The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Goodwin 3/1, Ready winner of a Fontwell bumper last February and came good at the second time of asking over hurdles at Plumpton (2m) in December. Fine third under a penalty at Kempton since. Should give another good account. Progressive 6yo who likes to get on with it and brings strong form claims..
1
2nd (1) (10/11 +27%) Cannock Park
0.909091
10/11(+27%)
(1) Cannock Park 10/11, Point who landed a Bangor bumper and Cheltenham maiden hurdle in the autumn. Better form when third in Grade 1 Formby at Aintree and Grade 2 Premier at Kelso since. Sets a good standard back in a novice. Northern raider who has a lot of weight but undoubtedly sets the standard with Graded form.
3
3rd (3) (4/1 +0%) Lario
4
4/1(+0%)
(3) Lario 4/1, Fair 11f winner on Flat in Germany in 2022. Winner of his completed start over hurdles for Anthony Charlton this winter and an interesting new recruit for the Harry Derham stable. Plumpton winner who has since joined Harry Derham; open to further progress.
5
4th (5) (20/1 -344%) I'm Ravenous
20
20/1(-344%)
(5) I'm Ravenous 20/1, £80,000 point recruit who was fourth in a bumper last April. Taken a while to get him back to the track but his stable continues in good form and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him back from wind surgery. Also fitted with a tongue tie. Point winner whose bumper run reads okay; had wind op since; open to improvement.
6
5th (6) (33/1 -32%) Next Left
33
33/1(-32%)
(6) Next Left 33/1, Fair form when placed in 3 hurdles for Gary Moore at the end of 2021 but has a whopping 826-day absence to overcome starting out for Dan Skelton. Betting perhaps the best guide. Has ability but been a long-time absent and stable jockey rides their other one.
11
6th (11) (33/1 -136%) Kuzco
33
33/1(-136%)
(11) Kuzco 33/1, Ran to a fair level in bumpers in France for Emmanuel Clayeux. Offered something to work on when just under 10 lengths last of 4 in quite a useful juvenile event on his Haydock hurdle and yard debut 5 weeks ago. Should have more to offer. Promising fourth at Haydock (smart winner) and he's a 4yo receiving plenty of weight.
7
7th (7) (20/1 -43%) The Blueberry One
20
20/1(-43%)
(7) The Blueberry One 20/1, Both outings over C&D on soft, stepping up on debut when 8 lengths sixth of 13 last month. Lario looks the stable first string. Some promise here last time but Paul O'Brien has jumped ship to the stablemate.
8
8th (8) (150/1 -650%) Zhang Fei
150
150/1(-650%)
(8) Zhang Fei 150/1, Fair winner on Flat but remote fourth on his Wincanton hurdle debut last month. Will need to leave that form well behind. Strike-rate of 1-26 on the Flat and was a remote fourth on his switch to hurdling.
4
9th (4) (100/1 +0%) Absolutely Fine
100
100/1(+0%)
(4) Absolutely Fine 100/1, From a top yard but this one looks more one for handicaps judged on her 2 efforts over hurdles in recent weeks. Pretty much tailed off in a bumper and two hurdles, going off at lengthy odds.
10
10th (10) (250/1 -150%) Guinessed
250
250/1(-150%)
(10) Guinessed 250/1, 200/1, well-beaten tenth of 13 to Goodwin in novice at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) on completed start over hurdles. Has had wind surgery. Big outsider. Poor maiden who was 200-1 when tailed off behind Goodwin at Plumpton last time out.
9
11th (9) (200/1 -203%) Arenas Del Tiempo
200
200/1(-203%)
(9) Arenas Del Tiempo 200/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 11.5f) for Simon Dow. Starts out over hurdles in a decent novice and can only be watched. All three Flat wins came over 1m2f in 2021; softish ground not ideal for hurdling debut.
13:40 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class
3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A close-up third in a Kelso Grade 2 after occupying the same position in the Formby Novices' Hurdle over Christmas, CANNOCK PARK stands out on form and having previously won a bumper and novice hurdle this season, he can make light of his penalty in this company. Goodwin, who struck at Plumpton prior to a solid Kempton third, is an obvious threat, with Freddie Gordon's 5lb claim an added bonus. In-form trainer Dan Skelton is double-handed, with yard newcomer Next Left a shade more intriguing than Absolutely Fine, despite a lengthy absence.
