The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Knappers Hill 0.44/1, 3-3 in bumpers, including Grade 2, and stretched unbeaten record to 5 with novice hurdle wins in autumn. Solid efforts in much stronger events at Ascot and Newbury prior to folding tamely in EBF Final at Sandown. Sets the standard and can bounce back.
1
2nd (1) (2.5/1 +58%) Diligent
2.5
2.5/1(+58%)
(1) Diligent 2.5/1, Useful chaser who added to his already impressive strike rate when easy winner of 5-runner novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Double penalty makes life tougher, though.
4
3rd (4) (25/1 -178%) Cadeau D'or
25
25/1(-178%)
(4) Cadeau D'or 25/1, Fair 1f Flat winner for Andrew Balding but off since unseating rider 3f out in handicap at Yarmouth in October. Goes hurdling now for yard amongst the winners but faces a stiff task against some above average types. Hooded.
3
4th (3) (14/1 -155%) Geni De La Cour
14
14/1(-155%)
(3) Geni De La Cour 14/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt in 17-runner maiden at Clonmel (18.7f, heavy) 44 days ago. That form has been franked by the fourth and fifth winning their next starts, and he may do better still for his new yard (has left Emmet Mullins).
5
|PU| (5) (250/1 -150%) Diamond Jack
250
250/1(-150%)
(5) Diamond Jack 250/1, Well held completed start in bumpers and showed nothing sent hurdling at Chepstow (16f, good) 14 days ago.
LTO Selection:
12:30 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Seddon 1.25/1, Scored over hurdles at Lingfield in November and posted excellent second at Newcastle (20.3f) 36 days ago. Switches to chasing and merits serious consideration off a handy-looking mark.
4
2nd (4) (1.88/1 +6%) Rock On Rocco
1.88
1.88/1(+6%)
(4) Rock On Rocco 1.88/1, Made it 2-4 runs this term when landing odds in match at Uttoxeter (22.5f) in September. Not discounted after his lay-off with tongue strap back on.
1
3rd (1) (14/1 -17%) Shoal Bay
14
14/1(-17%)
(1) Shoal Bay 14/1, Off 5 months and having his first run since leaving Colin Tizzard when unseated rider 2nd in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f) 21 days ago. Has something to prove.
3
4th (3) (6/1 -9%) Mr Mafia
6
6/1(-9%)
(3) Mr Mafia 6/1, Three-time winner this season but he was pulled up in handicap chase at Sandown (24.2f) 160 days ago, Course winner, so he could bounce back after a break.
5
5th (5) (8/1 -14%) As You Like
8
8/1(-14%)
(5) As You Like 8/1, C&D winner but he came in last of 5 in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f) 24 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
LTO Selection:
13:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(3) Morfee 2/1, Opened his account back over hurdles in 5-runner handicap at Plumpton (25f, good to soft) 26 days ago, well ridden. 3 lb rise fair and should remain competitive.
1
2nd (1) (8/1 -100%) Dell' Arca
8
8/1(-100%)
(1) Dell' Arca 8/1, Likeable veteran who wasn't disgraced when third in 5-runner affair at Plumpton (25f) last month, plugging on. Now 10 lb below last winning mark and drops in grade, so is taken to strike.
6
3rd (6) (4/1 -14%) Presenting Yeats
4
4/1(-14%)
(6) Presenting Yeats 4/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this season. Visored for 1st time, second of 4 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Fakenham (23.4f, good to soft) 151 days ago, though never travelling well. Cheekpieces back on.
5
4th (5) (6/1 +14%) Chloe's Court
6
6/1(+14%)
(5) Chloe's Court 6/1, Off the mark for the season under a sound tactical ride at Wincanton in March. Not disgraced from 7 lb higher at Newbury (24.2f, good, 22/1) 15 days ago and this is less competitive. Respected.
2
5th (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Lanspark
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(2) Lanspark 2.5/1, Pulled up first 2 starts this season, but firmly back on track when landing handicaps at Chepstow (23.6f) and Plumpton (25f) in the mud. Seemingly found out by an 8 lb rise when only fourth to Chloe's Court at Wincanton latest, however.
