The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Investment Manager 6/4, Enjoyed a productive spell over fences here last summer and added to his strong record there when making all on his reappearance in May. Not in the same form at Uttoxeter a month later and this his first hurdles start since 2022. Four-time course winner over fences (once on soft); big player off his lower hurdle mark.
2
2nd (2) (85/40 +100%) Paddy De Pole
2.125
85/40(+100%)
(2) Paddy De Pole 85/40, Lightly-raced sort who rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick in handicap hurdles at Hereford (19.7f) in May. Made the frame on each of his last 3 starts at up to 25.8f and he's been found a race lacking depth. Won three in a row in the spring and is still in good form; slow ground is a worry today.
3
3rd (3) (15/8 +17%) Mr Yeats
1.875
15/8(+17%)
(3) Mr Yeats 15/8, C&D winner but losing run dates back to 2022. Hard to knock his consistency, though, posting another sound effort over C&D in July and this could be a good opening for him. Dual C&D winner; in good form for new stable this season and seems versatile ground-wise.
14:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Joe Tizzard sends INVESTMENT MANAGER back over hurdles for the first time since January 2022, and he may have been found a suitable opportunity. Seventh over fences at Uttoxeter last time out, he drops in class here and may make every post a winning one in a small field he could dominate. Paddy De Pole is an obvious danger in recept of 4lb but he has been found out off this sort of mark and may need some respite from the handicapper. Mr Yeats looks booked for third.
MR YEATS doesn't win very often but is a pretty consistent operator and as a C&D regular, this could be a good chance for him to snap his losing sequence. Paddy de Pole has to prove his stamina for this far but it's unlikely to be a thorough test and he's an obvious danger.
He's much better known as a chaser but INVESTMENT MANAGER looks the one best equipped to cope with the slow ground.
(3) Beat Box 1/2, Ended his time for James Ewart out of sorts but went 2-2 for his new handler with a career best in 6-runner handicap chase over C&D 9 days ago. Holds leading claims. 2-2 for new stable last month, the latter win gained over C&D; versatile ground-wise.
2
2nd (2) (5/2 +0%) Magistrato
2.5
5/2(+0%)
(2) Magistrato 5/2, Largely consistent following a switch from Paul Nicolls last spring and made all over C&D in July. Solid third of 9 in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 21 days ago so must enter calculations eased 1 lb. Placed at Worcester since C&D win in July but today's slower ground is the glaring issue.
1
3rd (1) (17/2 -55%) Top Speed
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(1) Top Speed 17/2, A fairly useful winning 2m hurdler at his best for Henry De Bromhead. Well below par reverted to fences on both starts for his new yard this summer though. Needs to take a big step forward. Ran better than bare form suggests when 20l third last time; drops back in trip here.
14:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A poor turnout of just the three runners, but that won't bother the Skeltons who send BEAT BOX looking for his hat-trick after wins at Market Rasen and then over this C&D recently. He has won on soft ground before so going, track and trip are all boxes ticked, making him the one to beat. Magistrato is certainly capable if he takes to the softer ground, and he may get the better of Top Speed in the race for second.
Hat-trick seeking BEAT BOX is much improved since joining Dan Skelton and hard to oppose on the back of his recent C&D success. Fellow C&D scorer Magistrato can chase him home ahead of Top Speed.
Revitalised since joining Dan Skelton this summer, BEAT BOX has an excellent chance to complete a quick hat-trick.
(6) Firefly Lane 16/1, Winning pointer who was runner-up in back-to-back mares' handicap chases off similar marks during the spring. Not at her best back from a 3-month break last time, though, and she's 0-14 under Rules. Second twice on soft ground in the spring; didn't fire over C&D in July, after a break.
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +60%) Coconut Twist
2
2/1(+60%)
(2) Coconut Twist 2/1, Point winner at the start of the year and made a successful chase/yard debut when returning from a break over this C&D in May. Didn't do much wrong when third off this mark at Worcester last time and he has to enter calculations. Scored over C&D (soft) on chasing debut in May and returns here after good run in July.
1
3rd (1) (11/4 +0%) Dancingontheedge
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(1) Dancingontheedge 11/4, Belatedly opened hurdles account on second run following a wind op here (21.5f, good to soft) in July. Has made the frame both subsequent starts in that sphere and she'll be a threat if her jumping passes the test now switched to fences. Twice in the frame since wide-margin hurdle win here in July; makes chasing debut today.
4
4th (4) (25/1 -108%) Layerthorpe
25
25/1(-108%)
(4) Layerthorpe 25/1, Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles back in 2019 and ran to a similar level when second in handicap chase at Taunton in December 2022. Seen out just 3 times since and while he was by no means disgraced when third over this C&D last time, others make more appeal. Veteran; proved he retains ability when a respectable third over C&D in July.
