1st (3) King Of The Lake (9/4 -29%)
King Of The Lake

2.25
9/4(-29%)
(3) King Of The Lake 9/4, Capitalised on falling handicap mark after 8 weeks off when bolting up at Wincanton (21.3f, soft) 13 days ago, always travelling strongly and seemingly much improved for having undergone a second wind surgery. 11 lb makes life tougher but still a major player if arriving here in the same form.
Wind op before winning by 26l under Chad Bament at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft); up 11lb.

(4) Pachacuti 12/1, Steadily got the hang of things over fences last season but has lost his way this year, pulling up on both starts (latest following a second wind operation). Reverts to hurdling with something to prove.
Pulled up last two starts; equipment removed for this first hurdle race for two years.

Star Of Affinity

9/2(-100%)
(1) Star Of Affinity 9/2, Progressive over hurdles this season, winning three times, including career-best performance at Kempton earlier this month, travelled well and forged clear to score decisively. Up 9 lb for that but he's improving and has to be respected in his bid for a hat-trick.
3-5 since wind surgery, scoring with authority on last two starts; up another 9lb.

(6) Bobby Socks 11/5, Successful in a brace of 2½m handicaps in 2023 and showed he retains plenty of ability following a 17-month absence, placing in two handicaps, latest when chasing home an unexposed/well-backed horse at Southwell following a second wind surgery (tongue tie added today). One for the shortlist.
Good 2nd at Southwell latest after his second wind op; unraced on worse than good to soft.

(7) Kalhandrion 18/1, Has shown glimpses of ability in novice/maiden hurdles, latest wearing first-time tongue tie when creditable sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Shapes as though he will be better suited to handicaps and there could be more to come on handicap hurdle debut.
Showed promise three starts back; it's too early to forget that and this is handicap debut.

Colonial Empire

12/1(+40%)
(5) Colonial Empire 12/1, A three-time 2m winner in 2022/23. Reappearance after 14-months off suggests he still retains ability and handicapper has given him a chance now, racing from only 1 lb higher than his latest winning mark.
Off 409 days before never-nearer fifth of 14 at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) five weeks ago.
7th

7th (8) French Symphony (15/2 +63%)
French Symphony

7.5
15/2(+63%)
(8) French Symphony 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden wasn't seen to best effect facing a shorter trip (on the back of a wind operation) on his final qualifying run, but fared little better when back up in distance for handicap debut last month, sixth of 10 at Sandown (19.8f, soft). First-time visor needs to spark improvement.
22l sixth of ten on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft; 16-1) latest; visor goes on.

14:13 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Star Of Affinity has proved most progressive since returning with a victory at Exeter in October and another bold bid looks likely. However, a 9lb hike for his Kempton triumph earlier this month could prove to be his undoing, with KING OF THE LAKE edging the vote. A wind procedure worked the oracle for Jeremy Scott's gelding judged on his 26-length romp at Wincanton 13 days ago and an 11lb higher mark looks surmountable. Bobby Socks is also noted.

Following a second wind surgery, KING OF THE LAKE appeared better than ever when routing the opposition by 26 lengths at Wincanton and despite an 11 lb rise, he may be able to follow up that victory if in the same sort of form. Bobby Socks has performed creditably in both starts since a long absence and he remains of interest, while Star of Affinity is much respected given his upward trajectory.

Star Of Affinity is going from strength to strength and KING OF THE LAKE (nap) won by 26l on his latest start.

Give It To Me Oj

0.444444
4/9(+33%)
(5) Give It To Me Oj 4/9, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and has run to a similar level when placed in both juvenile hurdles, latterly second in the Victor Ludorum at Haydock. Sets a clear standard and has the potential for even better.
2nd of five in useful event at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) makes him the clear form pick.

(8) Ocean Conquest 9/4, Flat winner in Ireland in 2023. Best effort in juvenile hurdles for new yard since returning from an absence when second of 7 at Warwick (21m, soft) last time. The obvious threat to the Give It To Me Oj.
Close second at Warwick (2m, soft) last time despite making mistakes.

Modest maiden (stays 1m3f) after his 11 races on Flat; has left Ollie Sangster.

Bumper win; racing freely and late mistakes cost him on Plumpton hurdles debut (2m, soft).

14:48 Newbury Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GIVE IT TO ME OJ built on his promising third-placed timber bow behind current Triumph Hurdle joint-favourite East India Dock at Wincanton when finishing runner-up behind unbeaten hurdler Gibbs Island at Haydock earlier this month. This looks a golden opportunity for the Time Test gelding to shed his maiden tag and he's likely to prove a warm order. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Warwick second Ocean Conquest, while market support for the selection's stablemate Bradshaw on his opening bid in this sphere would be interesting.

