The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) Fern Hill 8/1, Progressive hurdler last season, winning twice, and even better form when runner-up both both starts over fences, chasing home Grumpy Charley in course handicap latterly. 4 lb out of weights.
1
1st (1) (0.73/1 +9%) Bravemansgame
0.73/1(+9%)
(1) Bravemansgame 0.73/1, One of last season's leading novice hurdlers and even better over fences, making it 3-3 in Kempton Grade 1 over Christmas. No easy task giving lumps of weight away but likely capable of better again.
2
2nd (3) (4.5/1 -29%) Pats Fancy
4.5/1(-29%)
(3) Pats Fancy 4.5/1, Ffos Las hurdle winner who is a chaser going places, making it 2-3 in this sphere (all starts at Chepstow) when bolting up just under 7 weeks ago. Much respected with further improvement on cards.
3
3rd (2) (3.5/1 +42%) Grumpy Charley
3.5/1(+42%)
(2) Grumpy Charley 3.5/1, Multiple hurdles winner last term and stepped up even on those efforts when making it second time lucky over fences in 22.5f course handicap in December. Raised 6 lb but should have more to offer.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (11/1 +31%) Gallyhill
11/1(+31%)
(5) Gallyhill 11/1, Promising start over hurdles last winter but weakening when falling on return/chase bow at Exeter. Had wind op before brought down first at Doncaster last month. Not easiest to assess.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(5) The Brimming Water 5/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland and improved on third start for new yard when landing 21f Wetherby handicap on Boxing Day. Travelled well long way when third over 3m at Haydock since. Now tongue tied.
2
2nd (8) (7.5/1 -15%) Coeur De Lion
7.5/1(-15%)
(8) Coeur De Lion 7.5/1, Useful on the Flat, including scoring at Royal Ascot in 2020. Similar standard over hurdles and seemingly still working up his fitness when last of 4 at Wolverhampton recently. One for the shortlist.
3
3rd (1) (3.5/1 +56%) The Big Breakaway
3.5/1(+56%)
(1) The Big Breakaway 3.5/1, Improved over fences last term, winning on chasing bow before placed in Grade 1s at Kempton and Cheltenham Festival. Unable to live with Chantry House last time and has had a wind operation since.
5th
5th (7) (18/1 +45%) Butler's Brief
18/1(+45%)
(7) Butler's Brief 18/1, Progressed when completing hat-trick at Bangor last May. Too bad to be true at Cheltenham on return and well and truly let down by his jumping on his first go over fences 2 months ago.
6th
6th (4) (8/1 -78%) Polish
8/1(-78%)
(4) Polish 8/1, Ended last term with success over C&D. Added to tally on Flat at Goodwood (2m) in October but shade underwhelming back over hurdles since. Certainly not ruled out, though.
7th
7th (9) (7/1 -56%) Sussex Ranger
7/1(-56%)
(9) Sussex Ranger 7/1, Three-time hurdle winner who scored over fences at this track in February 2020. Has been below par in only 3 outings since, though. Back over timber with a bit to prove.
8th
8th (6) (3.6/1 +40%) Whatsupwithyou
3.6/1(+40%)
(6) Whatsupwithyou 3.6/1, Useful hurdler who finished a fine fourth in the 22-runner Martin Pipe at Cheltenham Festival in March. Failed to go with much fluency both starts over fences but better signs back over timber since.
|DQ|
|DQ| (3) (7.5/1 -7%) Risk And Roll
7.5/1(-7%)
(3) Risk And Roll 7.5/1, Hunter chaser in more recent times but both starts for this yard over timber and looked at least as good as ever when bolting up at Huntingdon 15 days ago. Up 10 lb but holds solid each-way claims.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Eldorado Allen 6/1, Has taken his form up a notch this term, bagging Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter before good placed efforts in Peterborough at Huntingdon and Silviniaco Conti at Kempton. Not discounted stepping up in trip.
2
2nd (4) (2/1 +11%) Royale Pagaille
2/1(+11%)
(4) Royale Pagaille 2/1, Made massive strides last season, and he took another step forward when defying a BHA mark of 163 in Peter Marsh at Haydock three weeks ago. Another big run expected with ground conditions to suit.
3
3rd (1) (1/1 +20%) Clan Des Obeaux
1/1(+20%)
(1) Clan Des Obeaux 1/1, Top-class chaser who comes here on back of good second in King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. Also landed this contest in 2019, but yard's lack of recent winners is a worry.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (12/1 -118%) Imperial Aura
12/1(-118%)
(3) Imperial Aura 12/1, High-class chaser at his best, but he's failed to complete on all 4 starts since winning Ascot Grade 2 last term. Pulled up in Many Clouds Chase at Aintree latest one, so has questions to answer here.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Newbury Conditions Chase (Class 1) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(4) Funambule Sivola 2.25/1, Four-time scorer last term who proved well suited by the return to 2m when back to winning ways in Doncaster handicap 15 days ago. Likeable front-runner who can do better still. Big player.
