The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Malakahna 2.25/1, Fair Flat winner in France who matched previous best to double hurdles tally in a Kempton mares' novice (2m) 2 weeks ago, overcoming a mistake at the last. No surprise to see her thereabouts with a repeat.
6
2nd (6) (6/1 +29%) The Plimsoll Line
6
6/1(+29%)
(6) The Plimsoll Line 6/1, Placed both starts in bumpers last winter and similar story first 2 starts in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 19.6f this term. Well below par at Chepstow (19.5f) in December but given a break since and bounce back distinctly possible.
2
3rd (2) (2/1 +43%) Surtitle
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Surtitle 2/1, €62,000 purchase who cemented positive start made in bumpers to make a winning hurdles debut in a C&D novice in February, overcoming inexperience to do so. Boasts potential to rate a fair bit higher moving forward and shortlisted.
3
4th (3) (18/1 +28%) Benandgone
18
18/1(+28%)
(3) Benandgone 18/1, Hallowed Crown gelding who is steadily going the right way over hurdles, running to a fair level when runner-up in a Taunton novice (19f) 4 weeks ago. Still, needs to take another step forward to open his account here.
5
5th (5) (33/1 -32%) Jet Marshall
33
33/1(-32%)
(5) Jet Marshall 33/1, £50,000 purchase after finishing runner-up on both starts in Irish points. Proved far too head strong/ran green when midfield in a Taunton bumper (16.5f) on Rules bow 4 weeks ago and no doubt he's capable of better now hurdling.
11
6th (11) (4.5/1 +0%) At A Pinch
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(11) At A Pinch 4.5/1, Fairly useful 11f Flat winner for John & Thady Gosden and perfect start for new yard when taking a Huntingdon novice hurdle (15.8f) in February, scoring convincingly. Entitled to progress again fitted with a hood.
13
7th (13) (10/1 -25%) Issar D'airy
10
10/1(-25%)
(13) Issar D'airy 10/1, Sinndar gelding. Dam, 17f/2¼m hurdles/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (17f-2½m winner in France) Quaska d'Airy. Improved on debut form when second in French bumper in November and betting should guide here having changed hands for €90,000 later that month.
9
8th (9) (300/1 -50%) Encashment
300
300/1(-50%)
(9) Encashment 300/1, Poor maiden on the Flat who has offered little either start over hurdles to date for present stable. Passed over.
4
9th (4) (33/1 +34%) Grand Knight
33
33/1(+34%)
(4) Grand Knight 33/1, Easy winner of his sole point and fair form when runner-up in a Warwick bumper in December. However, not kicked on since, including when well beaten on hurdles bow at aforementioned venue last month.
10
10th (10) (300/1 -100%) Kilfords Queen
300
300/1(-100%)
(10) Kilfords Queen 300/1, Well held all 3 starts in bumpers and similar story on hurdles debut in a mares' novice at Wincanton last month.
LTO Selection:
13:00 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(9) Icone D'aubrelle 12/1, Won 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Bordeaux in September for A. Boisbrunet. Similar form despite failing to justify favouritism at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and in that position when falling here a month ago. Cheekpieces fitted.
7
1st (7) (2.75/1 +50%) Mot A Mot
2.75
2.75/1(+50%)
(7) Mot A Mot 2.75/1, Good pedigree and kept on well to make successful hurdles debut on return at Worcester in November. Limited impact twice since for Nicky Henderson and has had a wind op ahead of stable/handicap debut. Tongue tie also on.
2
2nd (2) (1.75/1 +65%) Royaume Uni
1.75
1.75/1(+65%)
(2) Royaume Uni 1.75/1, Ready winner of 2m Plumpton handicap in October and wasn't disgraced when eighth in the Betfair Hurdle, unable to sustain effort after pulling too hard. Back in calmer waters and ran out an easy scorer at Fontwell 3 weeks ago and he can remain competitive.
5
3rd (5) (5/1 +69%) Mister Marbles
5
5/1(+69%)
(5) Mister Marbles 5/1, Improved for a breathing op, runner-up at Ludlow before getting off the mark in maiden company at Taunton 19 days ago. Opening mark asks for more upped in trip but he's in good hands.
3
4th (3) (5/1 +44%) Rainyday Woman
5
5/1(+44%)
(3) Rainyday Woman 5/1, Useful dual-bumper winner who has taken really well to hurdles, completing a hat-trick when making all in Taunton listed event in December. Reportedly suffered irregular heartbeat at Lingfield a month later but she's certainly in the right hands.
4
5th (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Frere D'armes
6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(4) Frere D'armes 6.5/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and off the mark at the second attempt over timber at Huntingdon. Defied a penalty with the minimum of fuss at Wincanton before limitations were exposed slightly in Grade 2 company. Handicap debut.
10
|PU| (10) (150/1 +0%) Martin Spirit
150
150/1(+0%)
(10) Martin Spirit 150/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France who made frame 3 times last summer. Left Francois Nicolle for £60,000 but offered little both starts for this yard.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(10) Bermeo 3.5/1, Fair chaser at his best but he's yet to fire in three runs this season, tailed off in 3m Doncaster handicap in December on his final run for Tim Vaughan. Well weighted now if his yard switch sparks a resurgence.
