1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +61%) Bucephalus		3.5 7/2(+61%)																															(4) Bucephalus 7/2, C&D winner who got back on track when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Can give another good account despite a 2 lb rise. Made most when second at Chepstow (2m, soft) at Christmas, which was up with his best form.
2	11 2nd (11) (7/2 -100%) Norn Iron		3.5 7/2(-100%)																															(11) Norn Iron 7/2, Showed promise in 2022/23 season for Oliver Sherwood and built on it for his new stable when second of 13 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 101 days ago. Has more to offer now going into handicaps. Off 530 days, but 11-8, when second of 13 in maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m) in October.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Lightningupourdays		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Lightningupourdays 4/1, Much improved on his handicap bow when landing 8-runner event at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Up 5 lb but still not taken lightly. Won in clearcut style on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) five weeks ago; up 5lb.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 +38%) Dancing In Brazil		5 5/1(+38%)																															(8) Dancing In Brazil 5/1, A fairly useful bumper winner and has shown similar form in this sphere, running well when all but falling 2 out at Huntingdon (2m) in April on his final run for Alan King. Interesting off a handy mark for his new yard. Won a bumper in November 2022; 0-8 since for Alan King and this doesn't look a great mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -64%) Thereisnodoubt		18 18/1(-64%)																															(6) Thereisnodoubt 18/1, Veteran returned to form when fourth at Haydock (19f, soft) last month. Considered from a falling mark. Well handicapped judged on best efforts, many of which came on heavy going; now a 12yo.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -65%) Balboa		33 33/1(-65%)																															(2) Balboa 33/1, Good second in 2m handicap at Chepstow on his return and pulled up at Fakenham last time after a bad early mistake. Sort to bounce back. Looks more exposed than some; made a bad mistake before pulling up on latest outing.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +52%) Lively Citizen		12 12/1(+52%)																															(5) Lively Citizen 12/1, Won his first race over hurdles for 2 years at Ffos Las last March. Below form both starts during the current campaign, so others more persuasive. Won on heavy in March 2024 (3lb higher today) under Harry Atkins; encouragement latest.
8th	12 8th (12) (13/2 -8%) Knight Templar		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(12) Knight Templar 13/2, Fairly useful 2m Flat winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 7-runner juvenile at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Merits consideration going into handicaps. Won at Kempton (2m, good to soft); should have more to offer on this handicap hurdle debut.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 0%) It's A Good Name		33 33/1(0%)																															(10) It's A Good Name 33/1, Fairly useful 2m1f French hurdle winner in 2022. Pulled up in 2m Stratford novice hurdle on sole run for Warren Greatrex later that year so has his fitness to prove for his new handler. Pulled up lame on sole run for Warren Greatrex and this is his first outing for 835 days.
10th	7 10th (7) (33/1 -106%) Lupus Regem		33 33/1(-106%)																															(7) Lupus Regem 33/1, A fair 2m winner in 2021. Lightly raced since but tongue strap on for 1st time when a good fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (18.9f, heavy) 25 days ago. Needs considering. Long absence before this season and second start back was a step in the right direction.

15:00 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has dropped for LIGHTNINGUPOURDAYS after a comfortable success on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter, he looks more than capable of following up off 5lb higher. A promising second at Uttoxeter on his first run in 530 days when making his debut for new connections in October, Norn Iron looks a leading contender as he makes his own handicap bow. Bucephalus and Knight Templar are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with Nigel Twiston-Davies' new recruit DANCING IN BRAZIL to capitalise on a handy mark and make a winning return. Harry Derham's lightly-raced Norn Iron looks to have better days ahead now handicapping and rates a big danger, while Bucephalus, Lightningupourdays and Knight Templar need factoring in too. Thererisnodoubt completes the shortlist.

Preference is for the two handicap newcomers at the bottom of the card, with preference for the juvenile KNIGHT TEMPLAR.

1	3 1st (3) (3.75/1 +17%) Don't Rightly Know		3.75 3.75/1(+17%)																															(3) Don't Rightly Know 3.75/1, Lightly-raced 10-y-o who was consistent rather than progressive over hurdles but this point winner took a big step forward when making a winning chase bow at Exeter on return last month, jumping superbly from the front. Not taken lightly up in class with more to come. 10l win from the front on chase debut at Exeter (3m, good to soft) but fair bit to find.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 -10%) Apple Away		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(2) Apple Away 11/4, Wide-margin winner on second start over fences last season and back on the up when successful in listed mares chase at Perth in April. Shaped as if better for the run at Kelso on return before unsuited by the emphasis on speed at Market Rasen 7 weeks ago. Worth another chance. Slightly underwhelming in her two runs this season but a slog today will suit.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -50%) Fantastic Lady		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(1) Fantastic Lady 9/2, Better than ever when landing Grade 2 Oaksey Chase at Sandown (22.8f, good) on final start last season. All the better for return when runner-up in a similar event to this at Doncaster last month and should go well again back up in trip. Experienced 10yo chaser; her peak efforts over slightly shorter set the standard.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +30%) Smiling Getaway		14 14/1(+30%)																															(5) Smiling Getaway 14/1, Winning pointer/hurdler who improved again to make a successful chasing debut at Ffos Las in October. Struggled in listed company at Warwick next time, however, and this race looks even better. First chase start was better than second; move up in trip needs to prompt big improvement.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/4 +21%) Lady Balko		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) Lady Balko 11/4, Progressive hurdler last season and has continued the upgrade switched to fences this term, completing hat-trick of handicap wins at Hereford last month, well on top finish. Should hold her own in this better company, particularly with further improvement still on the cards. Hat-trick in handicap chases; latest performance puts her in serious contention for this.