2
2nd (1) (2/1 +11%) Sceau Royal
2/1(+11%)
(1) Sceau Royal 2/1, Very smart hurdler/chaser who took this event 12 months ago. Turned in a rare poor effort in International Hurdle at Cheltenham last time, but he's very much the sort to bounce back here.
3
3rd (5) (2.25/1 +10%) Hitman
2.25/1(+10%)
(5) Hitman 2.25/1, Course winner who comes here on back of excellent second to stable-mate Greaneteen in Tingle Creek at Sandown. Still low mileage and goes well fresh too, so he can't be discounted after his break.
4
4th (3) (8/1 -33%) Sky Pirate
8/1(-33%)
(3) Sky Pirate 8/1, Yet to add to last year's Grand Annual Chase success but he's posted four solid efforts this term, runner-up in 2m Warwick handicap last time. Firmly in the mix once more.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Newbury Conditions Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Glory And Fortune 20/1, Improver this term, scoring at Plumpton before taking the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las. Had a couple of today's rivals behind when very good second in Christmas Hurdle at Kempton latest.
2
2nd (5) (12/1 -9%) I Like To Move It
12/1(-9%)
(5) I Like To Move It 12/1, Useful dual bumper winner and similar standard when landing first 3 starts over hurdles. Not seen to best effect in a steadily-run Ascot Grade 2 latest. Yard seeking a fourth win in this since 2014.
3
3rd (4) (12/1 +25%) First Street
12/1(+25%)
(4) First Street 12/1, Well-regarded 5-y-o who made it 3-4 over hurdles when comfortably disposing of 9 rivals in 2m Kempton handicap last month. Surely has more to offer but de Boinville seemingly prefers Broomfield Burg.
4
4th (14) (66/1 -32%) Lord Baddesley
66/1(-32%)
(14) Lord Baddesley 66/1, Winner of 2 of 4 starts as a novice hurdler last term. Didn't take to fences first 2 runs this season. Better signs back hurdling when third at Kempton over Christmas but pulled up back there since.
5th
5th (1) (8/1 -14%) Soaring Glory
8/1(-14%)
(1) Soaring Glory 8/1, Impressive winner of this last year and took his form up another notch with Ascot listed handicap success on return. Not seen to best effect in small fields since. Respected despite top weight.
6th
6th (6) (11/1 -10%) Knappers Hill
11/1(-10%)
(6) Knappers Hill 11/1, 3-3 in bumpers, including Grade 2, and stretched unbeaten record to 5 with novice hurdle wins in autumn. Met with defeat but actually achieved better form when third in Grade 2 latest. Unexposed.
7th
7th (8) (2.75/1 +31%) Broomfield Burg
2.75/1(+31%)
(8) Broomfield Burg 2.75/1, Looked a good prospect when winning bumper and progressive over hurdles, strong-travelling second in Cheltenham handicap before gaining a second win in novice company at Kempton on Boxing Day. Player.
8th
8th (13) (12/1 +25%) Royaume Uni
12/1(+25%)
(13) Royaume Uni 12/1, Ready winner of 2m Plumpton handicap in October and at least matched that form when third of 12 at Cheltenham (17f) in December. No more than a respectable third at Kempton latest, though.
9th
9th (7) (9/1 -6%) Boothill
9/1(-6%)
(7) Boothill 9/1, Won bumper/novice hurdle in 2020 and shaped with plenty of promise when third in 2m Ascot handicap on return. Only fourth in chase since but retains potential back hurdling. Tongue tie added.
10th
10th (12) (100/1 -52%) Howdyalikemenow
100/1(-52%)
(12) Howdyalikemenow 100/1, Much improved for this yard, winning 3 times, including 2m Ffos Las handicap (heavy) last month. Found out in Grade 2 company at Warwick since and will need further improvement to overcome his mark.
11th
11th (2) (16/1 -14%) Tritonic
16/1(-14%)
(2) Tritonic 16/1, Seemed well suited by a test of stamina at 2m when landing Betfair Exchange Trophy at Ascot in December. Not seen to best effect in Christmas Hurdle at Kempton since.
12th
12th (10) (22/1 -57%) Fifty Ball
22/1(-57%)
(10) Fifty Ball 22/1, Most progressive 2m hurdler last season, including chasing home Soaring Glory in this (same mark). Hasn't gone on since chase debut third but interesting back over timber for his in-form yard.
13th
13th (11) (6.5/1 -8%) Jpr One
6.5/1(-8%)
(11) Jpr One 6.5/1, Winner of novice hurdles at Exeter and Taunton this winter and even better form when narrowly denied at Cheltenham in between. Lacks experience for a race like this but there's likely more to come.
14th
14th (9) (8/1 +27%) Jetoile
8/1(+27%)
(9) Jetoile 8/1, Placed just once in 4 points but he's quickly developed into a useful novice hurdler, making all at Chepstow and Leicester (both 2½m) this winter. Second in Grade 1 Tolworth latest. Mark workable.
LTO Selection:
15:35 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(7) Phoenix Aquilus 14/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, stays 16.5f, successful last 2 starts. Showed fair form when placed on 2 of his 3 hurdle starts last season but more needed here.
