up on Ffos Las debut last month.

Tough Approach

66
66/1(-65%)
(14) Tough Approach 66/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points in March and showed plenty to work on when third in a Newton Abbot bumper but made an unpromising start to hurdle career at Uttoxeter in November. Tongue strap on for 1st time (also had breathing op).
Form dipped last time but subsequent wind surgery may have positive effect.
4

Dancing Master

300
300/1(-355%)
(4) Dancing Master 300/1, Poor handicapper on Flat in Jersey nowadays, stays 16.5f: has left Christa Cuthbert. Hard to recommend on hurdle debut.

Valadon

2
2/1(-21%)
(1) Valadon 2/1, Both starts at Exeter, building on a promising debut second when going one better in a small field 25 days later. Has a penalty to shoulder but he's likely capable of better. Leading claims.
Solid second on debut; went one better next time, again at Exeter; respected.
7
2nd (7) Wreckless Eric (3/1 +63%)
Wreckless Eric

3
3/1(+63%)
(7) Wreckless Eric 3/1, Masterstroke gelding. Dam (c125/h122), 2¼m/19f hurdle/chase winner in France, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France (17f-2¼m winner) Dianakova. Newcomer to note in the betting.
£38,000 2yo; respectable French pedigree; sole newcomer in the field; check the betting.

Kalif D'airy

4
4/1(+60%)
(4) Kalif D'airy 4/1, Authorized gelding who hinted at ability when 13¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Kel Du Large in listed bumper (14/1) at Cheltenham on debut 22 days ago. Makes a quick switch to hurdles for last year's winning yard.
Shaped better than bare result in Listed bumper at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.

Dameofthecotswolds

9/1(-260%)
(8) Dameofthecotswolds 9/1, Bumper winner. Promising first run over hurdles when second at Ludlow in December but not in anything like the same form when a remote third back there 16 days later.
Distant third last time but looks one of the main players on earlier form.
2
5th (2) Kabuki (9/2 +36%)
Kabuki

4.5
9/2(+36%)
(2) Kabuki 9/2, Made a winning start to his career in a Newcastle bumper just before Christmas. Interesting recruit to hurdles.
Half-length success in Newcastle bumper last month; bred to develop into a useful sort.

Marrakushi

11
11/1(-83%)
(6) Marrakushi 11/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle for David Pipe but more encouraging signs for new stable when 15 lengths third of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Taunton just after Christmas.
Appeared to improve at Taunton for new yard; booking of Harry Cobden is a plus.
5
7th (5) Macari (33/1 -136%)
Macari

33
33/1(-136%)
(5) Macari 33/1, Modest form when mid-field in 2 bumpers in November and similar story in a pair of juvenile hurdles in recent weeks. Others preferred.
Minor form in bumpers and juvenile hurdles; needs improvement.
3

Kadiwo

100

LTO Selection:

14:00 Newbury Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

On the balance of his Exeter form, VALADON looks capable of defying a 7lb penalty. Kabuki is second choice.

Abuffalosoldier

10
10/1(+17%)
(1) Abuffalosoldier 10/1, Won a 3m handicap hurdle here last season but lost his way a little after finishing a good third at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Well held 2 of his 3 starts over fences in recent months and has work to do. Headgear on/hand wind operation.
Sole start at Newbury resulted in hurdle win off 1lb higher; interesting back here.
12

Blairgowrie

4.5
9/2(-29%)
(12) Blairgowrie 9/2, Off the mark over hurdles in 13-runner handicap at this course (24.2f, good) 22 months ago. Not seen since but is in fine hands and must be taken seriously on return/chase debut.
Won off this mark over hurdles here when last seen; chasing type; interesting.
2
3rd (2) King's Threshold (7/2 +50%)
King's Threshold

3.5
7/2(+50%)
(2) King's Threshold 7/2, Fairly-useful hurdler who found improvement when second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft, 4/1) on chase debut 71 days ago. Step up in trip is a plus and he may have more to offer yet.
Ran well (clear second) switched to fences at Kempton ten weeks ago; respected.
13
4th (13) Invincible Nao (9/2 +40%)
Invincible Nao