CANNOCK PARK sets the bar pretty high now dropping down from Graded level. Fellow hurdle winners Lario, a new recruit for Harry Derham, and Goodwin can give him most to think about.
A long trek from the Scottish Borders can pay dividends for CANNOCK PARK, who boasts compelling form credentials.
(4) I Love My Baie 25/1, Likeable type who resumed winning ways back up in trip 4-runner novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) in December. Proved to be a disappointment when tailed off in Grade 2 event at Doncaster a month later so needs to get back on track now handicapping dropped back in distance. Dual hurdle winner; ran poorly in Grade 2 latest but overall profile is positive.
9
2nd (9) (12/1 -20%) Pretending
12
12/1(-20%)
(9) Pretending 12/1, Opened her account as a hurdler at Sandown (2½m) in December and has remained in good form, leaving the impression the longer trip was beyond her when second of 8 in at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy) 23 days ago. More required back down in trip. Consistent but held three times in handicaps since Sandown win; others less exposed.
8
3rd (8) (11/2 +66%) Break My Soul
5.5
11/2(+66%)
(8) Break My Soul 11/2, Fetched £290,000 after landing sole start in Irish points and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third in 2m course novice on hurdling debut in November. Had a wind op and shaped similarly when runner-up at Warwick a couple of months ago and now makes an early switch to handicaps. Point winner; placed in both hurdles and unexposed now making quick switch to handicaps.
2
4th (2) (13/2 -136%) Into The Park
6.5
13/2(-136%)
(2) Into The Park 13/2, Plenty about him physically and is improving with experience, making all for a ready success in a big-field maiden here (16.3f) in January. Followed up in the manner of one that looks up to completing a hat-trick on handicap bow at Taunton (16.5f, soft) last month so he's shortlisted. 2m course maiden winner; followed up on 2m handicap debut and more to come now up in trip.
1
5th (1) (13/2 -8%) Spirits Bay
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Spirits Bay 13/2, Useful dual bumper winner last season who showed promise on first 2 hurdle starts before making the most of a good opportunity at Exeter in February. Followed up from what looked a lenient opening mark back there 15 days ago and looks capable of better again. On a hat-trick after novice/handicap wins at Exeter in recent weeks; respected.
10
6th (10) (13/8 +84%) Kartoon And Co
1.625
13/8(+84%)
(10) Kartoon And Co 13/8, Made a successful start in 4-runner juvenile hurdle at Stratford in October and has shown better form in defeat on 3 subsequent outings, finishing with running left after conceding first run on handicap debut at Sandown (16f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Nudged up 3 lb but ought to soon make amends. Stayed on well for second on 2m Sandown handicap debut, suggesting this trip should suit.
3
7th (3) (9/1 -50%) Idy Wood
9
9/1(-50%)
(3) Idy Wood 9/1, Bumper winner who looked right back on song when readily doubling his hurdles tally in 2m4f novice at Plumpton in January. Ran respectably tried at Grade 2 level for a second time when third in Dovecote at Kempton (16f, soft) last month and heads back up in trip for his handicap debut. Ran well considering drop back to 2m not ideal when 3rd in Grade 2 latest; handicap debut.
5
8th (5) (16/1 -33%) The Good Doctor
16
16/1(-33%)
(5) The Good Doctor 16/1, Built on encouraging yard debut when winning at Fontwell novice (17.7f, soft) on Boxing Day and lost little caste in defeat when conceding lumps of weight to a promising rival at Sandown (16f, good to soft) 7 weeks ago. Remains early days (this just his second handicap start). Won handicap in France and landed novice for new yard over Xmas; second at Sandown since.
6
9th (6) (14/1 -40%) Onethreefivenotout
14
14/1(-40%)
(6) Onethreefivenotout 14/1, Made a winning bumper debut at Worcester in October 2021 then off 2 years. Didn't need to be at his best to land the odds returned to maiden company at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 5 weeks ago and now heads back up in trip. Likely to have more to offer. Bounced back from disappointing handicap debut when winning maiden in cheekpieces.
14:10 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3)
19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
INTO THE PARK is very capable of making this a searching test and rates the one to be with. The five-year-old broke his maiden from the front here in January and has a live chance of coping with a 6lb rise following a successful switch to handicaps at Taunton. The class-dropping Idy Wood might be the primary threat, although the hat-trick chasing Spirits Bay has to be feared, despite going up 8lb for his latest Exeter success.