LTO Selection:
13:37 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(11) Scrumpy Boy 4.5/1, Exposed maiden, little impact since returning from a long lay-off this season. Cheekpieces go on.
1
2nd (1) (7.5/1 -50%) Askinvillar
7.5
7.5/1(-50%)
(1) Askinvillar 7.5/1, Point winner who has shown fair form over hurdles and seems on a fair mark. Let down by both his jumping and attitude sent chasing at Wincanton on Sunday when backed but switch to this left-handed track up in trip should suit at least.
8
3rd (8) (4.5/1 -50%) Master Mikey Dee
4.5
4.5/1(-50%)
(8) Master Mikey Dee 4.5/1, Little impact over hurdles though sprang a surprise from just out of the handicap on his chasing bow at Taunton (2m) last month, probably fortunate. Will need more up 5 lb/in trip.
4
4th (4) (3.33/1 +33%) Forget You Not
3.33
3.33/1(+33%)
(4) Forget You Not 3.33/1, Been running well when completing, winning at Exeter and Wincanton and not beaten far at latter track 17 days ago. One to consider.
6
|U| (6) (3.5/1 +42%) Pola Chance
3.5
3.5/1(+42%)
(6) Pola Chance 3.5/1, Hurdles winner in January 2020 and has a race in her over fences judged on front-running second at Taunton penultimate start. Visor replaces blinkers.
5
|U| (5) (20/1 +9%) Demothi
20
20/1(+9%)
(5) Demothi 20/1, Maiden Irish pointer. Poor form over hurdles. Quickly switched to chasing and handicapping off stiff-looking mark.
9
|PU| (9) (7/1 +22%) Priory Wood
7
7/1(+22%)
(9) Priory Wood 7/1, Some promise over hurdles and ex-pointer could do better now handicap chasing with professional back in the saddle and blinkers on. Interesting.
10
|PU| (10) (20/1 +50%) Bees And Honey
20
20/1(+50%)
(10) Bees And Honey 20/1, No show over hurdles, including in handicaps (tongue tied on latest start). Big step forward needed now chasing. Cheekpieces go on.
LTO Selection:
14:14 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Holerday Ridge 80/1, Fair bumper winner but he's yet to match that form in 3 outings in this sphere, pulling up last twice. Plenty to prove at present.
8
2nd (8) (1.1/1 -33%) Light Em Up Nigel
1.1
1.1/1(-33%)
(8) Light Em Up Nigel 1.1/1, Promising sort. 20/1, much improved when second of 9 in maiden hurdle at Exeter (17f, heavy) 36 days ago. Hard to beat with a repeat.
5
3rd (5) (40/1 +50%) Herecomeshogan
40
40/1(+50%)
(5) Herecomeshogan 40/1, Poor form. 66/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Southwell (2m, good to soft) 26 days ago, tailing off end of back straight.
10
4th (10) (25/1 -39%) The Big Red One
25
25/1(-39%)
(10) The Big Red One 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Wincanton (2m, good) 26 days ago. Back up in trip.
11
5th (11) (6.5/1 +35%) Zucayan
6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(11) Zucayan 6.5/1, Modest hurdler. 8/1, creditable third of 10 in novice at Ludlow (2m, heavy) 44 days ago.
3
6th (3) (28/1 -40%) Dom Bosco
28
28/1(-40%)
(3) Dom Bosco 28/1, Showed a bit in his 2 bumpers but pulled up on Exeter hurdle debut in February.
2
7th (2) (125/1 +17%) Crafty
125
125/1(+17%)
(2) Crafty 125/1, 50/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Exeter (21.5f, soft) on debut 25 days ago.
12
8th (12) (150/1 -50%) Freddie Fleetfoot
150
150/1(-50%)
(12) Freddie Fleetfoot 150/1, Made the frame second of 2 starts in point bumpers (Mar 19). Betting should help guide to expectations on Rules debut.
7
9th (7) (28/1 -56%) Kingsand Bay
28
28/1(-56%)
(7) Kingsand Bay 28/1, No show in a bumper and maiden hurdle for Nicky Henderson this year but still early days and his new yard has had an excellent season. Hooded first time.
