14:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Shinji appeared to benefit from making most of the running when getting off the mark over hurdles at Southwell a fortnight ago. The 7lb rise has been negated by Freddie Keighley's allowance, but a chance is still taken with BAHTIYAR. Dan Skelton's gelding went close off the same mark at Stratford last August and it may well be the right time to catch him fresh. Saddlers Quest's recent fourth here makes her of interest, while Karakoy is another who could enter the reckoning.

SHINJI justified good support at Southwell a fortnight ago, a positive ride helping to make his mind up, while he overcame a brief scare late on. He's taken to follow up. The returning Bahtiyar and Saddlers Quest are dangerous.

The sharp track should play to the strengths of BAHTIYAR on his first run of the year and he earns the vote.

Unleash Hell

100
100/1(-1900%)
(7) Unleash Hell 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1½m), went off too hard last time. Yard did well with Gifted Angel in 3-y-o hurdles last season so he's one to note.

14:30 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Ben Pauling enjoyed a fine 2023/24 season and the Gloucestershire handler saddles an interesting American recruit in the shape of MILL STREET. A sound surface may prove key to him, having raced exclusively on firm ground, and connections could try to take advantage during the summer months. Unleash Hell showed consistent form on the level and is a rare runner in this sphere for Tom Dascombe, while Golden Path and Enzo Maresca are others to note.

MILL STREET has a rather unorthodox profile for a juvenile hurdler, having raced 4 times on quick ground in the US, but he's joined a good yard and is one of the more appealing ones. The betting should be revealing, with Golden Path and Unleash Hell also of interest.

There's lots of guesswork involved here but UNLEASH HELL was at least mostly consistent on the Flat and he should stay the trip okay.

(6) Eileen's Milan 66/1, In good hands but a well-beaten fourth of 9 to Huelgoat in novice hurdle at this C&D (good, 6/1) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

300
300/1(-2400%)
(3) All Night Parking 300/1, Sholokhov gelding. Dam fairly useful hurdle/chase winner around 2m. Winning pointer (latest May 4) so he's much respected on his hurdling bow.

Did Ja Ever

100
100/1(-100%)
(10) Did Ja Ever 100/1, £5,000 5-y-o. Dam, fair bumper winner, is a sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Burtons Well and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 29f) Burton Port. A winning pointer so not discounted now hurdling.
A maiden point winner in May but that form isn't strong; others appeal more..

Point winner but he looks up against it on hurdle debut..

15:00 Newton Abbot Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

RAMENSKY benefited from stepping up in trip at Hereford on his second outing over timber when scoring by 10 lengths and the manner of victory suggested further improvement would be forthcoming. Huelgoat faces a tougher task than his C&D success earlier in the month but he is one for the shortlist. Cindysox also won here last time and her pedigree suggests she is likely to appreciate the extra distance.

HUELGOAT holds much the best form on offer so is fancied to follow up his recent C&D success and concede weight all round in a novice where a few arrive with question marks against them. Hereford-winner Ramensky appeals as the one to give Paul Nicholls' 7-y-o most to do ahead of hurdling-newcomers All Night Parking and Cuzzicombe.

There was plenty to like about the way in which RAMENSKY won at Hereford and he can follow up with Huelgoat a clear second choice.

He sprung back into life when second of 14 at Southwell; longer trip here looks a plus.

Looks to have responded well to a wind operation and he won comfortably at Fontwell.

Good third after a break at Hereford and that run may have tightened him up.

Underwhelming since his Plumpton win but cheekpieces are now called upon; they may help.

Competitive mark but this is his first run since last July so probably best watched.

Narrowly beaten last time when also 6lb out of the weights; this does look a deeper race.

C&D winner last summer but just one run since and was below par; others safer.

15:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Belgarum justified strong support in the market when opening his account in some style at Fontwell. However, an 11lb rise may be enough to prevent him from supplementing that victory and BEN BUIE edges the vote. The Martin Keighley-trained 10-year-old was far from disgraced on his reappearance, when third over an inadequate 2m at Hereford, and a return to his last winning distance may help him to get his head back in front. American Gerry and Harlem Soul are also noted.

AMERICAN GERRY was a fair winner in the spring and looks the way to go here given he can race off the same mark as when a clear C&D second last time out. Icare Grandchamp appeals as the main danger to Hughie Morrison's 8-y-o on the back of his good Southwell second. Fontwell-victor Belgarum and the consistent Magic Dancer can both have a say too.

The Joe Tizzard-trained BELGARUM (nap) looks a better horse for having had wind surgery and he fairly bolted up at Fontwell.

100
100/1(-300%)
(7) Bob O Rhino 100/1, Winning Irish pointer but well held in bumper/completed starts over hurdles. Now handicapping after a break, so not without hope if the market speaks in her favour.
Hasn't looked straightforward and will need to settle better on handicap debut.

