1
1st (1) Manimole (8/11 +68%)
Manimole

0.727273
8/11(+68%)
(1) Manimole 8/11, Has been on the go all year but nevertheless showed much improved form to win 11-runner C&D novice (good to soft) 23 days ago, clear approaching last and staying on strongly. Carries a 3 lb penalty but still the one to beat.
Splendidly tough mare; third hurdles win came over C&D three weeks ago; the one to beat.

2nd (3) Brave Jen (50/1 -525%)
Brave Jen

50
50/1(-525%)
(3) Brave Jen 50/1, Kayf Tara mare who displayed some promise in bumpers but made novicey mistakes when comfortably held on last month's hurdling debut at Plumpton. Big step forward required.
Has looked one of her yard's lesser lights so far, unplaced in bumpers and a maiden hurdle.
5
3rd (5) Mary (22/1 -238%)
Mary

22
22/1(-238%)
(5) Mary 22/1, Yeats filly who showed plenty of promise when placed in bumpers at Warwick and Cheltenham last spring and made an encouraging hurdling debut after 6 months off when third at Huntingdon (15.8f) 18 days ago. Likely to improve.
Fair start over hurdles when third at Huntingdon; improvement is possible but necessary.
2
4th (2) Belle Of Annandale (17/2 -113%)
Belle Of Annandale

8.5
17/2(-113%)
(2) Belle Of Annandale 17/2, Fair maiden on Flat for Keith Dalgleish and ran to a similar level in getting off the mark immediately switched to hurdles at Perth in August. Poor effort at Hexham 3 weeks later but got back on the up when running out a clear-cut winner at Musselburgh last month and has solid claims up in grade.
2-3 over hurdles, best effort when winning in clearcut style at Musselburgh; in the mix.
6
5th (6) Mighty Moth (4/1 -33%)
Mighty Moth

4
4/1(-33%)
(6) Mighty Moth 4/1, Placed in bumpers and showed some aptitude for hurdling when third of 12 in 10-runner novice (10/1) at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. That form has been franked since and she's an interesting contender up in grade with improvement on the cards.
Showed promise in bumpers and when third in Ascot novice hurdle; not without a chance.
4
6th (4) Isabella Bee (9/2 +18%)
Isabella Bee

4.5
9/2(+18%)
(4) Isabella Bee 9/2, Has improved plenty for the switch to handicaps, completing a hat-trick in 14-runner event at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 16 days ago, driven out. This demands more but she's clearly on an upward curve.
Three handicap wins this autumn and doesn't have that much to find on ratings.
LTO Selection:

11:55 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

MANIMOLE was an impressive 15-length winner over C&D last month and the second from that contest has subsequently won well herself. With that in mind, Nigel Twiston-Davies' six-year-old should be hard to beat again, despite the step up in grade. Belle Of Annandale could prove to be the main threat following her success at Musselburgh, although Isabella Bee should not be discounted.

MIGHTY MOTH showed an aptitude for hurdling behind a pair of expensive recruits from the pointing field at Ascot 4 weeks ago and, with that form already working out, she's taken to cause a minor surprise up in grade. Manimole is a leading player judged on last month's C&D win, while Belle of Annandale is also feared following a clear-cut success at Musselburgh.

Not a vintage running of this Listed race and the likeable MANIMOLE may be able to defy a small penalty for a convincing C&D success.

7
1st (7) Inch House (6/4 +40%)
Inch House

1.5
6/4(+40%)
(7) Inch House 6/4, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who confirmed promise of his chase debut effort when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (23.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. 10 lb higher now but further improvement looks on the cards.
Up 10lb after win here; very lightly raced and a strong candidate for further improvement.
10
2nd (10) Lord Baddesley (12/1 -20%)
Lord Baddesley

12
12/1(-20%)
(10) Lord Baddesley 12/1, Won over hurdles/fences at Plumpton last season and made a pleasing return at same course in October. Underperformed latest, though, and finds himself in a deeper contest now.
Disappointing favourite in a warm 2m4f handicap at this course in March; ran poorly latest.
6
3rd (6) Killer Kane (7/1 -27%)
Killer Kane