KARTOON AND CO left many scratching their heads ridden more patiently at Sandown on handicap debut a fortnight ago (finished with running left having allowed the winner first run) so he's fancied to make amends if adopting more positive tactics at the expense of Into The Park, who is improving in leaps and bounds and arrives on a hat-trick. Spirits Bay and Onethreefivenotout can do battle for third spot.
The way KARTOON AND CO (nap) stayed on for second on his recent handicap debut suggests there should be more to come upped in trip.
(2) Heltenham 5/4, Improved markedly for the switch to chasing, taking another step forward when running out a good winner of the Greatwood Gold Cup over C&D 3 weeks ago. 6 lb higher mark to contend with but very much on the shortlist again with yard continuing in excellent form. 2-2 over C&D after winning the Greatwood Gold Cup three weeks by 2l but comfortably.
4
2nd (4) (11/2 +45%) Sir Psycho
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(4) Sir Psycho 11/2, Back over fences, made his first start since leaving Paul Nicholls a winning one in novice handicap at Ascot (18.8f) on his return (form worked out well). Similar form on 2 of 3 starts since, fourth behind Heltenham over C&D for the latest of them 3 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb since. Has looked handicapped on the high side since his reappearance success at Ascot.
3
3rd (3) (13/2 -44%) Gunsight Ridge
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(3) Gunsight Ridge 13/2, Lightly-raced 9-y-o who was in process of running well when falling 4 out on return at Wetherby and showed no ill effects when chasing home an upwardly-mobile Skelton in-mate at Sandown (15.5f) last month. Only 2 lb above last winning mark and worth a second look. Chased home a sharp improver last time at Sandown and he comes here fresh.
6
4th (6) (6/1 +40%) Gustavian
6
6/1(+40%)
(6) Gustavian 6/1, Sole success over fences to date came in 3-runner affair at Exeter (24.2f) 13 months ago. Largely creditable efforts since, good third of 9 to Heltenham over C&D 3 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but return to further may suit ideally. Can make mistakes and likely competition for the lead further reduces his appeal.
5
5th (5) (11/1 -38%) Galahad Quest
11
11/1(-38%)
(5) Galahad Quest 11/1, Decisive winner of a 2½m Warwick handicap chase last February and hasn't shaped badly, albeit without being anywhere near his best, in 2 starts so far this season. Down to an attractive mark but he does need to keep the errors at bay in competitive race of this nature. Questionable what he achieved behind an easy winner last time but has the form to figure.
1
6th (1) (7/1 -27%) Solo
7
7/1(-27%)
(1) Solo 7/1, Smart novice chaser (Grade 2 winner) who returned with a very good second in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter in November. Runner-up conceding weight to an unexposed 4-y-o at Ascot a month later but this return to handicaps rates a plus and promising young rider takes off handy 5 lb. Stuck on a tough mark but they claim 5lb off him and he's mustard when fresh.
14:40 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Greatwood Gold Cup winner HELTENHAM, who also took this prize 12 months ago, is presented with a good opportunity to gain back-to-back successes, with both the trip and ground likely to suit as he bids to overcome just a 6lb rise for his recent comfortable C&D victory. Gunsight Ridge could be the one to give him most to think about, given the nine-year-old is still low-mileage over fences and can get competitive off just 2lb above his last winning mark. Solo rates the pick of the rest.
HELTENHAM continued on his upward curve and had a couple of re-opposing rivals in his wake when running out a good winner of the Greatwood Gold Cup over C&D 3 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise for that victory shouldn't prevent another bold showing with his yard continuing in smashing form. Gunsight Ridge was no match for an improver latest but comes here with good claims. Solo, back in handicaps/partnered by a good-value claimer, can also figure.
Heltenham is hard to knock but GUNSIGHT RIDGE bumped into an improver last time on what was effectively his first run of the season.
(8) All The Glory 22/1, Won novices at Hexham and Market Rasen on her first 2 starts this season. Ran creditably while leaving the impression the trip might've been far enough for her when 17¼ lengths fifth to Smiling Getaway at Ludlow before Christmas and this looks a tough ask on handicap debut. Back on drier ground and armed with plenty of experience, she could go well at a price.