15:35 Newbury Conditions Chase (Class 1) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The Nicky Henderson stable can do little wrong at present and this appeals as a perfect opportunity for FANTASTIC LADY to regain the winning thread after a promising second over shorter at Doncaster last time out. Going back up in trip should suit, and she is preferred to the capable Apple Away and Lady Balko, who is upped in grade as she goes in search of a four-timer.

DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW has been fast tracked to listed company after proving to be an absolute natural on her first go over fences at Exeter last month and she can justify her connections' confidence. The thriving Lady Balko is feared most in what looks a competitive event despite the small field.

Apple Away's rather lacklustre show in November may hand the initiative to LADY BALKO who has been transformed over fences.

1	2 1st (2) (9/4 +44%) Keable		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(2) Keable 9/4, Very lightly raced for his age and built on previous promise in no uncertain terms when comfortably taking 11-runner handicap at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Assessor had his say ahead of this but respected nevertheless. Seemed to stay 3m two starts ago; broke the ice with 16l win at Exeter (near 2m6f, soft).
2	7 2nd (7) (15/2 -25%) Job		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(7) Job 15/2, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who found some improvement making a quick switch to handicaps/upped in trip when off the mark in 6-runner contest at Southwell (24.3f) 4 weeks ago. Feasible to think there's more to come given his unexposed profile and he's another meriting consideration. Showed stamina is a strength when he won handicap debut at Southwell (3m1f, good to soft).
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +44%) Prophesea		3.333333 10/3(+44%)																															(1) Prophesea 10/3, Point/bumper winner who has progressed with each start in this sphere, scoring with more than bare margins imply in 13-runner Wincanton novice (19.8f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Likely he can progress further now handicapping, with this longer trip expected to suit. 2m4f Wincanton win last time out; makes handicap debut and this move up in trip will help.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -150%) Phillapa Sue		25 25/1(-150%)																															(5) Phillapa Sue 25/1, Struggled on first two starts of this season but returned to form when second of 10 in a handicap hurdle (12/1) at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago, travelled smoothly and only bettered by an unexposed horse. That was a big step in the right direction and should go well again. Acts on heavy; well capable of getting seriously involved if this is one of her good days.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 +7%) James Jet		7 7/1(+7%)																															(4) James Jet 7/1, Winning pointer who showed benefit of a wind op when landing handicaps over hurdles/fences at the end of 2023. Struggled on next 3 starts but back on song when second in chase at Southwell (3m) in May (final start for Warren Greatrex). Gone well fresh before and respected for new yard after wind op. Acts on heavy; 2nd when upped to 3m1f on good in May; wind op soon after; left W Greatrex.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 +63%) Toonagh Warrior		6 6/1(+63%)																															(3) Toonagh Warrior 6/1, Won a 2m Wetherby novice last winter and similar form when placed in brace of Southwell handicaps at up to this trip with cheekpieces fitted this winter. Speed test back at 2m against him when seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Ascot 26 days ago and this rates more suitable. Back up in trip, needing career best; acts on soft, more to prove after two runs on heavy.
7th	9 7th (9) (15/2 -88%) Geturguccion		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(9) Geturguccion 15/2, Runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers and fair form in finishing runner up in pair of novice/maiden contests during second half of last year. Makes a quick switch to handicaps from a potentially lenient opening mark and she's respected up in trip. This trip for handicap debut is plausible and her latest form has been boosted.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -60%) Fontana Ellissi		40 40/1(-60%)																															(6) Fontana Ellissi 40/1, Runner-up twice at Cheltenham in late 2022. Not disgraced in 2 runs back from 13 months off last winter but off a further year ahead of this reappearance. Mark has eased though, and the betting can guide. Back from another year off and has plenty to prove on soft or heavy ground.
8	8 |PU| (8) (14/1 -180%) Valens Bruyee		14 14/1(-180%)																															(8) Valens Bruyee 14/1, A two-time winner over hurdles last season who offered little in 2 chase tries during the autumn but much more like it returned to this sphere/in cheekpieces when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 27 days ago. Still unexposed at this trip. Pipped at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) latest when having a second go in these cheekpieces.

16:08 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

KEABLE got off the mark in impressive fashion at Exeter earlier in the month, and an 11lb hike for that success may not be enough to prevent him from landing the double over further. A determined winner last time out over 2m4f at Wincanton, Prophesea can follow him home, while narrow Doncaster second Phillapa Sue and Job, who largely made all when scoring at Southwell most recently, are also respected.

An intriguing finale with the narrow vote in favour of low-mileage 6-y-o GETURGUCCION. Alan King's mare makes a quick switch to handicaps having finished runner-up both starts in this sphere to date and appeals as being potentially well treated now her stamina is tested further. Last-time-out winners Keable, Job and Prophesea head up the dangers in that order.

Keable deserves plenty of enthusiasm but PROPHESEA (nap) may well find the improvement he needs with today's step up in trip.

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.