7
7/1(-27%)
(6) Killer Kane 7/1, Impressed when landing a gamble at Kempton (24f) in February and continued in good heart subsequently, signing last season off with a fine third in Topham Chase at Aintree. Shaped as if needing his Wincanton return 5 weeks ago and can make his presence felt.
3m2f seemed to play a part in reappearance loss; on the premises if he's back to his best.
11
4th (11) Java Point (12/1 -33%)
Java Point

12
12/1(-33%)
(11) Java Point 12/1, Posted creditable third (off 5 lb higher) in this event last term but his form was rather mixed thereafter and he ran poorly when last seen at Aintree in May. Something to prove on return for new yard here.
Good record at this track, including third in this race last year off 5lb higher; new yard.
2
5th (2) Jay Jay Reilly (8/1 +20%)
Jay Jay Reilly

8
8/1(+20%)
(2) Jay Jay Reilly 8/1, Won twice (at up to 18f) over fences last term and shaped better than distance beaten when third of 7 at Kempton (18f, good) on return 41 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is worth a crack at this longer trip.
Respectable latest; probably stays 2m4f but usually seen at shorter and below form at 2m5f.
12
6th (12) Cap Du Nord (20/1 -43%)
Cap Du Nord

20
20/1(-43%)
(12) Cap Du Nord 20/1, Grand servant to connections but out of sorts in recent months, return of headgear making little difference when well beaten at Haydock 7 days ago. Won this event 3 years ago but hard to envisage a repeat based on current form.
Down the weights; 2m6f looks too short and it does not look like he's coming to the boil.
9
7th (9) Way Out (3/1 +60%)
Way Out

3
3/1(+60%)
(9) Way Out 3/1, Irish point winner who won all 3 starts over hurdles this season and built on an encouraging start in this sphere when 5½ lengths third of 11 to Inch House at this course (23.4f, good to soft, 10/1) 23 days ago. Entitled to go well again although it's hard to see him reversing that form.
Good third at Cheltenham (2m4f) and Newbury (2m7f; to Inch House) in his two chases.
4
8th (4) Kapga De Lily (10/1 +17%)
Kapga De Lily

10
10/1(+17%)
(4) Kapga De Lily 10/1, Won 5 chases in 2020/21 and upped her game further the following season, including winning the same event at Hereford off 24 lb higher mark. Wasn't quite at same level last term but has had a wind operation since last seen and yard could hardly be in better form.
Wind surgery in October; stable in red-hot form; some respite from the handicapper.
LTO Selection:

12:30 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

NASSALAM caught the eye when staying on into fourth on his seasonal return in the Grand Sefton at Aintree three weeks ago and Gary Moore's gelding could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing under his belt. Inch House created a big impression when scoring over 2m7f here last month, although a 10lb rise for that success has to be a slight concern. Killer Kane edges out Jay Jay Reilly to be best of the rest.

Preference is for KAPGA DE LILY, who has an excellent record fresh and returns just 2 lb above her last winning mark. Inch House won with something in hand here last month and is feared most, whilst course winner Nassalam is also respected after his encouraging return at Aintree last month.

After only one point-to-point and five races under rules, INCH HOUSE (nap) is the standout candidate to find significant improvement.