3
|U| (3) (9/4 +44%) Bensini
2.25
9/4(+44%)
(3) Bensini 9/4, Hurdles winner at Worcester last summer and though yet to strike in this sphere, he has been placed 4 times from 7 starts over fences. Third to a well-handicapped rival from the Skelton yard here (16.3f, good to firm) recently and he's a player back up in trip off 1 lb lower. 0-7 over fences but has posted some good efforts this summer and conditions will suit here.
5
|PU| (5) (17/2 -278%) Hey Day Baby
8.5
17/2(-278%)
(5) Hey Day Baby 17/2, Little impact over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut at Uttoxeter in June. However, this former point winner looked a different proposition when cuising home at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) last month and she has to be considered, for all that this 12 lb higher mark demands more. Burst into life with 12l win at Market Rasen last month; may progress again.
7
|PU| (7) (80/1 -60%) Sunshine Girl
80
80/1(-60%)
(7) Sunshine Girl 80/1, Showed improved form when scoring over hurdles at Southwell last summer on final start for Stuart Crawford. Now 10 lb below that winning mark but with good reason (more miss than hit since, including on chase debut last time) and hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival here. Well beaten on both stable starts, the latter her stable debut; cheekpieces tried here.
15:15 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Jockey Freddie Gingell claims 3lb riding for Paul Nicholls, which may be enough to see top-weight DANCINGONTHEEDGE get back to winning ways on her debut over fences. Her sole victory over hurdles came here in July and, if she takes to the larger obstacles, she might prove tough to beat. Coconut Twist won over this C&D on his chasing debut in May and is not one to overlook, likewise Market Rasen winner Hey Day Baby.
It may be worth siding with BENSINI, who was essentially beaten by a couple of better-handicapped rivals here nine days ago and this step back up in trip will be no bad thing. If Dancingontheedge takes to fences at the first attempt she will have a fighting chance off this mark. Coconut Twist and Hey Day Baby also merit respect.
Prominent racer BENSINI has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and might be the answer.
(2) Torrent 7/2, Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding who, having been gelded, made perfect start over hurdles in Uttoxeter juvenile in July. Just as good under a penalty at Cartmel since. Should go well again. Won on hurdle debut in July and good second on heavy ground last month.
8
2nd (8) (20/1 -25%) Scottie's Sister
20
20/1(-25%)
(8) Scottie's Sister 20/1, Poor form in 3 outings over 7f on the Flat last autumn and a similar standard over hurdles this summer, despite reaching the frame on a couple of occasions. Placed over C&D two starts ago but the form has taken some knocks.
1
3rd (1) (11/4 -10%) Final Entry
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(1) Final Entry 11/4, Made a winning start over hurdles in a C&D juvenile (good to soft) in July. Only fifth in a Ffos Las novice back on the Flat since but big player back over timber. May not be straightforward but won over C&D on hurdle debut in July; shortlisted.
6
4th (6) (9/1 +18%) Masonbrook Meadow
9
9/1(+18%)
(6) Masonbrook Meadow 9/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who has been placed in both hurdles. Likely to be competitive again. Second in modest maiden at Fontwell ten days ago; needs to improve.
4
5th (4) (11/1 +21%) Saucats
11
11/1(+21%)
(4) Saucats 11/1, Has some fair form to his name in France but pulled up in a Clairefontaine claimer when last seen in July. Jack Tudor is on the stable's other runner but the betting should provide more clues. Second in claiming hurdle in France but had poor completion record there; hard to weigh up.
7
6th (7) (150/1 -355%) Path Of Stars
150
150/1(-355%)
(7) Path Of Stars 150/1, Well beaten in a AW Flat maiden for the Crisford stable in May and suffered a similar fate on Cartmel hurdle debut a fortnight ago. Masonbrook Meadow is the more obvious of the yard's pair. Looked a handful on Flat debut and was tailed off when switched to hurdles last month.
9
7th (9) (10/3 +76%) Window Of Time
3.333333
10/3(+76%)
(9) Window Of Time 10/3, Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. Should be up to making an impact in a race like this if translating that ability to hurdles at the first attempt. Displayed clear promise on all three Irish Flat starts; has possibilities on hurdle debut.
5
|PU| (5) (12/1 -85%) Unleash Hell
12
12/1(-85%)
(5) Unleash Hell 12/1, Modest on Flat. Better effort over hurdles this summer when 8 lengths third of 8 to the reopposing Torrent at Uttoxeter (2m, good to firm) 6 weeks ago. Ran well from the front when third behind Torrent at Uttoxeter; each-way claims again.