This looks a good opportunity for GIVE IT TO ME OJ to strike at the third time of asking over hurdles. Ocean Conquest is the one likely to follow him home.

They made several jumping errors last time out but this nevertheless appears to lie between GIVE IT TO ME OJ and Ocean Conquest.

9/2(+10%)
(3) Kikijo 9/2, Won juvenile hurdle decisively on sole start in France but no significant impact in a pair of handicap hurdles in the mud for new connections in December. Remains unexposed now chasing but a watching brief is the percentage call.
Three races, two in Britain; chase debut and he's 7lb lower than on handicap/British debut.

(2) Bashers Reflection 6/4, Progressed into a fairly useful hurdler last season and has matched that level when placed in 19.5f handicap chases at Chepstow and Wetherby this winter. Pulled clear of the rest when second at the latter venue 4 weeks ago and looks well treated off the same mark.
Solid prospects if his latest effort (2nd over an extended 2m3f on soft) is repeated.

No show on chase debut five weeks ago but he could prove much more potent this time.

The Good Doctor

11/4(-10%)
(1) The Good Doctor 11/4, Bettered his fairly useful winning hurdle form when second in 2m handicaps at Warwick and this venue on his first 2 starts over fences. Something can't have been right when pulled up at Hereford last time and he's capable of bouncing back.
Second in two 2m handicaps before his flop when favourite at Hereford (upped to 2m5f).

15:23 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A wind procedure in January enabled a return to form from BASHERS REFLECTION when finishing a good second in a class 3 event at Wetherby at the start of this month. Ben Case's charge makes plenty of appeal dropping into class 4 company, more so racing off an unchanged mark. Although he pulled up at Hereford last month, The Good Doctor may have found his previous exertions catching up with him and the six-year-old isn't taken lightly. All Authorized may chase the aforementioned pair home.

BASHERS REFLECTION's latest Wetherby second looks a solid piece of form and he's taken to make it fifth time lucky over fences, although The Good Doctor will be a threat if able to bounce straight back from a poor run at Hereford.

The most solid option appears to be BASHERS REFLECTION, who finished 10l clear of the third when runner-up off this mark last time.

1st (1) Horaces Pearl (5/6 +63%)
Horaces Pearl

0.833333
5/6(+63%)
(1) Horaces Pearl 5/6, One of the best around in bumpers last season, signing off with a Grade 2 win at Aintree, and proved a class apart on Huntingdon hurdling debut (15.8f, soft) in November. Open to significant improvement and he's a very strong candidate for this.
All starts on good to soft; unbeaten in bumpers and easily won at 1-5 on hurdle debut (2m).

(2) Lud'or 4/1, French recruit who has done nothing wrong in 4 starts since crossing the Channel, most recently landing the odds in a 14-runner Wetherby maiden (19.7f, soft). Should continue to give a good account but up against highly promising types here in Horaces Pearl and Pierrot Jaguen.
Jumping wasn't great in Wetherby win; has the form to mix it with the other hurdle winners.

(3) Pierrot Jaguen 7/4, Point winner who fetched plenty both times he's gone through the ring (£200,000 latest) and duly confirmed his Cheltenham debut promise when landing a 23f Lingfield maiden (soft) with any amount to spare late last month. Clearly a nice prospect and he's one to follow.
£200,000 buy after point win; Cheltenham third before 2-9 winner at Lingfield (2m7f, soft).

22/1(-175%)
(4) Dyno Dave 22/1, Showed ability when fifth of 14 on belated debut in a Chepstow maiden (19.4f, heavy) recently, despite carrying his tail awkwardly (head carriage wasn't faultless either). Seemingly lacks the immediate potential of some of these rivals, though, and he's probably more one for the medium-to-long term.
15-2 from 16-1, stuck on well when fifth of 14 in maiden at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, soft).

(5) Lightning Maqueen 80/1, Showed promise in bumpers last year, particularly when third in a big-field contest at Kempton. Testing conditions perhaps to blame for low-key display at Fontwell last time but that was 11 months ago and he's entitled to come on for this hurdles debut.
Kempton 3rd (soft) in one of his bumpers; wind surgery in September; dam 2m hurdles winner.