1st (9) Jingko Blue (7/4 +0%)
Jingko Blue

1.75
7/4(+0%)
(9) Jingko Blue 7/4, Won sole start in Irish points in February and made a promising start under Rules when second in a novice at Warwick last month. Sets the standard with the scope for better, so should take the beating.
Beaten at odds-on on hurdling debut at Warwick but shaped well; may well go one better.
2
2nd (2) Masaccio (7/4 +0%)
Masaccio

1.75
7/4(+0%)
(2) Masaccio 7/4, Useful bumper winner who returned from 6 months off to make a successful start over hurdles in novice at Chepstow 32 days ago. Has a penalty in a better race but he's open to improvement.
Took well to hurdling when scoring in a big field at Chepstow; open to improvement.
1
3rd (1) Emailandy (4/1 +43%)
Emailandy

4
4/1(+43%)
(1) Emailandy 4/1, Third in a bumper in the spring and built on that to make a successful start over hurdles in novice at Plumpton, powering away. Should do better, so merits plenty of respect.
Easy winner on hurdling debut at Plumpton; represents yard with a fine record in this race.
7
4th (7) Il Va De Soi (20/1 -43%)
Il Va De Soi

20
20/1(-43%)
(7) Il Va De Soi 20/1, Promise in bumpers and some encouragement when fourth at Ascot on hurdling debut. Goes up in trip but likely to be outclassed in this company.
Hurdling debut came in a race with depth; lots to find on form but not written off.
10
5th (10) Kayf Dancer (28/1 -180%)
Kayf Dancer

28
28/1(-180%)
(10) Kayf Dancer 28/1, Brother to a bumper winner and made a solid start in that sphere when third at Exeter 10 months ago. Should take to hurdling, so not completely dismissed.
Third in a bumper at Exeter; off 11 months since and now goes hurdling in warmish race.
13
6th (13) Touch Of Thunder (150/1 +0%)
Touch Of Thunder

150
150/1(+0%)
(13) Touch Of Thunder 150/1, Modest in bumpers and achieved a similar level when a well-held seventh in a novice at Plumpton on hurdling debut. Others preferred.
Unplaced in two bumpers and a novice hurdle, beaten out of sight by Emailandy in latter.
6
7th (6) Grass's Jet (150/1 -355%)
Grass's Jet

150
150/1(-355%)
(6) Grass's Jet 150/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points but not enough encouragement over hurdles to make him of serious interest in this.
Went wrong way when well-held fifth at Warwick last time; plenty of improvement required.
5
8th (5) Eire Street (150/1 -88%)
Eire Street

150
150/1(-88%)
(5) Eire Street 150/1, Lightly raced in points and showed promise when staying on for second in a Sligo bumper last summer. Not in same form for current connections, including on hurdling debut at Lingfield recently.
No impact in a bumper or novice hurdle (125-1) since joining current connections.
8
|F| (8) Jeu Des Champs (15/2 +25%)
Jeu Des Champs

7.5
15/2(+25%)
(8) Jeu Des Champs 15/2, €65,000 3-y-o, £180,000 4-y-o, Joshua Tree gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler What Path. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 9). Noteworthy Rules newcomer.
Changed hands for £180,000 after debut second in an Irish point; needs a market check.
14
10th (14) Wonder Of The Seas (80/1 -60%)
Wonder Of The Seas

80
80/1(-60%)
(14) Wonder Of The Seas 80/1, Well held in bumper/over hurdles and looks firmly up against it again.
Well beaten in three runs; may do better in handicaps but faces a stiff assignment here.
4
11th (4) Dixie Flyer (200/1 -60%)
Dixie Flyer

200
200/1(-60%)
(4) Dixie Flyer 200/1, Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy, 66/1) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Has had a wind op. Hard to fancy.
Well beaten in his two runs for current stable and now returns from wind surgery.
LTO Selection:

13:05 Newbury Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

MASACCIO accounted for subsequent winner Beat The Bat when successful on his hurdling debut at Chepstow and Alan King's gelding merits the utmost respect here, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Expensive point-to-point recruit Jingko Blue was a beaten odds-on favourite on his Rules debut at Warwick, but he was not disgraced on that occasion and should not be underestimated. Others to consider are Emailandy and Kayf Dancer.

JINGKO BLUE is the form pick and has plenty of improvement in him, so he gets the vote over Emailandy and Masaccio, who both shoulder penalties on the back of winning hurdling debuts.