6
2nd (6) (10/1 +17%) Alfie's Princess
10
10/1(+17%)
(6) Alfie's Princess 10/1, Point winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, landing novices at Chepstow and Exeter. Matched previous form as opposed to finding the improvement needed from her opening mark when third at Sandown 7 weeks ago so will need to take a step forward. Beaten 17l in third at Sandown last time and she's only 1lb lower for this.
1
3rd (1) (22/1 -120%) Ooh Betty
22
22/1(-120%)
(1) Ooh Betty 22/1, Dual winner last May who quickly revived after a couple of lesser efforts when landing a Hereford handicap in good style in late November. Found one too good on her last couple of starts (behind Party Vibes at Market Rasen on latest) but may prove vulnerable to unexposed sorts here. Improving mare and weighted to give Party Vibes more to think about than last time.
11
4th (11) (11/2 +21%) Larchmont Lass
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(11) Larchmont Lass 11/2, Useful form in bumpers, including a Sandown listed win last March. Showed improved form to get off the mark over hurdles at Wincanton (21.4f, soft) last month and she may do better still now up and running sent down the handicap route. Recent workmanlike winner at Wincanton; open to improvement but she needs some.
7
5th (7) (14/1 +13%) Lilting Verse
14
14/1(+13%)
(7) Lilting Verse 14/1, Listed bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles with her sights lowered in a 13-runner novice at Ludlow (21.3f) in November. Wasn't in quite the same form back there 3 months ago and likely she'll come up short in this company for her handicap debut. Giving weight to Smiling Getaway when behind her at Ludlow; this ground more favourable.
5
6th (5) (6/1 -33%) Party Vibes
6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Party Vibes 6/1, £45,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point and confirmed previous promise under Rules when opening her account in Wincanton novice (15.2f) on Boxing Day. Improved again as she followed up at Market Rasen last month and looks capable of better again sent handicapping. Doesn't look on a bad mark, especially with the potential to improve plenty over this trip.
14
7th (14) (12/1 +40%) Drumlee Spud
12
12/1(+40%)
(14) Drumlee Spud 12/1, Successful in sole point and promising second in a bumper. Disappointing she didn't offer more at the business end given how she'd shaped on her first 2 starts in this sphere when 16¼ lengths third to Dontyawantme in a Carlisle novice (19.3f) last month but fancied to show more now handicapping. This mark on handicap debut demands a career best in a race of this nature.
10
8th (10) (40/1 -21%) Dontyawantme
40
40/1(-21%)
(10) Dontyawantme 40/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who is proving to be steadily progressive over hurdles and got off the mark in 11-runner novice at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) in February. Beaten by more than a combination of the longer trip/racing on the unfavoured inside at Doncaster since and makes her handicap bow. Peak efforts offer hope but has to rebound from a below-par performance at Doncaster.
15
9th (15) (14/1 +0%) Marmalade Time
14
14/1(+0%)
(15) Marmalade Time 14/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles, making it third time lucky in 9-runner novice at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) 20 days ago, her jumping again awkward at times but nothing at all wrong with her attitude. Another one to consider on handicap debut. Recent winner and improving; not to be taken lightly despite a tough handicap debut.
4
|F| (4) (11/1 -175%) El Elefante
11
11/1(-175%)
(4) El Elefante 11/1, Made all in both bumper outings and was impressive when making a winning hurdles debut at Perth (20.2f) in September. Defied a penalty readily with her sights lowered at Ayr (20.4f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago and she's a likely candidate on handicap debut. Didn't have much in hand over Kay Tara Tara last time and she's 11lb worse off here.
17
10th (17) (50/1 +0%) Imperial Jade
50
50/1(+0%)
(17) Imperial Jade 50/1, Progressed with each start over hurdles last term, ending campaign with victory in 6-runner juvenile at Chepstow. Disappointing so far this season, though, and has a plenty to find from 8 lb out of the weights. Won a junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, soft) last April but comfortably held since.
16
11th (16) (9/2 +78%) Lindy Reilly
4.5
9/2(+78%)
(16) Lindy Reilly 9/2, Kayf Tara mare who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, not knocked about when well held at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) earlier in the month. Better expected for her red-hot yard. Lots to prove but handicap newcomers from this yard always command a second look.
2
12th (2) (9/1 -38%) Smiling Getaway
9
9/1(-38%)
(2) Smiling Getaway 9/1, Winning Irish pointer who shaped well in a Southwell bumper on sole run for Dan Skelton and has built on that when winning mares' novice hurdles at Ludlow (21f, soft) and Warwick (19f, heavy) for her new stable in recent months. Struggled up in grade last time, and now sent handicapping. Solid contender who should give her running but doesn't look strikingly well handicapped.