4.5
9/2(+40%)
(13) Invincible Nao 9/2, French juvenile hurdle winner who displayed fair form without getting his head in front in that sphere for present yard. Left chase debut well behind when third in Lingfield handicap (20f, good to soft) latest and merits consideration.
0-8 in Britain but ran encouragingly in small field at Lingfield most recently.
9
5th (9) Earth King (17/2 +39%)
Earth King

8.5
17/2(+39%)
(9) Earth King 17/2, Went the right way over hurdles last season, readily winning an Exeter novice (18.5f) in February before good second at Taunton (19f) the following month. Fared better than previously in this sphere when third of 7 in handicap at Wincanton (20.2f, soft) last month but this looks more competitive.
Bounced back to form at Wincanton on Boxing Day and could go well again.
3
6th (3) Trincomalee (22/1 -120%)
Trincomalee

22
22/1(-120%)
(3) Trincomalee 22/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who posted a good second in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) when last seen 21 months ago. Back chasing for his comeback run and is likely best watched.
Has to overcome 21-month absence and returns as a veteran (aged 11 now).
10
7th (10) Gazette Bourgeoise (8/1 -33%)
Gazette Bourgeoise

8
8/1(-33%)
(10) Gazette Bourgeoise 8/1, Scored twice over hurdles and, though yet to strike in this sphere, she went close to doing so back from 8 months off at Ffos Las (21.5f) in December, idling run-in and collared late on. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now and she is one for the shortlist.
Went very close at Ffos Las six weeks ago; now 3lb higher in a deeper race.
7
8th (7) Island Run (10/1 -43%)
Island Run

10
10/1(-43%)
(7) Island Run 10/1, Dual winner over hurdles who has taken well to the larger obstacles, latest when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (11/4) at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Should give another good account.
Goes well fresh and has possibilities on return from 11-week break.
14
9th (14) Baddesley (40/1 -100%)
Baddesley

40
40/1(-100%)
(14) Baddesley 40/1, Temperamental sort. Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Produced a laboured effort when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f) earlier this month and makes limited appeal. Visor back on.
Modest effort returned to fences last time; more exposed than many.
5

Not At Present

33

(5) Not At Present 33/1, Four-time winner over hurdles who matched best form in that sphere when second of 3 in novice at Bangor (20.3f, good) on debut over fences in July 2022. Not seen since but is worth monitoring closely in market on return.
Absent since July 2022; on a favourable mark but goes without usual headgear.
4

Off To A Flyer

8.5
17/2(+6%)
(4) Off To A Flyer 17/2, Successful at Ayr (24.3f) last spring but proved disappointing when well held at Kempton (20.5f) on debut over fences 28 days ago. Tries easier grade now and too soon to be writing him off in this sphere.
Point winner; drops in grade for this second chase attempt; not ruled out.
8
|PU| (8) Ballydesmond (33/1 -136%)
Ballydesmond

33
33/1(-136%)
(8) Ballydesmond 33/1, Winner of a hunter chase in Ireland last year but finished well beaten (faced a stiff task) in novice at Exeter (24.2f) on yard debut 74 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Had wind operation.
Open to progress in handicaps and looks one to consider; second run for new yard.
6
|PU| (6) Gaelic Park (33/1 -106%)
Gaelic Park

33
33/1(-106%)
(6) Gaelic Park 33/1, Point/bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in 11-runner maiden at Warwick (21f) in March. However, made an inauspicious start over fences at Wincanton last month, losing touch when bad mistake halfway. Cheekpieces now reached for.
Soundly beaten at Wincanton on Boxing Day but should do better.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The suggestion is ABUFFALOSOLDIER, ahead of King's Threshold. Blairgowrie has to be feared on his return to action.