1
|F| (1) (40/1 -21%) Ardenay
40
40/1(-21%)
(1) Ardenay 40/1, Well held in 2 Exeter bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles.
4
|U| (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Extraordinary Man
3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(4) Extraordinary Man 3.33/1, Fair hurdler. 7/4, bit below form fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, soft) 31 days ago, once again not seeing his race out. Should be thereabouts but vulnerable to anything with potential.
9
|RO| (9) (4/1 +0%) San Giovanni
4
4/1(+0%)
(9) San Giovanni 4/1, Made sound start over hurdles for new yard when 9 lengths third of 18 at Wincanton on return. Has gone backwards from that twice since (remote third latest) but this race lacks depth and he should figure.
LTO Selection:
14:49 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Cobra Commander 4/1, Looked better than ever when finally opening his account in a 23f Taunton handicap chase recently. Will be a danger to all if in a similar mood here, despite going up 9 lb.
5
2nd (5) (1.88/1 +44%) Motown Lake
1.88
1.88/1(+44%)
(5) Motown Lake 1.88/1, Responded well to the addition of cheekpieces when making it second time lucky over fences at Uttoxeter (3m). Fair fourth off this revised mark next time and he should be in the mix.
4
3rd (4) (4/1 -14%) Le Tueur
4
4/1(-14%)
(4) Le Tueur 4/1, Hurdles winner who has found his feet over fences the last twice, runner-up in handicaps at Plumpton and Hexham. Still, needs something extra in order to go one better here.
7
4th (7) (14/1 +13%) Dont Be Robin
14
14/1(+13%)
(7) Dont Be Robin 14/1, Scored off this mark at Plumpton in November, but typically in-and-out since and others make more appeal on balance.
3
5th (3) (7/1 +0%) Kingsmill Gin
7
7/1(+0%)
(3) Kingsmill Gin 7/1, Showed improved form to shed her maiden tag over a similar trip at Taunton in December. Not disgraced both subsequent starts at Chepstow and she's one to consider.
1
6th (1) (14/1 -17%) Summit Like Herbie
14
14/1(-17%)
(1) Summit Like Herbie 14/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when scoring at Doncaster in November, but has failed to complete the last twice and he's hardly a reliable proposition.
9
|U| (9) (12/1 +45%) Hartland Quay
12
12/1(+45%)
(9) Hartland Quay 12/1, Couple of decent efforts to his name over hurdles, but latest display in a seller at Exeter was uninspiring and he was pulled up on debut in this sphere at Chepstow last month. Tongue strap applied.
2
|PU| (2) (12/1 +25%) Good Man Vinnie
12
12/1(+25%)
(2) Good Man Vinnie 12/1, Appeared to return to form when second in a five-runner Uttoxeter handicap in November, but no impact in three subsequent starts and it's best to look elsewhere.
LTO Selection:
15:24 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(10) Mind Hunter 16/1, Maiden. Fair form on Flat for Richard Hannon. Only modest over hurdles for this yard and needs to pull out a bit more.
4
2nd (4) (4.5/1 -64%) Lady Reset
4.5
4.5/1(-64%)
(4) Lady Reset 4.5/1, Likeable mare in fine form when last seen in September, following up another Flat win in 2m Warwick novices' handicap hurdle. Returns with yard flying and lots to like.
1
3rd (1) (12/1 -60%) Ragamuffin
12
12/1(-60%)
(1) Ragamuffin 12/1, Ran well in hat-trick bid at Worcester when last seen and C&D winner could be set for another profitable spring/summer if all is set fair.
6
4th (6) (2/1 +27%) Gaot
2
2/1(+27%)
(6) Gaot 2/1, French bumper winner who has been going well over hurdles but is proving a bit expensive to follow, placed twice again before unseating 2 out when still in front at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago. Same mark here.
8
5th (8) (3.33/1 +45%) Imperial Joe
3.33
3.33/1(+45%)
(8) Imperial Joe 3.33/1, Opened his account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter over this trip last month, but poor over further here 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
9
6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Presgrave
66
66/1(-100%)
(9) Presgrave 66/1, Fair form at up to 11f on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. Showed a bit more in C&D handicap hurdle when last seen in June and could pick up a race this time around.