13
|PU| (13) (16/1 -45%) Kay Tara Tara
16
16/1(-45%)
(13) Kay Tara Tara 16/1, Bumper winner on debut and made a successful start in this sphere at Huntingdon (19.6f) in October. Showed better form in defeat when third at Fontwell in December and back on track when 2¼ lengths second of 7 to El Elefante in an Ayr novice (20.4f, good to soft) recently. Each-way player. Best run yet when keeping El Elefante honest at Ayr and has an 11lb pull with that one.
12
|PU| (12) (20/1 -25%) Endless Supply
20
20/1(-25%)
(12) Endless Supply 20/1, Placed on the second of 2 outings in bumpers and improved on her hurdles debut form when second in an Exeter novice (18.5f, soft) in November. Didn't get home in what became a slog at the trip at Uttoxeter before Christmas and now sent handicapping after a break. Rested since an excusable defeat in December and might not be badly handicapped.
3
|PU| (3) (22/1 -38%) Condesa
22
22/1(-38%)
(3) Condesa 22/1, Returned from a very long absence to win a 2m Perth novice hurdle in July. Seemed to find 2½m on heavy ground stretching her when remote fourth next time but given 4 months off, showed more like her hurdling debut form under a penalty when second at Sedgefield in January. More needed. Narrowly beaten by a subsequent Grade 2 winner last time which brings her into it.
9
|PU| (9) (22/1 +33%) Baby Shally
22
22/1(+33%)
(9) Baby Shally 22/1, Point winner who made a successful start in this sphere in a Wincanton novice in December. Showed improved form upped in trip/grade (also fitted with a tongue strap) when runner-up in a listed event at Doncaster (24.4f, heavy) 3 weeks ago and holds each-way claims now handicapping. Improved third in a 3m Listed race last time but others still appeal more.
15:15 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 1)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
This looks wide-open so only a tentative vote goes to PARTY VIBES. Henry Daly's six-year-old handed out a five-and-a-half-length beating to Ooh Betty at Market Rasen, to supplement a Wincanton triumph, and she can complete the hat-trick on her handicap bow. El Elefante saw off Kay Tara Tara at Ayr and she could be the main threat to the selection, although Endless Supply shouldn't be underestimated, despite failing to justify short odds at Uttoxeter on her latest outing.
A mares' novice handicap chock-full of potential and it's DRUMLEE SPUD who gets the tentative nod to build on her early-season efforts for the in-form Ben Pauling stable. Party Vibes is a mare firmly on the up and, arriving on a hat-trick, she can give the selection most to think about, while El Elefante, Larchmont Lass and Marmalade Time are just a handful of others to consider in what looks a wide-open renewal of this valuable, long-established prize.
This has been a long-term target for many of these and that could be the case with LILTING VERSE on her first run since December.
(1) Regent's Stroll 7/2, Expensive purchase who justified a prominent position in the market when scoring at Ascot on debut. Off almost 4 months since but he has plenty of potential and is worth a chance to maintain his unbeaten record. Cosy winner at Ascot in November; high on the list despite conceding weight all round.
9
2nd (9) (12/1 -20%) Don't Mind If I Do
12
12/1(-20%)
(9) Don't Mind If I Do 12/1, £75,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Lord Baddesley and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Robins Reef. Looks the pick of the newcomers on paper. Interesting newcomer, with appealing pedigree and from yard with three wins in this race.
3
3rd (3) (9/1 -125%) Andashan
9
9/1(-125%)
(3) Andashan 9/1, Knew his job when landing a 9-runner bumper at Kempton 43 days ago but there's every chance he'll improve on it, so definite player. Attracted support before making winning debut at Kempton; one for the shortlist.
11
4th (11) (22/1 +33%) Green Splendour
22
22/1(+33%)
(11) Green Splendour 22/1, £30,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 19f/21f hurdle winner Smiling Getaway. Trainer’s newcomers are worthy of respect. £30,000 3yo; bred to be classy and worth monitoring in the market.
4
5th (4) (7/2 +42%) Crest Of Fortune
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(4) Crest Of Fortune 7/2, Related to several winners an looked a nice prospect when making a successful start at Wincanton 102 days ago, going away at the finish. Open to improvement and likely to be on the premises. Overcame greenness to win at Wincanton; may be the pick of the Honeyball three.