1st (10) Gaye Legacy (11/2 +8%)
Gaye Legacy

5.5
11/2(+8%)
(10) Gaye Legacy 11/2, Lightly-raced hurdler who has taken a step forward in handicaps this season, scoring at Market Rasen before good seconds at Aintree and Kempton (both 3m, heavy) last month, shaping particularly well at latter track. One to be interested in.
Has done well since sent into handicaps and appeals as a mare with more to offer.
5
2nd (5) Don't Rightly Know (14/1 +30%)
Don't Rightly Know

14
14/1(+30%)
(5) Don't Rightly Know 14/1, Defied a long absence when readily getting off the mark in an Exeter novice in November. Went close under a penalty at Wincanton next time and even better form when 8 lengths third on handicap debut there 17 days ago. That underlines she needs more from her mark but 3m promises to suit her.
Lightly raced 9yo who enters the reckoning back in trip for just her second handicap.
12
3rd (12) Kazontherazz (14/1 -40%)

14
14/1(-40%)
(12) Kazontherazz 14/1, Fair hurdler who has recorded a couple of encouraging efforts since wind surgery, finishing second of 10 over 21f at Ludlow latterly. Should give another good account.
Stays 3m and she raced up with the pace when only narrowly denied over 2m5f at Ludlow.
16
4th (16) Little Else (17/2 +39%)
Little Else

8.5
17/2(+39%)
(16) Little Else 17/2, Improved to land a 23f Taunton handicap in April and has resumed her progression on her return, winning at Newton Abbot (heavy) in October and only narrowly denied a West Country hat-trick at Exeter in November. Another to consider.
Edged out by an exposed mare at Exeter last time but returning to further looks a plus.
11
5th (11) Fortuna Ligna (7/1 +30%)
Fortuna Ligna

7
7/1(+30%)
(11) Fortuna Ligna 7/1, Fair form in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, justifying cramped odds when landing a mares' maiden at Chepstow (19.5f) last spring. Creditable in-frame efforts in handicaps on 2 of her 3 starts this season, although the reopposing Gaye Legacy was ahead of her at Kempton last time.
Has yet to win a handicap; does nothing in a hurry but should be plugging on.

20/1(+39%)
(14) Porter In The Park 20/1, Irish point winner who made a successful handicap hurdle debut at Huntingdon last January and even better form when runner-up on her next 2 starts. Hasn't taken to chasing this term so hopes pinned on a return to smaller obstacles sparking a revival.
Has something to prove regarding stamina and current form; returns to hurdling.

(8) Phillapa Sue 16/1, In fine form for her new yard, resuming winning ways in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) 38 days ago. Up 6 lb but she can go well again.
Convincing winner at Doncaster; up 6lb but unexposed over staying trips.

My Girl Katie

(17) My Girl Katie 33/1, Yet to fire this season in three runs over fences and handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Tongue strap/cheekpieces are reached for.
New headgear tried but this is a tough race in which to bounce back to form.

7/1(+22%)
(3) Moviddy 7/1, Irish point winner who won twice over hurdles last season. Placed in 3 chases this winter and the step up to 3m promises to suit her back hurdling.
Back hurdling after three good chase runs; appeals as a likely improver now raised to 3m.

Take No Chances

10/1(-67%)
(4) Take No Chances 10/1, Point winner who was placed in bumpers and made a winning hurdles debut at Huntingdon (19.5f) in November. No match for a potentially useful sort under a penalty at Market Rasen (20.5f) 47 days ago but it was another good run. Unexposed now handicapping over a longer trip for leading yard.
Two good runs over shorter since hurdling and connections must view her as a stayer.

Between Waters

3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(7) Between Waters 10/3, Successful sole start in points. Only sixth in a bumper last season but runner-up in a pair of 21f hurdles at Ludlow this time round and she's very much unexposed now making a quick switch to handicaps for a top yard. Interesting contender.
Handicap newcomer for top yard and interesting to see the level of confidence behind her.