9
2nd (9) (2/1 +56%) First Figaro
2
2/1(+56%)
(9) First Figaro 2/1, Right back to his best after lengthy absence with recent wins in handicap chases at Doncaster and Leicester (22.7f) 22 days ago, forging clear each time. Bumped back up the weights here but he's still a big player in his current mood.
5
3rd (5) (12/1 +14%) Vivas
12
12/1(+14%)
(5) Vivas 12/1, Winless since 2019 but he arrives on back of good fourth of 6 to First Figaro in handicap at Doncaster (24f) 29 days ago. Likely to go well again off an easing mark.
6
4th (6) (14/1 -40%) Psychedelic Rock
14
14/1(-40%)
(6) Psychedelic Rock 14/1, Thrived last spring when winning 3 times over fences. Hinted at a revival when fourth of 8 to Glen Forsa in handicap at Musselburgh (22f) 56 days ago, so he's well worth considering off a reduced mark.
8
5th (8) (10/1 +38%) Valadom
10
10/1(+38%)
(8) Valadom 10/1, Isn't the force of old, and he was below form fifth with his trademark front-running tactics readopted at Hereford (25.2f) 34 days ago. Visor is retried with plenty to prove.
3
|PU| (3) (7/1 +36%) No Comment
7
7/1(+36%)
(3) No Comment 7/1, Finally came good over fences in 3m veterans' event at Huntingdon in November. Off since good second to Indy Five in handicap at Doncaster (24f) following month, but he's still one to have in mind.
1
|PU| (1) (7.5/1 +0%) Glen Forsa
7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(1) Glen Forsa 7.5/1, One-time very smart chaser for Mick Channon. Not so good nowadays, but he gained first win for current yard in 22f Musselburgh handicap in February. Below-par seventh here last time though, so he needs to get back on track.
2
|PU| (2) (7.5/1 +12%) Indy Five
7.5
7.5/1(+12%)
(2) Indy Five 7.5/1, Has benefited from return to positive tactics when a dual winner this term, going with enthusiasm and well on top finish in 26f handicap here four weeks ago. Much respected despite 8 lb hike in the weights.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(6) Corey's Courage 5.5/1, Bumper winner on debut last term and maintained unbeaten record with some authority when making it 3-3 in mares' novice hurdles at Doncaster last month. Opening mark of 117 looks more than manageable. Leading claims.
11
1st (11) (14/1 +50%) Largy G
14
14/1(+50%)
(11) Largy G 14/1, Placed 3 times in mares's maiden/novices, finishing 16¾ lengths third of 13 to to stablemate Speech Bubble over C&D on latest. Handicap debut.
2
2nd (2) (2.25/1 +72%) Nina The Terrier
2.25
2.25/1(+72%)
(2) Nina The Terrier 2.25/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in novice company when seeing off 4 rivals over 2m here in November. Finished 9 lengths behind the reopposing Speech Bubble when third in Sandown Grade 2 in February. Down the field in Dawn Run at Cheltenham since.
12
3rd (12) (9/1 -20%) Sabrina
9
9/1(-20%)
(12) Sabrina 9/1, Ascot bumper scorer who left her first 3 hurdles runs behind when making a winning handicap debut at Wincanton (21f) in a first-time tongue tie (retained) a month ago. Effectively 10 lb higher here but she's an unexposed sort from a top yard so it'd be dangerous to rule out further improvement.
4
4th (4) (7/1 +68%) Tweed Skirt
7
7/1(+68%)
(4) Tweed Skirt 7/1, Bumper winner who made second hurdles outing a successful one at Ascot in November. However, well behind Speech Bubble in a C&D novice next time and out of depth in Dawn Run at Cheltenham since. Still fairly early days for top yard but others are more obvious.
13
5th (13) (18/1 +10%) Moonamacaroona
18
18/1(+10%)
(13) Moonamacaroona 18/1, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts in bumpers. Yet to get her head in front over hurdles but she ran well for second on her 19.5f Doncaster handicap debut in February and may have been unsuited by softer ground when only fifth back there since. 3 lb out of handicap.
16
6th (16) (20/1 -25%) Gentle Connections
20
20/1(-25%)
(16) Gentle Connections 20/1, Shaped with promise in 3 novice hurdles. Appeals as one likely to go on to better things in handicaps but she's 8 lb out of the weights in this first one so she will require a good chunk of improvement to get heavily involved.
3
7th (3) (6.5/1 +24%) Holly Hartingo
6.5
6.5/1(+24%)
(3) Holly Hartingo 6.5/1, 6-y-o who was placed in Irish points and has made a promising start under Rules, winning a pair of mares' novices around 21f at the turn of the year. Unsuited by the drop to 2m when only third of 4 in Hereford handicap 3 weeks ago. Retains potential back up in trip.