21
6th (21) (25/1 +50%) Lagertha
25
25/1(+50%)
(21) Lagertha 25/1, £40,000 3-y-o, No Risk At All filly. Half-sister to Sindarbueno (French 2½m-21f chase winner, by Sinndar): dam (h147), 2¼m-19f winner in France, also 15f winner on Flat, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Aupcharlie. £40,000 3yo; daughter of No Risk At All; Gavin Sheehan a good booking; quite interesting.
6
7th (6) (20/1 +0%) Big Ginge
20
20/1(+0%)
(6) Big Ginge 20/1, Related to a couple of winners (including in a bumper) and showed something to work on when third of 12 at Huntingdon 44 days ago. Likely to step forward from that, so not ruled out. Showed something to build on when third of 12 at Huntingdon; may improve.
5
8th (5) (6/1 -33%) Authentic Legacy
6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Authentic Legacy 6/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner Moonamacaroona. Plenty of encouragement on debut when fourth in listed contest at Cheltenham and should make a big impact in calmer waters. Shaped well on debut when fourth at Cheltenham; this longer trip should be in his favour.
13
9th (13) (25/1 -56%) Gwennie May Star
25
25/1(-56%)
(13) Gwennie May Star 25/1, £38,000 3-y-o, Masterstroke gelding. Dam placed 2 of 3 starts over hurdles. One to monitor in the betting for shrewd stable. £38,000 3yo by Arc third Masterstroke; second newcomer from the Skelton stable.
8
10th (8) (14/1 -17%) Dance And Glance
14
14/1(-17%)
(8) Dance And Glance 14/1, £16,000 3-y-o, Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Uncle Alastair and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Movie Legend. Worth a market check. Half-brother to two useful types; worth a market check with top bumper yard running three.
20
11th (20) (50/1 -100%) Kiss Me Moon
50
50/1(-100%)
(20) Kiss Me Moon 50/1, £18,000 3-y-o, Spanish Moon filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Eden du Houx. Dam unraced. Not an obvious sort for this sphere. Half-sister to useful bumper and 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase winner Eden Du Houx; makes debut.
18
12th (18) (66/1 -100%) Tom Taggle
66
66/1(-100%)
(18) Tom Taggle 66/1, £25,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Three Faces West. Appeals on breeding; stable is 9% in bumpers (last five seasons) and runs three newcomers.
14
13th (14) (22/1 -83%) Interchangeable
22
22/1(-83%)
(14) Interchangeable 22/1, £16,000 3-y-o, Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam useful hurdler (2¼m/2½m winner). £16,000 3yo; Daryl Jacob's pick of the Crawford three; another newcomer to consider.
10
14th (10) (33/1 -136%) Double Dragon
33
33/1(-136%)
(10) Double Dragon 33/1, Cheap purchase but stable does well in this sphere and he offered plenty of encouragement when fourth in a Hereford bumper 3 months ago. Open to improvement. Encouragement when fourth at Hereford; wouldn't need to improve much to play a part.
19
15th (19) (150/1 -200%) Formel Park
150
150/1(-200%)
(19) Formel Park 150/1, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Out of The Loop and fairly useful 2¾m hurdle winner Russian Hawk. Likely to need more time and distance. Walk In The Park half-sister to four hurdle winners; dam bumper winner; worth market check.
16
16th (16) (150/1 -200%) Lennie Godber
150
150/1(-200%)
(16) Lennie Godber 150/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Super Six and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Norman Fletcher. Offered nothing at Warwick on debut, though. Showed little on debut at Warwick two weeks ago and needs marked improvement.
15
17th (15) (66/1 -100%) Lawsky
66
66/1(-100%)
(15) Lawsky 66/1, £22,000 3-y-o, Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 1½m winner Stonking. Dam, French 9f-11.5f winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 19f) Vorashann. Descends from useful Aga Khan family but yard has modest strike-rate in bumpers these days.
17
18th (17) (25/1 +24%) Tikiti Dino
25
25/1(+24%)
(17) Tikiti Dino 25/1, £50,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser Fortasta. Dam lightly raced over hurdles/fences in France. Stable’s first-timers usually merit respect. £50,000 3yo; fits the bill on pedigree but Tom Cannon prefers Don't Mind If I Do.