Great Snow

11/1(+31%)
(9) Great Snow 11/1, Fair novice hurdler for Neil Mulholland last term. Strong in the betting but made a disappointing return for her new stable at Wincanton in November. Given a bit of time since and returns in a first-time tongue tie. Interesting to see whether her supporters' return.
May have needed the run on stable debut; good mark and now tongue tied.
15

Belles Benefit

25
25/1(+0%)
(15) Belles Benefit 25/1, Successful on debut for this yard at Fontwell in summer 2022. Largely consistent in defeat since but this looks too competitive.
2m too sharp latest; close third over this far at Wetherby in October makes her a player.

Holly Hartingo

28
28/1(-40%)
(6) Holly Hartingo 28/1, Dual hurdles scorer in 2021/22 but lightly raced since. Posted a solid fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.5f, heavy) over Christmas but Gaye Legacy holds her on that form.
Took a step back in the right direction with a fair fifth at Kempton a month ago.

33
33/1(-175%)
(1) Wynn House 33/1, Bidding to make a winning reappearance for third season running. Those successes came off an identical mark to today so she can't be left out of calculations.
Has a very good record when fresh and is one to be interested in on reappearance.
13
|PU| (13) Whisky Express (40/1 -233%)
Whisky Express

40
40/1(-233%)
(13) Whisky Express 40/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner but has been a little disappointing since, again looking a bit of a tricky customer when well-held fourth of 5 on her Sandown reappearance last month. First-time blinkers replaced cheekpieces. Steps up in trip with questions to answer at present.
Can win off this mark but she has her quirks and tries new headgear.

The 8yo MOVIDDY (nap) has produced some notable efforts over fences this term and returns to hurdles over a new trip that should suit.

Issar D'airy

1.1
11/10(+20%)
(5) Issar D'airy 11/10, Improved model last season in handicap hurdles, overcoming a couple of untidy jumps when doubling his tally at Huntingdon in April. Took his form up a notch when making a winning start over fences after 8 months off over C&D (soft) last month and he's likely to have more to offer.
Hosed up here over Christmas and handicapper fair with his treatment (up 8lb).

I'd Like To Know

3.5
7/2(+22%)
(6) I'd Like To Know 7/2, Worcester maiden winner on Rules debut in October 2022 and went very close at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) 12 months ago. Satisfactory return when fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield last month and now heads over the larger obstacles. Market may guide.
Lightly raced winning hurdler; pointing background and fences could be the making of him.

Not Available

12
12/1(-9%)
(3) Not Available 12/1, C&D winner who hit the target 3 times last season, responding well for pressure for the latest of them at Chepstow (2m) in April. However, hasn't been showing much spark over hurdles/fences in recent months. Blinkers again the headgear of choice.
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game.

Give Me A Moment

12
12/1(-20%)
(2) Give Me A Moment 12/1, Useful chaser who won 5 times during 2021/22 and bagged pair of novice hurdle victories thereafter. Lightly raced since, below best when fourth at Sandown (15.5f) when last seen in November. Mark is easing all the time at least.
Capable off this mark but ideally wants good ground so any rain would count against him.

Hystery Bere

3/1(-9%)
(1) Hystery Bere 3/1, Fairly useful performer over hurdles (3-time winner) who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick in May. Finished runner-up both starts over fences subsequently, held only late on at Wetherby (15f) in November. Possibilities again.
Looks on a high enough mark but it's been a very solid start over fences.

Witness Protection

22
22/1(-100%)
(4) Witness Protection 22/1, Dual hurdles winner who made it third time lucky over fences at Chepstow in November 2021. Lightly raced since and no real short-term promise to glean from last month's effort back at that venue following 7 months off. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
Well handicapped and probably needed the run on heavy ground at Chepstow.

(7) Roysse 6/1, €75,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Unbeaten in 3 points and went with plenty of encouragement sporting a tongue strap when fourth in big-field Wincanton bumper on Rules debut 73 days ago, fading only late on. Expected to build on that.
Travelled really well before tiring and finishing a near 8l fourth of 17 at Wincanton.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
