17:15 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

PROFESSOR CALCULUS put in a solid display to make the frame over C&D earlier in the month. The five-year-old has been left on the same mark and that gives him leading claims of recording his second career success. One to watch out for is Enthused, who takes a step back down in distance and has to be respected off 1lb higher than when third as favourite at Fakenham. Urabamba completes the shortlist.

A winner on his penultimate start at Huntingdon in May, ENTHUSED again ran well when third at Fakenham 23 days ago and, with his in-form rider taking off a valuable 5 lb, he looks sure to go well again. Clearance and Professor Calculus may emerge as the chief threats.

The answer might be C&D winner CLEARANCE, who wasn't beaten far when fourth in a stronger race than this at Fontwell last month.

17:50 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

MAX OF STARS had Uncle Matthew a couple of places behind her when runner-up at Hexham and it's hard to imagine that form could be overturned, even with the latter sporting a first-time visor and a reapplied tongue tie. The chances of Ollie Pears' filly are aided further by the booking of champion jockey Brian Hughes and she should prove very tough to beat. Kilcummin is rated 57 on the Flat and could get involved on his jumping bow. David Pipe's French recruit Waitara is also very much in contention.

MAX OF STARS should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Hexham hurdles debut and can get off the mark. French-import Waitara is feared most, particularly if the market speaks in her favour, whilst Uncle Matthew is best of the rest.

After a good second at Hexham on her hurdling debut, MAX OF STARS can go one better on this easier track.

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

They didn't see which way FAROUK DE CHENEAU went at Fontwell, with the eight-year-old hosing up on his debut for Anthony Honeyball. He has been hit with an 8lb rise but considering the manner of his victory, that's unlikely to stop him from making it a double. The main danger might be recent Bangor victor Midnight Jewel, who can go well once more off 5lb higher, although Stormin Crossgales can't be ruled out.

FAROUK DE CHENEAU made an impressive winning start for this yard at Fontwell on his return last month and looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise. The prolific Midnight Jewel is a solid alternative, though Fat Sam and Kauto The King are both lurking on dangerous marks.

A competitive-looking little race can go to FAT SAM (nap), who is back on a good mark.

19:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

HERONORD returned to timber when finding only a resurgent rival too strong at Ffos Las and Evan Williams' charge could gain a career first success off only 2lb higher in what appears a weaker contest. Moonshine Spirit makes his handicap debut off a fair mark and is feared most, ahead of Sassified, who ran with more encouragement when staying on to finish third over shorter here just under a fortnight ago.

Preference is for SASSIFIED, who has dropped to a handy mark and shaped with more encouragement here earlier this month. Moonshine Spirit and Heronord rate the principal dangers.

April's third in a big field at Exeter gives HILLSIN every chance in this open race.

19:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

It may pay to stick with last-time-out winner NICKELSONTHEDIME, who is only 3lb higher than for that Warwick success and he seems to go well for today's jockey. Czech Her Out isn't the easiest to predict, but she's capable on her day and a wind procedure since a Worcester defeat could revive her chances. The returning Jersey Wonder is also of interest.

NICKELSONTHEDIME had a bit left in the tank when scoring at Warwick last time so can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of Czech Her Out who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth at Worcester last time and has had a subsequent wind op. Jersey Wonder returns from 8 months off but this reliable sort still can't be dismissed off a handy-looking mark.

Given a chance by the handicapper on today's return to hurdling, NAME IN LIGHTS could have untapped potential over this new trip.

20:05 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of BALA BROOK, who ran a highly encouraging race when second on his hurdling debut over C&D. The winner has gone in again since and Joe Tizzard's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Songo, who returns to this sphere after a decent effort on the Flat at Goodwood. Frankie Faulkner could be an interesting recruit for the Evan Williams stable.

With a creditable recent effort on the Flat at Goodwood under his belt, SONGO is taken to open his account in this sphere. The 7-y-o has hardly pulled up any trees in his 3 completed starts in this sphere but he will find few better opportunities than this and the booking of Harry Cobden adds to his appeal. Dual point winner Frankie Faulkner makes his hurdles debut at a realistic level and is feared most ahead of Bala Brook.

Altough not bombproof, SONGO is much the most talented of this field.

20:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

JUNIOR MASSINI has been a revelation since joining the Sheila Lewis stable and going over fences, backing up a Warwick victory at Bangor, and the hat-trick looks like a distinct possibility. The step up in trip is another plus and he is preferred to Loved Out, who has performed well over the smaller obstacles of late and is having his first start in this sphere. Seymour Promise is another to watch out for.

Though a winner of just one of his 19 hurdles starts, LOVED OUT has proven to be largely consistent in that sphere and may well be equal to this task, provided of course that he makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. Junior Massini is probably not one to lump on at what will likely be a skinny price but is the obvious danger.

With the other three having something to prove, JUNIOR MASSINI can complete the hat-trick.

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.