7
19th (7) (25/1 -25%) Clever One
25
25/1(-25%)
(7) Clever One 25/1, £28,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (winner up to 23f) Hidden Cyclone. Wears hood. From a good family and not dismissed on debut. £28,000 3yo; by Affinisea; one of three newcomers for the same connections; hooded.
12
20th (12) (10/1 +9%) Gwennie May Jem
10
10/1(+9%)
(12) Gwennie May Jem 10/1, Manatee gelding. Dam unraced. Little to go on pedigree wise but preferred by Harry Skelton, so not discounted. Newcomer by Manatee; looks the Skelton first string judged on jockey bookings.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ANDASHAN and Regent's Stroll both beat Tradecraft on their respective debuts, with slight preference for the former as he is likely to provide more value and Chris Gordon's Kempton scorer should have plenty of improvement in him. Regent's Stroll also has a 4lb penalty to carry for his Ascot triumph, but is still expected to prove a big threat. Authentic Legacy started off with a pleasing fourth in Listed company at Cheltenham, while any market confidence behind 75,000-pound purchase Don't Mind If I Do would be interesting.
This has the makings of an above-average contest but REGENT'S STROLL looked a good prospect at Ascot first time out and he may be up to defying a penalty. Fellow debut winner Crest of Fortune is a danger and Authentic Legacy needs considering after a solid start in a listed event at Cheltenham.
Regent's Stroll is a strong candidate but preference is for AUTHENTIC LEGACY who made a promising start at Cheltenham.
(8) Rath Gaul Hill 10/3, Failed to build on his hurdles debut success in 3 subsequent starts in that sphere but he has shown an aptitude for this game, most recently chasing home decisive winner William of York at Doncaster (19f, heavy). Possibilities off the same mark with this drop in trip a potentially good move. Travelled well when second over 2m3f at Doncaster and not ruled out now back down in trip.
7
2nd (7) (5/2 +44%) Duhallow Tommy
2.5
5/2(+44%)
(7) Duhallow Tommy 5/2, Has proved to be a different proposition switched to fences following a wind op this year, winning all 3 starts over the larger obstacles at Plumpton. More on his plate here but 4 lb rise for latest success is by no means prohibitive and he commands respect. 3-3 over fences, all at Plumpton; could still have more left in the tank; chance.
5
3rd (5) (6/1 -50%) Game On For Glory
6
6/1(-50%)
(5) Game On For Glory 6/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who got the job done at the fourth attempt in this sphere when landing a small-field Ludlow handicap (2½m, heavy) in a first-time visor last month. 3 lb nudge fair enough and while this is more demanding, she has to enter calculations. Won at Ludlow last month; now tackles a warmer race but could continue to improve.
2
4th (2) (11/4 +50%) Mount Tempest
2.75
11/4(+50%)
(2) Mount Tempest 11/4, Improved for the fitting of blinkers when scoring at Sandown and Wetherby either side of Christmas. Solid third back at Sandown (15.4f, soft) on penultimate start and while he misfired at Chepstow last time, this 7-y-o won't be far away if he puts his best foot forward. Pulled up latest but on heavy, and blinkers now left off; running well previously, however.
1
5th (1) (7/1 -17%) Onemorefortheroad
7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Onemorefortheroad 7/1, Made a winning chase debut in a 9-runner Doncaster handicap (16.3f, good to soft) in December but took a backward step over the same C&D later that month. Probably worth taking on back from a break here. Comfortable win at Doncaster in December and subsequent run there may have come too soon.
4
6th (4) (20/1 +0%) Bollingerandkrug
20
20/1(+0%)
(4) Bollingerandkrug 20/1, Has shown improved form switched to front-running tactics, making it four wins at Kelso in 5 starts when successful there in November. However, he has failed to fire both subsequent starts and now has a bit to prove. Four wins at Kelso last year but well beaten here and at Musselburgh the last twice.
6
7th (6) (20/1 -186%) Calgary Tiger
20
20/1(-186%)
(6) Calgary Tiger 20/1, Left hurdles form well behind when winning first 2 starts over fences last February/March. Pulled up in a strong C&D Class 2 handicap on return in December but he was the best part of a stone out of the weights that day and this is a more realistic assignment. Landed double with all-the-way C&D win last March; tough task on sole outing this season.