Emailandy is much respected but JINGKO BLUE, who looks the Henderson first string on paper, can go one better than at Warwick.

8
1st (8) Get A Tonic (28/1 -367%)
Get A Tonic

28
28/1(-367%)
(8) Get A Tonic 28/1, Won only start in Irish points and quickly made up into a useful hurdler, winning 3 times during novice campaign. Didn't kick on from a promising return display in handful of starts last season and returns to hurdles having not convinced on chase debut at Warwick last month.
Below par lately; chasing quickly put on hold; well treated on best form but carries risks.
3
2nd (3) Anyharminasking (10/1 +38%)
Anyharminasking

10
10/1(+38%)
(3) Anyharminasking 10/1, Has a largely progressive profile and he ran right up to his best when second on return in Welsh Champion Hurdle in October. Not in same form when ninth in last month's Greatwood Hurdle but return to less testing conditions here may help.
Soft ground possibly counted against him last time; this step up to 2m4f could suit.
2
3rd (2) North Lodge (7/1 +36%)
North Lodge

7
7/1(+36%)
(2) North Lodge 7/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who won first 2 starts over hurdles (latterly Grade 2) and upped his game further in defeat, last seen posting a good third in Grade 1 Mersey at Aintree in spring 2022. Absent subsequently but unlikely to be lacking for fitness on return/handicap debut.
Very lightly raced 6yo, last seen finishing third in Aintree Grade 1 novice in April 2022.
11
4th (11) Off To A Flyer (10/1 +38%)
Off To A Flyer

10
10/1(+38%)
(11) Off To A Flyer 10/1, Back on track when signing off last term with success in an Ayr maiden (24.3f) in April and better than bare result when midfield in 20-runner Cheltenham handicap (21f, soft) on return 2 weeks ago, losing place when badly hampered 2 out. Remains one to be interested in.
Could finish only in midfield at Cheltenham on reappearance and is on a retrieval mission.
10
5th (10) Uncle Bert (5/1 +0%)
Uncle Bert

5
5/1(+0%)
(10) Uncle Bert 5/1, Resumed with victory in 2m4f Perth handicap in September but seemed anchored by 9 lb rise when fourth at Chepstow (19.5f) a month later. Fell early on at Cheltenham 2 weeks ago but it does remain early days with him in handicaps at least.
Easy winner at Perth and things have not gone his way since; could still be unexposed.
6
6th (6) Rock My Way (12/1 +0%)
Rock My Way

12
12/1(+0%)
(6) Rock My Way 12/1, Winning Irish pointer who landed a 2½m Grade 2 novice hurdle at Cheltenham in January. Disappointed in 2 starts thereafter but showed benefit of his reappearance run when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle back at that venue 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
Fifth in Cheltenham handicap last time; needs to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces.
9
7th (9) Irish Hill (5/1 +38%)
Irish Hill

5
5/1(+38%)
(9) Irish Hill 5/1, Progressive when completing a handicap hurdle hat-trick last winter. Higher marks found him out at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals in the spring and possible he needed the run back from 7 months off at Kempton (21f) 12 days ago.
Satisfactory reappearance when fourth of seven at Kempton; becoming well handicapped again.
1
8th (1) Sebastopol (12/1 -20%)
Sebastopol

12
12/1(-20%)
(1) Sebastopol 12/1, Smart chaser who capitalised on his much lower hurdles mark back from 6 months off at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in September. Didn't find a great deal for pressure when third at Kelso (20.9f) later that month but given more of a break ahead of this. Rider takes off handy 7 lb.
Mixes hurdling and chasing; winner in September; drying ground would suit; each-way claims.
7
|PU| (7) Jet Powered (5/2 +50%)
Jet Powered

2.5
5/2(+50%)
(7) Jet Powered 5/2, 350,000 gns purchase after winning sole start in Irish points and impressed when making winning hurdles debut here (16.3f) 12 months ago. Clearly not himself when well held a month later and he remains with potential now handicapping up in trip.
Looked a smart prospect on hurdling debut; folded tamely next time; still has potential.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A difficult puzzle to solve but a chance is taken on GET A TONIC, who returns to hurdles after running in novice chase company. Dan Skelton's mare arrives on her last winning mark and appears well treated if able to bounce back to form. Jet Powered looked an exciting prospect when getting of the mark at the first time of asking over hurdles, only to disappoint subsequently, and he is feared most on his handicap debut. Better can be expected of Uncle Bert after his early fall at Cheltenham.