15:58 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

PIERROT JAGUEN got off the mark under Rules in impression fashion over 2m7f at Lingfield four weeks ago and, given that the third has won since, Olly Murphy's gelding sets the standard on the back of that performance. That said, Horaces Pearl maintained his unbeaten record on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon in November and, while this demands much more, the Grade 2 bumper winner is an obvious threat to the selection. Lud'or is the clear pick of the remainder.

A fascinating clash between highly promising novices PIERROT JAGUEN and Horaces Pearl. The latter proved to be one of the best bumper performers around last term and his hurdles debut success was brimming with promise. However, preference is for Pierrot Jaguen, who looked good at Lingfield and while it's likely that he will really come into his own over fences in due course, he nevertheless looks capable of making his mark in this sphere in the meantime. Lud'or can also make his presence felt.

Lud'or may prove vulnerable to the clear potential of both the unbeaten HORACES PEARL and 2m7f Lingfield winner Pierrot Jaguen.

Rath Gaul Hill

4.5
9/2(-35%)
(3) Rath Gaul Hill 9/2, Arrives on a hat-trick having scored over C&D and at Ayr (16.5f, soft) on final 2 starts of last season. 4 lb rise for latest success fair enough and likely to pose a significant threat to his 4 rivals, provided he is ready to roll following a 10-month absence.
Lightly raced 7yo who should be open to more improvement if all's well on this return.

The Famous Five

1.25
5/4(+72%)
(2) The Famous Five 5/4, Dual winner over hurdles and confirmed promise of his chasing debut when winning a 5-runner C&D handicap duing the Christmas period. Bounced back from a below-par Haydock effort when finding just one too good at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) last time and strong claims off the same mark here.
Not the most fluent but Chepstow 2nd (extended 2m3f, soft) puts him back into calculations.

Out of form back for two runs this winter, pulled up behind The Famous Five here latest.

Completely misfired over the same C&D recently but the fact that he's turning out again just 15 days later suggests that all is well.
Ran a shocker last time but in the mix if he bounces back, with 7lb claimer recruited.

Won his first three starts over fences; runner-up in three of five starts since.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

16:33 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MOUNT TEMPEST failed to fire when last seen at Sandown but the eight-year-old can be given another chance based on his previous success off just a 3lb lower mark at the same venue. The Famous Five filled second place over 2m3f at Chepstow last time and could repeat that achievement here, although Duhallow Tommy and Rath Gaul Hill are others who merit places on the shortlist.

THE FAMOUS FIVE remains just 2 lb above the mark off which he landed a C&D handicap over Christmas and the 7-y-o is taken to resume winning ways on the back of a creditable second at Chepstow last time. Duhallow Tommy has resumed with a couple of solid efforts in defeat this season and looks sure to be in the thick of things once again, while Rath Gaul Hill will be a player if fully tuned-up and top-weight Mount Tempest is also feared, despite a decidedly sluggish display at Sandown recently.

Duhallow Tommy looks the most solid to give his running but RATH GAUL HILL might start this campaign where he left off last term.

(7) Wonderful Eagle 5/1, Flat winner in Germany has proved as good as ever over hurdles this season, twice placing at Cheltenham, latterly (3m, good to soft) when keeping on well on first try over this sort of trip in a steadily run affair. Leading contender if he can cope with this greater test of stamina.

Found out in better company at Cheltenham last month but well worth a go at this trip and looks interesting back in calmer waters on handicap debut.

Not in the same form from an 8lb higher mark when sixth of 12 over C&D (soft) 20 days ago, having threatened to deliver more. Low mileage 8-y-o could bounce back.
Long break before completing his hat-trick; C&D sixth six weeks ago dented his credentials.

Left behind low-key comeback when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f) earlier this month, relishing the test of stamina. Interesting but needs to prove he can back that up.

Last won February 2023; absent 637 days before pulled up over C&D (soft) three weeks ago.

17:05 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Gamesters Guy looks set to relish this step up in trip on his handicap debut, although mark of 130 seems to be stiff enough on what he has achieved to date. With that in mind, preference is for WONDERFUL EAGLE, who has placed in two valuable handicaps at Cheltenham on his last couple of starts and remains open to further improvement. The consistent Magical King edges out Saint Palais to be best of the rest.

MAGICAL KING should relish this test of stamina, having finished second over C&D in similar conditions earlier this month. He appeals most ahead of Wonderful Eagle who has placed in some good Cheltenham handicaps this season, while Gamesters Guy could be open to more improvement stepping up in trip on handicap debut.

Magical King and Gamesters Guy are players but WONDERFUL EAGLE's strength in the closing stages at Cheltenham was persuasive.

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.