15
8th (15) (6/1 +50%) Runwiththetide
6
6/1(+50%)
(15) Runwiththetide 6/1, Point winner who hasn't really improved from her promising first go over hurdles at Chepstow in the autumn but she's been given a break ahead of this handicap debut and is worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
7
9th (7) (33/1 +34%) The Player Queen
33
33/1(+34%)
(7) The Player Queen 33/1, Point/bumper winner who built on earlier promise when doubling hurdles tally in 5-runner novice at Musselburgh in February. Found the Dawn Run at Cheltenham all too much latest. Handicap debut.
5
10th (5) (10/1 +38%) Nextdoortoalice
10
10/1(+38%)
(5) Nextdoortoalice 10/1, Winning start for this yard in 19.5f Doncaster novice in November. Better form when runner-up next 2 starts. Perhaps unsuited by more testing ground when below-form fourth back at Doncaster latest. Yard won this last year.
8
11th (8) (10/1 +38%) Good Look Charm
10
10/1(+38%)
(8) Good Look Charm 10/1, Fairly useful bumper scorer who made it 2-3 over hurdles when making all in 17f Exeter handicap in February. Step back up in trip should suit. Each-way claims.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(1) Antunes 4/1, Lost his way for Dan Skelton but scored from a much-reduced mark for this yard at Bangor last month. Hard to know whether that signifies a wider resurgence now up another 9 lb.
4
2nd (4) (1.5/1 +33%) Doukarov
1.5
1.5/1(+33%)
(4) Doukarov 1.5/1, Has thrived this season, a C&D win in December and last month's Sandown victory bookending a series of creditable placed efforts in defeat. Now has a career-high mark to contend with but should go well again.
6
3rd (6) (4/1 +43%) Glajou
4
4/1(+43%)
(6) Glajou 4/1, Ex-French hurdler who improved for switch to chasing last term, scoring at Southwell. Questions over his resolution arose again at Wincanton last time, though he's now 4 lb lower than his last winning mark.
7
4th (7) (25/1 +11%) Jan Maat
25
25/1(+11%)
(7) Jan Maat 25/1, Useful chaser at his best for Henry de Bromhead but has finished down the field in 3 starts hurdling/chasing for this yard and hard to see a resurgence here.
5
|F| (5) (7/1 +22%) Paddy's Poem
7
7/1(+22%)
(5) Paddy's Poem 7/1, Scored at Wincanton last season but is yet to fire this year and is likely best passed over.
3
|PU| (3) (5/1 +41%) Fanzio
5
5/1(+41%)
(3) Fanzio 5/1, In-and-out this season, producing another underwhelming effort when last of 5 at Hereford 3 weeks ago. Capable from this mark if putting his best foot forward but he's not one to be relied upon.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Lalor 5/1, Smart chaser who got back on track for new yard when third of 19 in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on return. Disappointed on both starts since, but this much less competitive.
2
2nd (2) (2.12/1 +15%) Al Dancer
2.12
2.12/1(+15%)
(2) Al Dancer 2.12/1, Form tailed off following a promising start over fences last season but back from a break and in first-time cheekpieces, he turned in his best effort of the season when third at Chepstow 5 weeks ago. Tongue tie applied and this step back up in trip sure to suit. Major player.
4
3rd (4) (8/1 -60%) Barton Knoll
8
8/1(-60%)
(4) Barton Knoll 8/1, Returned to form to capitalise on a drop in the weights in 4-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f) in November, just holding on. Similar form when runner-up at Wetherby 10 weeks later and likely to remain competitive from an unchanged mark.
5
4th (5) (3.5/1 +22%) Dorking Lad
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(5) Dorking Lad 3.5/1, Scored at Wincanton and Huntingdon earlier this year but never really found much of a rhythm after an early error in his hat-trick bid at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Can get back on track provided mistakes are kept to a minimum.
3
|U| (3) (2.75/1 +0%) Dublin Four
2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(3) Dublin Four 2.75/1, C&D winner on yard bow in November and not disgraced after 10 weeks off when fifth back here 4 weeks ago. Remains early days for this yard so shouldn't be underestimated.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(1) Leave Of Absence 0.53/1, Ex-pointer who looked above average when scoring impressively at Kempton on Rules debut. Well capable of defying a penalty.
5
2nd (5) (2.25/1 +18%) Boom Boom
2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(5) Boom Boom 2.25/1, Sent off at 5/4 but didn't really come up to expectations when third to Leave of Absence in Kempton bumper 50 days ago. May improve, but hard to see him turning the tables.
7
3rd (7) (66/1 +0%) My Gift To You
66
66/1(+0%)
(7) My Gift To You 66/1, Bred to need further and was down the field at Warwick first time out, so others are more persuasive.
6
4th (6) (20/1 +29%) Getaway With You
20
20/1(+29%)
(6) Getaway With You 20/1, £33,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser No Comment, stays 3¼m, and fairly useful hurdler High Moon. Will probably need more time.
3
5th (3) (11/1 +21%) Hurricane Le Dun
11
11/1(+21%)
(3) Hurricane Le Dun 11/1, Well fancied but stopped quickly at Doncaster on debut 81 days ago. In good hands, so no great surprise if he proves a different proposition this time.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

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.