Firmly back on track when opening his account at Ayr back in the spring, OFF TO A FLYER shaped much better than the bare result on his return at Cheltenham 2 weeks ago and he's well worth another chance to prove his revised mark a workable one. Jet Powered and North Lodge are a couple of fascinating contenders back from absences and they need factoring in. Cobblers Dream is another worth a look.

The lightly raced Jet Powered looks dangerous but UNCLE BERT could still be unexposed as well and gets the verdict.

1st (1) Hansard (15/2 -7%)
Hansard

7.5
15/2(-7%)
(1) Hansard 15/2, Impressive as he won his first 2 starts over hurdles for this yard last winter. Improved again when fourth in 2m Grade 1 novice at Aintree in April and returned with a fine 4¼ lengths second of 4 to Rubaud in Elite Hurdle at Wincanton, looking a threat until losing momentum 2 out. Respected.
Fine 4th in Grade 1 novice at Aintree in April and he's one to consider on handicap debut.

Bad

6.5

(7) Bad 13/2, Winner in France. Better than the result in 2 strong juvenile handicap hurdles for this yard in the spring and made a satisfactory return to action when beaten just under 13 lengths into third at Ascot 4 weeks ago. There's a feeling he has a bigger performance in him at some point.
Lightly raced 4yo who could improve for last month's return at Ascot, but he needs to.
3
3rd (3) Brentford Hope (9/4 +32%)
Brentford Hope

2.25
9/4(+32%)
(3) Brentford Hope 9/4, Bordering on smart on the Flat and probably going to reach a similar level over hurdles, making it 3-4 from this yard when easily seeing off 10 rivals in a C&D handicap on last month's reappearance. Even an 11 lb rise may not stop him.
Bolted up in C&D handicap last month and an 11lb rise might not stop him.

Has run well at Kempton the last twice but this is a much tougher assignment.
4

Soundly beaten at Ascot when bidding for hat-trick but that was on soft; not written off.
8
6th (8) Celtic Art (25/1 +0%)
Celtic Art

25
25/1(+0%)
(8) Celtic Art 25/1, Useful winner on Flat and took his record over hurdles to 3-7 when reacting well to cheekpieces (retained) to win a 2m Lingfield Class 4 handicap 18 days ago. Only up 3 lb but this is a jump in grade.
Back to form in cheekpieces at Lingfield latest but likely vulnerable in this hotter race.

Under Control

2.25

(2) Under Control 9/4, Her only defeat in 5 starts over hurdles came when well held in Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival, bouncing back from that disappointing run to win handicaps at Cheltenham and Sandown in April. Raised another 9 lb but likely has more to come and her yard does well in this race. Had wind op.
Won handicaps on final two runs last season and this unexposed 4yo has stacks of potential.

(5) Doyen Ta Win 33/1, Progressive 3-time winner over hurdles last term. Run of good form came to a halt when well held in a Killarney listed handicap in May but no surprise were she to bounce back on return to action.
Three front-running wins last season and this Irish mare is not ruled out on her return.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

UNDER CONTROL is on a hat-trick after wins at Cheltenham and Sandown in April and should she return to the track in similar form, she will take plenty of beating. Nicky Henderson's filly was half a length in front of stablemate Iberico Lord, who gave the form a big boost when landing the Greatwood, at the Esher venue and more improvement is anticipated. Brentford Hope struck in bloodless fashion over C&D last month and the 11lb rise is warranted. Hansard heads the remainder.

