13:55 Newton Abbot Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Carrigeen Kampala shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking over hurdles when romping home at Stratford last month, but life will be tougher here now saddled with a 7lb penalty in what looks a deeper contest. Therefore, a chance is taken on MAIRIS ICON. Seamus Mullins' filly posted her best effort to date with a third-placed finish over C&D a fortnight ago and a similar level of performance may suffice, with last-time-out runner-up Ede'iffs Rock another worthy alternative.

CARRIGEEN KAMPALA won well at Stratford and has been found another good opportunity under a penalty back at the scene of her bumper victory. Scarlett Clipper starts out in a very winnable contest and is one to note. There are races in Mairis Icon also.

Course bumper winner CARRIGEEN KAMPALA won in good style over hurdles at Stratford last month and may well be able to defy a penalty.

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

BALLINSKER proved a different proposition when making all over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow last month and the eight-year-old could have enough improvement in him over this longer distance to shrug off a 4lb rise. Trevada arrives in good form and can't be discounted, but he will need to settle better to see this stiffer test out, so a bigger threat may emerge from Forgot To Ask, who is now 5lb lower than his Stratford success last May.

TREVADA made a promising chase debut when second at Plumpton and is taken to go one better with this stiffer test likely to suit. The in-form Ballinsker is the obvious threat.

Top of the list is BALLINSKER, who made all when beating a clear second at Chepstow last month and a 4lb rise for that win looks fair.

BASFORD has proved expensive to follow, but he won't find many easier opportunities than what he has faced with here and Jennie Candlish's mount is hard to oppose. Hurdling debutant Bala Brook is stoutly bred and should appreciate this longer distance. The son of Getaway may prove to be the sternest rival, ahead of two-time point-to-point winner Great Schema, who should find this easier than his hurdling debut at Taunton in late-December.

While BASFORD's string of runner-up efforts raise doubts about him being one to be taking very short odds about it's very hard to find an alternative to him in this line-up. If there is one that might shake him up it's probably Joe Tizzard's Bala Brook, who showed a bit of promise on the first of 2 bumper starts at the end of 2022.

The versatile 6yo BASFORD is the standout contender in this weak race and should have no trouble cashing in on a golden opportunity.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

An emphatic winner over 3m at Market Rasen earlier this month, the vote goes to CHIEF BLACK ROBE. Fergal O'Brien's seven-year-old has to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, but that looks unlikely to stop him following up from a 27-length success during the aforementioned run. Imprevu Du Large makes his chasing debut for powerful connections and is feared most, while Swapped is another reverting to bigger obstacles and completes the shortlist.

CHIEF BLACK ROBE showed much-improved form when making a winning yard/chase debut at Market Rasen 9 days ago, cruising clear up the home straight. Wisely turned out under a penalty, a repeat should see him tough to beat. Chase debutants Imprevu du Large and Swapped both represent powerful stables and may emerge as the lead threats.

This can go to CHIEF BLACK ROBE, who won by 27l on his chase/stable debut last week and looks very well treated under a penalty.

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

An emphatic winner over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time out, SHERBORNE appears the one to beat, despite this being a stronger contest. Freddie Gingell negates most of the gelding's 10lb rise for that success, with his 7lb claim, and the seven-year-old should not be dismissed with that fact in mind. Loved Out was only narrowly denied at Ffos Las on Saturday and commands respect, while Kapitaliste finished a distant second at Worcester earlier this month and is another to consider.

The combination of a breathing operation/first-time tongue tie worked wonders for SHERBORNE when he sauntered to victory at Ffos Las just over 3 weeks ago and Joe Tizzard's charge is fancied to go in again partnered by a conditional for the first time. Maroochi was in good form prior to a couple of tumbles late last year so she's put forward as the main threat on reappearance, ahead of Kapitaliste.

It's hard to get away from SHERBORNE (nap), who turned things around after wind surgery with an easy win at Ffos Las three weeks ago.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ESPOIR DE TEILLEE was always in control when scoring comfortably at Kempton last time out and a third win in four starts looks like a distinct possibility for the 11-year-old. He can get the better of Diligent, who is well capable on his day, but has not shown much since joining new connections, and No Getaway, another who has joined a new stable this year.

ESPOIR DE TEILLEE is prone to the odd bad mistake and conceding 8 lb to Diligent is no formality but he's still expected to go in again.

This can go to useful five-time chase winner ESPOIR DE TEILLEE, who has made all in hunter chases in two of his last three runs.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

This looks like an ideal opportunity for CHARLIE MY BOY to get off the mark, having been runner-up on both starts since joining the Keiran Burke stable. He gets the vote ahead of Imperial Measure, following a pair of placed efforts, and Ballygoe, who looked to be holding every chance when falling two out at Exeter in March. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Hill Station and Shalott.

TESTFLIGHT is still relatively unexposed and shaped really well on his return at Exeter last month. He makes plenty of appeal. Charlie My Boy and Imperial Measure rate the principal dangers.

Several have possibilities but recent Fontwell runner-up CHARLIE MY BOY gets the vote ahead of Imperial Measue and Ballygoe.

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.

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.
