13:50 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

An impressive winner over C&D last week, BASFORD looks to have a gilt-edged opportunity to follow up in this small field. The form of the Jennie Candlish stable is another plus and he should have too much for Sylvies Dance, who returns from long absence under Rules for a new yard and may well improve on whatever she shows. Afta Party can pick up the pieces if either of the aforementioned pair falter.

Another good opportunity for BASFORD, who can follow-up last week's C&D win under a penalty. Sylvies Dance has presumably had her share of issues but a recent second between the flags will hopefully put her spot on this, and she looks the main threat.

Although not impressive in last week's win, BASFORD can follow up.

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

Denied by the narrowest of margins at Ffos Las last time out, JUST THE MAN can gain compensation here. The son of Rajsaman is narrowly preferred to the recent Warwick runner-up Coolnaugh Haze and Dancila, who could be well treated off a mark of 120 on his handicap debut. Stablemate Valentino Dancer is a player based on the pick of his form as well.

A useful winner on the Flat, DANCILA made an impressive start over hurdles when successful at Musselburgh in February and was left with too much to do when third at Huntingdon on his latest outing. He can resume winning ways on his handicap debut, with Just The Man feared most after he was only narrowly denied last time. Coolnaugh Haze also merits consideration.

It may pay to trust that VALENTINO DANCER can return from an absence with a win.

15:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

A winner at a big price over C&D last time out, SHORTCROSS STORM can prove that was no fluke by going in again off a 3lb higher mark. The eight-year-old is still well below a career-high mark of 106 over fences and he could have too much for Hurricane Vichi, who is interesting on his chase debut. A winner at Exeter on his penultimate start, Investment Manager is entitled to be thereabouts as well.

HURRICANE VICHI went very close off this mark over hurdles earlier in the year and should make a chaser (runner-up sole start in Irish points), so could be the answer with Harry Cobden taking over. Recent C&D winner Shortcross Storm is the obvious threat, especially if allowed the run of things again.

Shortcross Storm could prove hard to catch again but preference is for chasing debutant HURRICANE VICHI.

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

HUNTING PERCIVAL belied odds of 80-1 to finish second here a week week ago and the son of Sir Percy can go one better as he remains well treated judged on past exploits. Energy Two showed plenty across her qualifying runs and must be of interest, hooded for the first time ahead of her handicap bow, while Buxted Too is another to consider.

BUXTED TOO took a step in the right direction last time and he's potentially thrown in based on Flat form, so he gets the nod over fellow handicap debutant Marley Head. Hunting Percival arrives on the back of a good second at this course, so he also merits consideration.

Handicap hurdle newcomer BUXTED TOO has a tempting mark, given his Flat ability.

A few with chances, so only a tentative vote can go to DANCINGONTHEEDGE. Paul Nicholls' charge was beaten a neck at Uttoxeter on her latest outing, but first-time cheekpieces could elicit the improvement required to come home in front. Saxon Queen defied a lengthy absence to fill the runner-up spot at Ffos Las on her return and she is the main danger off a 4lb raised mark. Keep an eye on Rubys Reward too.

This looks a gilt-edged opportunity for DANCINGONTHEEDGE to get off the mark over hurdles, beaten only by narrow margins on 2 of her last 3 starts and clearly still on a workable handicap mark. The danger could be Rubys Reward, who will be suited by this stamina test and can take another step back in the right direction.

This may well be the chance for DANCINGONTHEEDGE to gain a first hurdle success.

CHIEF BLACK ROBE has been a facile winner on both occasions since switching to the Fergal O'Brien stable and a hat-trick could be on the cards, despite racing off a 12lb higher mark than his C&D triumph seven days ago. Balko Saint arrives in fair form having finished runner-up on his last two appearances and is the chief threat, while connections of Umndeni reach for first-time blinkers and he's dangerous to dismiss off a tumbling mark.

CHIEF BLACK ROBE is clearly a different proposition for current connections, so Fergal O'Brien's 7-y-o is strongly fancied to bring up a quickfire hat-trick under a penalty and remain unbeaten over the larger obstacles. Balko Saint rates the obvious danger and he could be set for a fourth successive runner-up finish over fences.

It's hard to look beyond CHIEF BLACK ROBE after his two easy wins.

GREGORIAN DIAMOND posted a fair third on his bumper debut at Stratford last month and a similar level of performance may suffice in this weak affair. Palawan Du Mazet is the potential fly in the ointment on his racecourse bow and Alan Jones' gelding is worth noting in the market. Better was expected of Corporal Jackjones when ninth at Huntingdon in January and it's too soon to be writing off the four-year-old.

GREGORIAN DIAMOND represents a yard firmly amongst the winners and showed ability when third on debut in a Stratford bumper 17 days ago. Entitled to build on that, he gets the nod to come out on top, possibly at the chief expense of Corporal Jackjones. The betting should guide with debutant Palawan du Mazet.

Third in a good race at Stratford, GREGORIAN DIAMOND earns the vote.

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.