BRENTFORD HOPE had plenty in hand in a C&D handicap last month and might be able to defy a rise in the weights with further improvement on the cards. Our Champ had an excuse for a lesser run last time and can resume his progression and provide the chief threat ahead of Under Control, who is seeking to provide Nicky Henderson with a fourth win in this since 2019.

Nicky Henderson has a fine record in the Gerry Feilden and the unexposed 4yo filly UNDER CONTROL can complete a hat-trick.

(11) Datsalrightgino 10/1, Ended novice season with success in Grade 2 company at Ayr (20.5f) in April, staying on well. Not seen to best effect when eighth in Old Roan Chase on return and suspicion there's more to come from him now stamina is tested further.
Won 2m4f Grade 2 novice at Ayr in April and may well have staying potential; not ruled out.

(9) Mahler Mission 15/2, Improved model over fences, second in Grade 2 company prior to falling 2 out in NH Chase at Cheltenham (29.9f) in March, 5 lengths up and responding well to pressure at the time. Respectable second over inadequate trip on return at Carlisle (20f) 4 weeks ago. One to consider on handicap chase debut.

12

(12) Monbeg Genius 13/2, Highly progressive chaser who won 3 handicaps last winter before ending his campaign with an excellent third to Corach Rambler in the Ultima at Cheltenham (25f, good to soft). Undone by a bad mistake when pulled up on return at Ascot (23.8f) 4 weeks ago and he remains one to be positive about.
His Ultima third has worked out phenomenally well; had an excuse on Ascot reappearance.

Reappearance 3rd at Ascot was eyecatching and he's well handicapped on last autumn's form.

(17) Cloudy Glen 20/1, Hard to predict but he brought his A game to the table when landing this race on return 2 years ago. Seen only 3 times last season and whilst he proved he retains most of ability when second on return at Cheltenham (27.3f) 13 days ago, he's not sure to be in same form here.
Won this two years ago and second on recent reappearance, but this 10yo may be vulnerable.

33/1(+0%)
(20) Shakem Up'arry 33/1, Made a winning return at Exeter (19.2f) last winter prior to posting creditable in-the-frame efforts in handicaps thereafter, albeit possibly stretched by extended 3m at Aintree final start. Low-key return at Stratford 30 days ago though, and others rate stronger back up in class.
Made the frame at Cheltenham/Aintree in the spring but pulled up on last month's return.

Ga Law

7
7/1(+36%)
(7) Ga Law 7/1, Landed last season's Paddy Power Gold Cup and still firmly in the mix when coming to grief at the last in Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster. Highly tried in 2 starts thereafter but he'll need to step up plenty on his Wetherby hurdles return 28 days ago. Cheekpieces go on. 1st preference 3.05 Newcastle.
Cheekpieces could help his jumping; on a competitive mark and not ruled out.

10/1(+0%)
(18) Bill Baxter 10/1, Had a fine first season over fences, gaining fourth success when gamely landing the Topham over the National fences at Aintree (21f) in April. Satisfactory reappearance run on unfavourable terms when third at Carlisle (20f) 4 weeks ago. Up significantly in trip back from a wind op now.
Four handicap wins last season; fair third on reappearance and retains potential.

Stolen Silver

14
14/1(+13%)
(2) Stolen Silver 14/1, Largely campaigned at around 2½m as a chaser but he had no problem with step up in trip when making winning return at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) in October, storming clear and eased close home. 7 lb higher now but that may not prove his limit now upped further in trip.
Had loads in hand when upped to extended 2m7f at Chepstow on return; entitled to respect.

|F| (3) Midnight River (10/1 +0%)
Midnight River

10
10/1(+0%)
(3) Midnight River 10/1, Very smart handicap chaser who enjoyed a fine 2022/23, improving for the step up in trip when registering third success of the campaign at Aintree (25f) in April. Feasible to think he'll be sharper for his Charlie Hall reappearance third 4 weeks ago and he's of real interest.
Won competitive 3m1f handicap at Aintree in April and could still have more to offer.
14
|F| (14) Our Power (33/1 -106%)
Our Power