On The Nose

33
33/1(-175%)
(5) On The Nose 33/1, Poor handicapper on Flat. First form (modest) over hurdles when second in a novice at Fontwell a month ago. Needs to take another step forward.
Debatable what she achieved behind a 1-9f when a 66-1 second in a Fontwell maiden.
13
7th (13) Queen Of Steel (25/1 -614%)
Queen Of Steel

25
25/1(-614%)
(13) Queen Of Steel 25/1, Maiden on the Flat and whilst also winless in this sphere, she arrives in good order after a creditable third at Stratford 24 days ago. Not without hope.
Usually runs well, as was the case when a beaten favourite at Stratford latest.

Gorcombe Moonshine

66/1(-1367%)
(12) Gorcombe Moonshine 66/1, Several placed efforts in this sphere before making a winning chase debut at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Jumping became an issue over fences but he's reached the frame back hurdling on his last three starts.
Winning chaser who has been on the scene over hurdles of late.

Coin Basket

66
66/1(-450%)
(1) Coin Basket 66/1, Bumper winner whose form over hurdles to date has been in and out. Step back up in trip promises to suit, though, and she remains with the scope to do better in this sphere.
Low-mileage 7yo; never figured at all on handicap debut at Uttoxeter.

Hallowed Rose

50

(4) Hallowed Rose 50/1, Failed to win in points and no real impact over hurdles. Cheekpieces back on for handicap debut and worth a market check.
Between between 13l and 28l in her three qualifying runs and now makes handicap debut.
14
|PU| (14) Ravanelli (66/1 -450%)
Ravanelli

66
66/1(-450%)
(14) Ravanelli 66/1, Hinted at ability in a bumper and showed more than previously over hurdles at Southwell last time, albeit still well down the field. Cheekpieces are fitted for handicap debut and market support would look significant.
Tailed off in three hurdles since showing some ability in a bumper; handicap debut.
10
|PU| (10) Bala Brook (100/1 -614%)
Bala Brook

100
100/1(-614%)
(10) Bala Brook 100/1, Modest in bumpers and similar form when runner-up first 2 starts over hurdles. Looked back on track prior to falling at Wincanton 3 months ago, so claims if he's none the worse for that.
Soft ground perhaps not ideal last time and that was on the back of a wind op.

16:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Although thwarted in his hat-trick bid when runner-up over C&D, OUR DYLAN lost little in defeat behind a subsequent winner. Kayley Woollacott's charge was just over nine lengths ahead of the third that day and he could make light work of a 3lb rise. Taunton second Summerleaze arrives on the back of her best effort to date and she is feared most, ahead of Queen Of Steel.

OUR DYLAN is in a rich vein of form and still well treated on past efforts, so he gets the nod over Get The Value, who looks open to improvement switched to handicaps. Summerleaze ran creditably at Taunton a couple of months ago, so she's also considered dropping in trip.

The 8yo OUR DYLAN is getting high in the weights but he was a clear second here last time and again looks sure to be involved.

Townhill

2.5
5/2(+29%)
(6) Townhill 5/2, Point winner who has steadily found his feet over hurdles, winning 2 of his 3 starts since upped to 3m+. Fortune was on his side at Plumpton (25f, good) on latest start in April (left clear 2 out) but he's broadly progressive and should have a significant role to play up 6 lb here.
2-3 since the cheekpieces were added, still progressing and worth considering up in class..

Sea The Clouds

20
20/1(-233%)
(2) Sea The Clouds 20/1, Landed back-to-back handicap hurdles at Worcester/Warwick last summer without looking entirely straightforward. Left disappointing reappearance display behind when chasing home stablemate Kitesurfer at Fontwell (25.8f, good to firm) recently but more needed if he's to go one better here.
Back to near best on this month's reappearance; player off the same mark..

3rd (4) Mr Yeats (6/1 +33%)
Mr Yeats

6
6/1(+33%)
(4) Mr Yeats 6/1, Back-to-back C&D scorer in September 2022 and, though winless since, he has posted more good efforts than bad ones overall. Only 2 lengths adrift of Lallygag at Worcester (23f, good to soft) last time and moving back up in trip will be in his favour, so he's one to consider.
Two-time C&D winner; on a competitive mark and considered after a promising effort latest..

Valentino

33/1(-32%)
(5) Valentino 33/1, Good record at this venue but he was beaten a fair way following 10 months off back here in September and is opposable following a further 9-month absence. Blinkers applied.
Has something to prove back from another break with blinkers now reached for..
7
5th (7) Pink Eyed Pedro (66/1 -450%)
Pink Eyed Pedro

66
66/1(-450%)
(7) Pink Eyed Pedro 66/1, Fairly useful handicap chaser who ended a long losing run after a year off in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell last June. Latest Rules start was in October but easily made all in a match between the flags in April, which will have blown away the cobwebs, and this veteran is not discounted.
Won a handicap hurdle off 3lb lower in June last year; won a point this April; respected.