2
2nd (11) (9/1 -13%) Jaramillo
9/1(-13%)
(11) Jaramillo 9/1, Useful on Flat for Roger Varian (bought for six-figure sum by current connections) and was in the process of recording a promising hurdling debut when falling heavily 2 out at Warwick. Considered.
3
3rd (3) (200/1 +20%) Groom De Cotte
200/1(+20%)
(3) Groom De Cotte 200/1, Well held in bumper/2 novice hurdles.
4
4th (2) (3/1 +54%) Great Heart'Jac
3/1(+54%)
(2) Great Heart'Jac 3/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and stepped up on his hurdling debut form when narrowly denied in a Doncaster novice (16.6f) 32 days ago, albeit with the run of the race. In the mix.
5th
5th (1) (3.2/1 +20%) Sonigino
3.2/1(+20%)
(1) Sonigino 3.2/1, Won 4-y-o events in the spring for David Cottin. Shaped well when third on stable debut at Haydock and back to a similar level when fourth in a useful handicap at Ascot 3 weeks ago. The one to beat.
6th
6th (12) (16/1 -60%) Saligo Bay
16/1(-60%)
(12) Saligo Bay 16/1, Dam closely related to useful hurdler (2m winner) Tandem. Fairly useful on Flat for Roger Charlton, stays 1¾m. Sold for 52,000 gns in October and well worth a look on this switch to hurdling.
8th
8th (4) (3.33/1 -48%) King Ottokar
3.33/1(-48%)
(4) King Ottokar 3.33/1, Useful Flat performer for Charlie Fellowes. Failed to beat a rival at Chester when last seen in September, but he's still a most interesting hurdling newcomer.
11th
11th (6) (150/1 -20%) Matchmaking
150/1(-20%)
(6) Matchmaking 150/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott, but off 30 months prior to being pulled up on Leicester hurdles debut 18 days ago.
LTO Selection:
16:10 Newbury Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Astronomic View 66/1, Confirmed debut promise when opening his account at Exeter 42 days ago but it's hard to imagine he'll be good enough to land this much stronger event.
1
1st (11) (8.5/1 +15%) Top Dog
8.5/1(+15%)
(11) Top Dog 8.5/1, Promising placed efforts on each of his three starts to date, third to Henri The Second in listed event at Ascot last time. Liable to find at least one too good again.
2
2nd (13) (7/1 -56%) Rosy Redrum
7/1(-56%)
(13) Rosy Redrum 7/1, Related to numerous winners and added to her stables impressive season when making a winning start in a tongue strap at Wincanton last month. Open to improvement, so no forlorn hope.
3
3rd (4) (12/1 +25%) Ballyglass
12/1(+25%)
(4) Ballyglass 12/1, Placed in bumpers for Sam Curling and immediately scored for new stable at Southwell 40 days ago, having something to spare.
4
4th (3) (1.62/1 +46%) Authorised Speed
1.62/1(+46%)
(3) Authorised Speed 1.62/1, Shaped well on his first two outings, and mightily impressive shown breaking his duck in ready fashion over C&D last month. Sets the standard and should do better again, so he's worth backing.
6th
6th (9) (22/1 -100%) Libberty Hunter
22/1(-100%)
(9) Libberty Hunter 22/1, Scored at the third attempt in 15-runner bumper at Chepstow 70 days ago, finding extra. First run for yard after leaving Brian Eckley. Others more persuasive.
7th
7th (5) (28/1 +30%) Basford
28/1(+30%)
(5) Basford 28/1, Out of a bumper winner and followed suit with a cosy success on debut at Carlisle in October. Creditable third at Wincanton subsequently, but he's vulnerable in this company.
8th
8th (1) (11/1 -38%) Timeforatune
11/1(-38%)
(1) Timeforatune 11/1, Bought for £175,000 by new connections after landing a bumper emphatically, and has maintained his unbeaten record since, trebling his tally at Cheltenham 3 months ago. Obvious claims despite penalty.
9th
9th (12) (10/1 +17%) Mamoon Star
10/1(+17%)
(12) Mamoon Star 10/1, Good second on debut at Huntingdon then, upped in grade, acquitted himself well when third in listed company at Cheltenham, finishing with running left. May do better still.
10th
10th (7) (12/1 -20%) Filanderer
12/1(-20%)
(7) Filanderer 12/1, Half-brother to a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking at Warwick on the final day of 2021. Should do better, so could well make his presence felt.
11th
11th (10) (66/1 -164%) Tchoupinminzac
66/1(-164%)
(10) Tchoupinminzac 66/1, Doubled his tally in bumpers at Ludlow in January, displaying a good attitude. He'll probably find at least one too good in this company, so just place claims at best.
12th
12th (6) (33/1 -136%) Dusky Days
33/1(-136%)
(6) Dusky Days 33/1, Flemensfirth gelding who made ideal start when landing a Stratford bumper last May and returned with a solid showing when fourth in listed race at Ascot 57 days ago. Should give another good account.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

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.