33
33/1(-106%)
(14) Our Power 33/1, Hit the ground running last term, winning valuable handicaps at Ascot/Kempton (at around 3m). Best not judged too harshly on his run in the National at Aintree but entitled to come forward from his hurdles return 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on returned to chasing.
Form hit new heights last season and further improvement is possible; could be a threat.
8
10th (8) Complete Unknown (4/1 +43%)
Complete Unknown

4
4/1(+43%)
(8) Complete Unknown 4/1, Useful hurdler and even better following switch to chasing, impressive when landing 10-runner Kempton handicap (20.5f) in March. Second in Aintree Grade 1 final start and likely his reappearance success in 3-runner Newton Abbot chase will have brought him on. Respected for leading yard.
Grade 1 novice chase runner-up at Aintree in April and has potential off his current mark.
15
11th (15) Twig (9/1 +55%)
Twig

9
9/1(+55%)
(15) Twig 9/1, 8-y-o who boasts a good strike, adding to his chase tally in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (26f) in July. Well backed, matched that level when second of 13 in handicap at Cheltenham in October. Remains low-mileage as a chaser.
Progressive and runner-up at Cheltenham latest, but needs extra in this red-hot handicap.
6
12th (6) Zanza (33/1 -65%)
Zanza

33
33/1(-65%)
(6) Zanza 33/1, Enhanced his very good course record when landing Grade 2 Denman Chase in February before a good fourth in Greatwood Gold Cup. Entitled to be sharper for his reappearance run over hurdles 23 days ago but this mark demands that bit more now.
Won Grade 2 Denman here in February; could go well at favourite track now back over fences.
13
13th (13) Kitty's Light (28/1 -40%)
Kitty's Light

28
28/1(-40%)
(13) Kitty's Light 28/1, Most likeable staying chaser who signed off last season by landing an exceptional hat-trick, winning the Eider Chase, Scottish National and bet365 Gold Cup. Low-key efforts in 2 hurdle spins this term and he may have his sights on targets later in the campaign. Headgear back on.
Completed notable marathon hat-trick this February/April; not ruled out now back chasing.
16
|PU| (16) Stumptown (9/1 +25%)
Stumptown

9/1(+25%)
(16) Stumptown 9/1, Successful in handicaps at Thurles/Sandown prior to a fine second in the Kim Muir at the Festival in March. May have found Irish National coming too soon the following month but hasn't threatened in a couple of starts during the summer. Comes here with yard in good form.
Runner-up in Kim Muir at Cheltenham; contender on that form but needs to get back on track.

|PU| (1) Ahoy Senor (12/1 +25%)
Ahoy Senor

12
12/1(+25%)
(1) Ahoy Senor 12/1, Top-class chaser who landed the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham in January. Fell in Gold Cup next time but he enhanced his fine Aintree record when runner-up in Grade 1 Bowl a month later. Jumping again let him down on return in Charlie Hall but possibilities if putting it all together.
Concedes lots of weight but can be a serious force if reproducing his best Grade 1 form.

|PU| (4) Dusart (22/1 +12%)
Dusart

22
22/1(+12%)
(4) Dusart 22/1, Quickly made up into a very smart performer during first half of 2022, winning 3 of his 4 starts at up to 3m. Things didn't go to plan confined to just 3 starts last term, brought down in Scottish National when last seen in April. This a tough enough assignment back from 7 months off.
Highly talented in 2021-22 season; not written off but others have more pressing cases.
10
|PU| (10) Remastered (33/1 -32%)
Remastered

33
33/1(-32%)
(10) Remastered 33/1, Made a winning return over hurdles prior to a big effort when second behind Le Milos in this race 12 months ago. Pulled up next 2 starts though and below best on return (following another wind op) over hurdles at Aintree 21 days ago.
Worth a second look given his record in this race but a return to form is needed.