3
7th (3) (22/1 -38%) Triple Nickle
22
22/1(-38%)
(3) Triple Nickle 22/1, Another fair dual-purpose performer for yard. Looked rusty after 5 months off back in this sphere at Ffos Las recently and she's worth a look down 3 lb.
12
8th (12) (25/1 +38%) Lady Wolf
25
25/1(+38%)
(12) Lady Wolf 25/1, Modest Flat winner but yet to score over timber, looking none too keen in blinkers at Chepstow when last seen in October.
7
9th (7) (18/1 +18%) Al Kherb
18
18/1(+18%)
(7) Al Kherb 18/1, Signed off for John Quinn with 2m Stratford selling win in October. Claims on February Bangor fourth under rider.
2
10th (2) (5/1 +23%) Kalyptra
5
5/1(+23%)
(2) Kalyptra 5/1, Fair maiden who fell in 15f handicap hurdle at Wincanton when last seen in December. New trainer reaches for a tongue strap. Got a fair bit of ability and interesting to see how he goes in the betting.
11
11th (11) (66/1 -100%) Shielded
66
66/1(-100%)
(11) Shielded 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Simon & Ed Crisford. No show in juvenile/novice hurdles and work to do now handicapping.
LTO Selection:
15:59 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Cogital 12/1, Hurdles winner at Ffos Las in October 2020. Since added a couple of Flat wins to his tally but not so good under both codes last 3 starts.
8
2nd (8) (7.5/1 -50%) Ascot Day
7.5
7.5/1(-50%)
(8) Ascot Day 7.5/1, Fair Flat winner last summer who fared better than of late from a falling mark at Taunton last week, chasing home one who completed hat-trick at Exeter on Thursday. Good shout if backing that up.
3
3rd (3) (6.5/1 +0%) Balleticon
6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(3) Balleticon 6.5/1, Maiden hurdle winner tumbling in the weights and he's showing a lot more of late. Cheekpieces go on and worth considering for all he shapes as if he'll stay further.
2
4th (2) (3/1 +45%) Ladykiller
3
3/1(+45%)
(2) Ladykiller 3/1, Smart on the Flat in Germany, including listed/Group 3 wins in 2019. Not really got going over hurdles this season but his mark is dipping all the time.
7
5th (7) (11/1 -83%) Tarseem
11
11/1(-83%)
(7) Tarseem 11/1, Modest form over hurdles for Dan Skelton over 2m this term. Hood goes on starting out for new yard who have enjoyed a tremendous campaign. Worth a look.
6
6th (6) (5/1 -25%) Folly Gate
5
5/1(-25%)
(6) Folly Gate 5/1, Without a win but several creditable efforts this season in both spheres, yet to be asked for effort when hampered and unseated rider 2 out in novice handicap chase at Wincanton 4 weeks ago. Same mark back over hurdles here.
5
7th (5) (5/1 +33%) Noble Savage
5
5/1(+33%)
(5) Noble Savage 5/1, Some good efforts in handicap hurdles this season but probably only averagely treated as it stands and he looks like a chaser.
9
8th (9) (33/1 +18%) Canal Rocks
33
33/1(+18%)
(9) Canal Rocks 33/1, Fairly useful at best on Flat but has lost his way, making a low-key start over hurdles, well held again on handicap debut at Taunton last week. Plenty to find.
4
9th (4) (8/1 -45%) Chadlington Lad
8
8/1(-45%)
(4) Chadlington Lad 8/1, Good runs in 2m juvenile hurdles the last twice and while that hasn't done him any favours from a handicapping perspective he probably has races in him in this sphere. Tongue tie goes on.
10
10th (10) (25/1 +24%) Mcgregors Charge
25
25/1(+24%)
(10) Mcgregors Charge 25/1, Seemed to show a bit when third at Hexham (2m) on debut last summer but has failed to build on that since, including in handicaps back from 4 months off recently.

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.