16:25 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
JUPITER DU GITE impressed when making all over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last week and dropping back in trip should hold no fears, having won over this distance here as a novice hurdler. Gary Moore's charge has a 7lb rise to overcome, but is the youngest in the field so should be open to more improvement than the likes of Ludlow winner Game On For Glory and Onemorefortheroad, who has claims on December's success at Doncaster. Unbeaten over fences in three starts, Duhallow Tommy continues to go from strength to strength and may be the chief threat.
RATH GAUL HILL travelled well for a long way when runner-up over 19f on deep ground at Doncaster last month and he is interesting down in trip with quicker conditions forecast. The 6-y-o shades preference ahead of Jupiter du Gite, who did the job well from the front when opening his chase account at the second attempt at Uttoxeter last Saturday. Game On For Glory also hit the target last time and she merits respect, along with Calgary Tiger.
This could go to C&D winner CALGARY TIGER, a 9yo who has run just four times over fences and may still be capable of better.
(10) Fidux 6/1, Not the force of old but was a decent second back from a break in similar event at Doncaster before Christmas. Similar form back in open company when fourth at Wincanton in February and couldn't rule out. Long time since he won but close up under Oscar Palmer in his last two races.
1
2nd (1) (3/1 +0%) Fortescue
3
3/1(+0%)
(1) Fortescue 3/1, Increasingly temperamental nowadays and while he put in a good shift when second under Harry Cobden here (3¼m, soft) 3 weeks ago, the subsequent wind op/first-time visor will need to have a positive effect if he's to go one better. In a good run of form and he's likely to go well if accepting the change of headgear.
8
3rd (8) (9/2 +55%) First Lord De Cuet
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(8) First Lord De Cuet 9/2, Remains winless following 11 starts over fences but produced one of his best efforts in this sphere when second to Anglers Crag at Market Rasen (23.8f, good to soft) in Januay. Not discounted with blinkers refitted here, for all that his 2 subsequent efforts have not been so good. 0-12 over fences but in fair form and should give each-way backers a run for their money.
11
4th (11) (9/4 +68%) Supervisor
2.25
9/4(+68%)
(11) Supervisor 9/4, Low-mileage 10-y-o put it all together when opening his account in a handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy) back from a 10-month absence in February. Just failed under a penalty at Exeter recently and while he needs more up in class off his new mark, another bold show could be on the way. Recent Ludlow winner who nearly followed up at Exeter; climbing the weights but respected.
9
5th (9) (17/2 -42%) Run To Milan
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(9) Run To Milan 17/2, All 3 career victories gained at Exeter and he performed with credit when second from 5 lb out of the weights in a competitive veterans' contest at that course last time. Should make his presence felt. 2nd from out of the weights at Exeter latest but saves his best efforts for that track.
6
6th (6) (14/1 -180%) Crosspark
14
14/1(-180%)
(6) Crosspark 14/1, Been a cracking servant over the years and ended a long losing when landing a veterans' event at Huntingdon on return in November. Just touched off at Market Rasen (27.6f, good to soft) since and will be a threat if able to perform to a similar level back from a break here. Resurgent 14yo who was beaten just a neck at Market Rasen on Boxing Day.
2
7th (2) (14/1 -40%) Ashtown Lad
14
14/1(-40%)
(2) Ashtown Lad 14/1, Built on encouraging hurdles return when winning Becher Chase at Aintree off a 3 lb higher mark last season. However, he has failed to complete last 4 starts (pulled up on each occasion) and needs to bounce back in a major way. Stable form offers some hope for him turning things around but too risky.
17:00 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A chance is taken on WAYFINDER, who may have pulled up on his last two starts in hotter company but should be well suited to better ground on this occasion. The form of his Chepstow second to subsequent Welsh National hero Nassalam reads well, and the 10-year-old is just 3lb above his last winning mark. Runner-up over further here last time out, Fortescue is a key player, along with Lincolnshire National second Crosspark and Fidux, who has run with plenty of credit on his last couple of outings.
It's best to overlook CERTAINLY RED's effort in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster where he was one of eight that failed to complete in that 10-runner contest. He shaped as though ready to strike when hitting the crossbar at Sandown on his penultimate start and the drying ground here will be a big help. The lightly-raced Supervisor has resumed in good order this season and he is feared most ahead of Crosspark, Fidux and Run To Milan.
Preference is for SUPERVISOR, a lightly raced 10yo who has been in good heart of late and gets in off a feather weight.

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.