3
|PU| (3) (40/1 -21%) Bajan New Moon
40
40/1(-21%)
(3) Bajan New Moon 40/1, Offered little in 3 Flat runs for David Evans last year. Took to hurdling when third at Hexham (2m, soft) in June but hasn't reproduced that form twice since. Ran well on hurdle debut but the form looks modest; soundly beaten twice since.
15:50 Newton Abbot Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Torrent and FINAL ENTRY both have penalties after making winning starts over hurdles and, while the former wasn't disgraced when second under similar circumstances at Cartmel last month, the latter shades preference given his scope to develop in this discipline. Having cost 180,000 euros as yearling, the selection was snapped up by these connections for just 28,000gns prior to his winning hurdling debut here in July, and there should be more to come. Masonbrook Meadow rates the pick of the rest.
FINAL ENTRY gets the nod to make it 2-2 in C&D juveniles. Fellow hurdle winner Torrent is second choice ahead of Masonbrook Meadow. Window of Time is a hurdle debutante to keep an eye on in the betting.
After launching his hurdling career with a win in July, TORRENT handled slow ground very well when second at Cartmel a fortnight ago.
(4) Ryder's Rock 5/1, Modest hurdler who has become exposed but ran respectably again when sixth here 18 days ago. This looks less competitive. 0-12 over hurdles but has posted two good efforts over 2m2f here this summer.
3
2nd (3) (13/8 +35%) Call Blue
1.625
13/8(+35%)
(3) Call Blue 13/8, Modest maiden hurdler who returned from a lengthy absence when second at Stratford 13 days ago. Backing up quite quickly here but obvious claims if she's in the same form. Ran big race in defeat last month, after a long absence; one to consider.
1
3rd (1) (3/1 -20%) Karannelle
3
3/1(-20%)
(1) Karannelle 3/1, Latest win over C&D in July. Good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good, 8/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Another big effort is on the cards. Course winner in July; needs to be produced with a well-timed challenge; ground a worry.
5
4th (5) (40/1 -100%) My Mate Polly
40
40/1(-100%)
(5) My Mate Polly 40/1, No promise in bumpers and poor form over hurdles. Not hard to look elsewhere. Seems to handle soft ground but is yet to be placed after seven hurdling starts.
2
5th (2) (5/1 -67%) Saddlers Quest
5
5/1(-67%)
(2) Saddlers Quest 5/1, Completed a hat-trick last season (including two wins over C&D) and arrives on back of respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle here 76 days ago. Mark is handy now and she should go well. Won this race last year and looked back in good form over C&D in June; likely contender.
16:25 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CALL BLUE returned from a lengthy absence with a solid effort when second at Stratford last month and could be hard to beat if building on that. Raised 3lb, the selection is still open to further progression in handicaps and offers strong appeal. Karannelle wasn't beaten far over the extended 2m2f here last month and has to be of interest, while Saddlers Quest also warrants close inspection on her first start after wind surgery.
After winning here in July, KARANELLE has shaped as if still ahead of her mark in races that didn't go her way, so she's fancied to resume winning ways dropping back in trip and grade. Saddlers Quest is likely to put up a bold showing and Call Blue can get involved if the race doesn't come too soon.
Preference is for CALL BLUE (nap), who returned from a long absence with a very creditable run in defeat at Stratford last month.
(1) Alan De Banks 11/8, Soldier of Fortune gelding who made a winning debut over C&D in June and backed it up with a solid showing when runner-up at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Obvious claims. C&D winner on debut and good second at Worcester since; serious claims.
3
2nd (3) (8/13 +51%) The Expensive One
0.615385
8/13(+51%)
(3) The Expensive One 8/13, Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One. Shaped better than the result at Newbury on debut 7 months ago, so open to improvement. Raced far too freely when sixth on Newbury debut; contests a much easier race here.
4
3rd (4) (28/1 +15%) Mon The Hoops
28
28/1(+15%)
(4) Mon The Hoops 28/1, Limited appeal ion pedigree and showed nothing at Exeter on debut 10 months ago. Hard to fancy. Always behind when 40-1 for debut at Exeter in October.
17:00 Newton Abbot NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ALAN DE BANKS faces a potentially straightforward task here. A game winner over C&D on his debut in June, the selection was heavily supported on his latest start at Worcester but greenness probably got the better of him that day. Wiser and back in familiar surroundings, compensation could await. The Expensive One edges out Mon The Hoops to be the pick of the remainder.
ALAN DE BANKS has made a solid start to his career and is taken to add another C&D success. The Expensive One should improve from his debut, so can't be dismissed.
Alan De Banks is a C&D winner but THE EXPENSIVE ONE ran well for a long way in a good-quality Newbury race on his debut.

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.