|PU| (19) Max Flamingo (50/1 +0%)
Max Flamingo

50
50/1(+0%)
(19) Max Flamingo 50/1, Landed a couple of maiden/novice chase contests during early 2022 but largely struggled over fences/hurdles thereafter last term. More encouraging signs in 2 starts over hurdles this campaign and whilst step back up in trip will suit this rates a difficult ask.
His form has been patchy since he won a novice chase at Killarney (2m7f, good) in May 2022.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 1) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

STOLEN SILVER returned to action to run out an easy six-length victor in a class 2 event over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from taking this valuable prize too, with his stamina now proven. Complete Unknown, who chased home Gerri Colombe in a Grade 1 at the Grand National meeting back in the spring, just did enough in heavy ground at Newton Abbot on his comeback and has to be feared. So does Mahler Mission, who warmed up with an encouraging Carlisle second over an inadequate trip. Monbeg Genius' jumping let him down at Ascot but he is fancied to take a significant step forward.

Highly progressive in his novice season over fences, MONBEG GENIUS was undone by a mistake on his return at Ascot 4 weeks ago. The pick of his form last term, not least his third behind subsequent National hero Corach Rambler at Cheltenham in March, indicates he remains one to be interested in from this mark. Mahler Mission produced a solid comeback run at Carlisle and he's feared, along with Datsalrightgino. Complete Unknown and Midnight River complete the shortlist.

The Ultima form from Cheltenham in March has worked out exceptionally well and the third MONBEG GENIUS can fulfil that promise.

9/2(+55%)
(1) Elixir De Nutz 9/2, Upped his form over fences last season, scoring at Wincanton in January before good runner-up efforts in Game Spirit over C&D and Ayr. Matched personal best when taking Haldon Gold Cup under this pilot at Exeter (17.5f, soft) last month and looks sure to give another good account.
Won the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter three weeks ago and can give another good account.

(3) Master Chewy 4/6, Much improved since switching to chasing, scoring on debut at Aintree (15.8f) before good second of 9 in handicap over same C&D 21 days ago, clear of rest (only 6 of the scheduled 12 fences jumped). 6 lb higher now but likely has more to offer yet.
A win and a close second from his first two chase starts; key player.

(2) Xcitations 6/1, Dual scorer last term who got back to winning ways when taking 6-runner handicap chase (9/2) at Sandown (15.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. 4 lb rise not excessive but this looks more competitive.
Won at Sandown three weeks ago but probably needs a career-best in this hotter race.

(6) The Russian Doyen 14/1, Useful during his time with Colin Tizzard and bounced back to something like his best when scoring over C&D for this yard in February of last year. Not seen for 20 months, however, and is likely best watched. 2 lb out of the handicap.
Stable is in good form but this 10yo has a very hefty absence to defy.

In fine form at Kelso this year; could continue to progress but goes up in grade today.

(7) Calgary Tiger 22/1, Little worthwhile form over hurdles but he made it 2-2 over fences when scoring at this course in March. Not disgraced in Wincanton hat-trick bid later that month but faces a stiff task from 12 lb out of the handicap on return here.
Two wins earlier this year but he's 12lb out of the handicap for this reappearance.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Master Chewy has taken really well to fences, almost completing an Aintree double (Real Stone back in fourth last time), and he could have a say after a further 6lb hike. However, the vote still goes to top-weight ELIXIR DE NUTZ, who lifted the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter after taking a big step forward from his seasonal reappearance, and a 5lb rise looks on the lenient side. Bollingerandkrug is in cracking form and completes the shortlist.

MASTER CHEWY is going the right way in this sphere and lost little in defeat when runner-up in a messy race at Aintree 3 weeks ago. He can resume winning ways in the finale. Impressive Haydock scorer Real Stone and the likeable Elixir de Nutz can give him most to think about.

The 6yo MASTER CHEWY is thriving and is taken to make it 2-3 over fences. Real Stone could be a big danger.

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.