Mr Tambourine Man

100/1(-4344%)
(3) Mr Tambourine Man 100/1, Endured woeful 2023/24 campaign but firmly back on track of late, runner-up at Ffos Las mid-May prior to landing 23f handicaps at Worcester and Uttoxeter on good to soft/soft this month. There'll be a question mark surrounding him if the word 'firm' appears in the going description.
On a hat-trick; has to defy a 9lb rise for his most recent win but has a good chance..

(1) Lallygag 3/1, Down the weights following a series of below par efforts and back on track the last twice, placed in handicaps at Warwick (21f) and Worcester (23f). Shapes as though this stamina test will be right up his street and bold show likely.
Back to form in the recently fitted tongue-tie; up again in trip but high on the list..

16:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

The combination of a drop in grade and step up in trip off a 1lb lower rating could possibly prove key to LALLYGAG regaining the winning thread. Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old posted a creditable effort when runner-up at Worcester 12 days ago, and a repeat showing should see him hard to beat. In search of a three-timer, Mr Tambourine Man must be given the utmost respect and may emerge as the chief threat. Dual C&D winner Mr Yeats is also noted, having finished only two lengths behind the selection when third last time out.

This stamina test promises to suit LALLYGAG, who was no match for the resurgent Bucko's Boy at Worcester recently but that was a solid effort nonetheless and, down another 2 lb, he's lurking on an attractive mark. Mr Yeats wasn't far behind the selection in third in the same race and he will be a threat back up in trip here, while Townhill may well have more to offer as a stayer and is also feared.

Mr Tambourine Man is feared most in a competitive heat but marginal preference is for SEA THE CLOUDS after a pleasing return.

5/1(+9%)
(8) Hold Your Fort 5/1, Little form over hurdles in 2022 for Tracey Barfoot-Saunt and while he struck twice between the flags last year, his chase debut fourth here (21f, soft) last month will need improving upon if he's to play a leading role in this contest.
Disappointed on chase debut (soft) but better can be expected back on good ground..

(11) Emberscombe 100/1, Down the field in a bumper/trio of novice hurdles. On the upside, she was successful at the second attempt in points last month but it remains to be seen if she will be able to continue the good work back under Rules. Chase debut.
Has enough to prove back under rules on chase debut.

French hurdle winner in 2019 but has a lengthy absence to overcome on stable debut..

Guivinec

100
100/1(-2903%)
(7) Guivinec 100/1, Irish point winner who made a low-key start in bumpers/over hurdles but immediate improvement tackling fences on last 2 starts, latterly coming home third in a 9-runner Fontwell handicap (19.5f, good). Since undergone a wind op and this step up in trip could be just what he needs.
2m4f point winner; two placed efforts since sent chasing; has now had wind surgery.

Robinsville

100/1(-5614%)
(4) Robinsville 100/1, No great shakes as a hurdler but he has shown an aptitude for this game the last twice, placed in handicaps at Stratford and over this C&D (good). This 7-y-o has to be high on the shortlist.
Has run well both starts over fences; one of the more likely ones in a winnable affair..

Ballinoulart

(6) Ballinoulart 100/1, Remains a maiden but more good efforts than bad ones since switched to fences, finishing a creditable fourth of 14 on latest start at Worcester (23f, good to soft). Visored for the first time there and cheekpieces back on here. Likely to be on the premises.
0-8 over fences but frequently placed and looks sure to be involved in a weak race..

Needs to show significant improvement on chase debut having been given wind surgery..

2022 maiden point winner, pulled up latest; makes chase/handicap debut with bit to prove..

17:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Jamie Snowden and Gavin Sheehan have been among the winners in the last couple of weeks, and they team up with handicap/chase debutant SCALLOWAY CASTLE. This six-year-old changed hands in May after disappointing in three outings for former connections, but might have more to offer in this sphere. An opening figure of 85 could prove exploitable in a race that may not take a lot of winning. Anthony Honeyball does well here so Guivinec warrants consideration stepping up in trip, having twice made the frame at Fontwell in recent months. Top-weight Ayepaddy completes the shortlist.

With improvement anticipated now faced with a stiffer test, GUIVINEC looks the way to go. Robinsville is also bidding to make it third time lucky over fences and he is second choice ahead of Ballinoulart.

Joe Tizzard's ROBINSVILLE boasts some of the strongest form and can open his account, with Guivinec feared most up in distance.

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.
