Sam Brown

3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(1) Sam Brown 10/3, Still capable of smart form this term, third in Charlie Hall at Wetherby on return and runner-up in Veterans' Final at Market Rasen in January. Bit below that level when fourth of 7 in Denman Chase at this course 3 weeks ago, but he's a major player back in a handicap.
Clear second at Market Rasen in most recent veterans' chase run; likely player.

(4) Grandads Cottage 17/2, Capitalised on the drop in grade at Carlisle on return in December. However, was suited by the way race developed and has gone backwards from that effort in 2 veterans' races since, tried in cheekpieces when well held at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Others more persuasive.
Couple of poor efforts since Carlisle win; enough to prove over this new trip.

(6) Good Boy Bobby 7/1, Back-to-back winner in veterans' handicaps last season and ran well on 3 of his first 4 starts this campaign, including when third in Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby on Boxing Day. However, lacklustre effort at Wincanton last time so bounce back now called for.
Record of 0-5 this term but has bits of good form; possibilities off this mark.

10/3(+0%)
(5) Credo 10/3, Useful handicapper at best and, with visor applied for first try in veterans' company, returned to winning ways at Exeter 20 days ago, jumping soundly and scoring by 4½ lengths from Gustavian. Was suited by the strong gallop last time but she can remain competitive.
Readily beat Gustavian in similar event at Exeter last month; warrants respect.

(8) Amateur 22/1, Having been pulled up on final 3 starts in 2023/24, returned to form from out of the blue when recording a fourth C&D success at Ffos Las in May. However, has gone the wrong way again since, pulled up on all 4 subsequent outings. Has had a wind op.
Won last May but the letter P dominates the rest of his recent form figures.

(2) Quick Wave 12/1, Successful only start in 2021/22 and landed the London National at Sandown on return the following season. Pulled up in Welsh National next time, but left that effort behind when winning the Grand National Trial at Haydock in February 2023. Has been absent since, though.
Absent since winning notable contest at Haydock two years ago; goes well fresh.

(7) Gustavian 3/1, Without a win since 2022/23, though put up a good effort when a close second in an Aintree handicap on Boxing Day. Fell early on next time, but soon bounced back when runner-up in veterans' handicap at Exeter 20 days ago, faring best of the pacesetters. Not taken lightly.
Ran creditably behind Credo at Exeter; holds a fighting chance off current mark.

Won similar event in December; not in the same form since; cheekpieces applied.

13:20 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

CREDO accounted for Gustavian (second) and Cloudy Glen (fifth) when scoring in ready fashion over 3m at Exeter last time and it's hard to see that form being overturned. Anthony Honeyball's veteran retains the visor added on that occasion and provided she remains in similar form, she will prove tough to beat. Good Boy Bobby possibly didn't appreciate heavy underfoot conditions when being pulled up at Wincanton last time, but he might be worth another chance. Quick Wave is noted too.

SAM BROWN has proved that he's still a smart performer on his day this season, bumping into a rejuvenated rival when runner-up in the Veterans' Final at Market Rasen, so he could be ready to resume winning ways after his fourth in a Grade 2 here last time. Anthony Honeyball looks to hold a strong hand in the race, with Gustavian next on the list ahead of Credo.

Armed with a 6lb pull, GUSTAVIAN may be able to reverse Exeter placings with Credo who commands respect all the same.

Authentic Legacy

2.25
9/4(+75%)
(4) Authentic Legacy 9/4, Fair form in bumpers and of a similar level over hurdles, making the frame on his first 4 starts and not doing badly considering he was way too free in first-time cheekpieces (left off here) at Sandown on most recent outing. Not written off.
Non-stayer over 2m4f last time; has consistent form (2223) at about 2m over hurdles.

Soundly beaten in open company last time; won novice handicap earlier in December.

U Cant Be Serious

6/1(-20%)
(1) U Cant Be Serious 6/1, Rangy gelding who showed promise in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form well behind to open his account in 10-runner novice at Taunton (19f) in December, quickening clear flat having jumped/travelled well. Found it tougher under a penalty at Ascot and opening mark looks on the high side.
May not be crying out for drop back to 2m but testing ground would be a possible help.

Won at Uttoxeter last month on handicap debut; drops back in trip and goes up in grade.

Two encouraging efforts over hurdles; produced best Flat performance at this venue.

Scored easily at Kempton last month on handicap debut and is the type to improve further.

13:55 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

EPINEPHRINE proved a different proposition when bolting up on her first start in a handicap at Kempton last time and even a 9b rise might not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Venetia Williams' mare is likely to have plenty of improvement in her, so she can take this before moving up the class ladder. Tarbuck got off the mark at Uttoxeter on his most recent start and should go well, likewise U Cant Be Serious.

EPINEPHRINE left behind a considerate first 2 runs for the stable when forging away in a well-run race at Kempton just over 3 weeks earlier and a 9 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Tarbuck won a much weaker handicap at Uttoxeter recently but had plenty in hand nonetheless and warrants respect in his follow-up bid, while the useful-looking Authentic Legacy shouldn't be written off.

Off an attractive mark on his handicap hurdle debut, NAP HAND is preferred. Epinephrine is feared most.

(5) Rivers Corner 15/2, Back-to-back winner over hurdles for Syd Hosie this time last year. Not long with present yard and his chase debut third in 8-runner Ffos Las handicap (19.4f) 23 days ago wasn't devoid of encouragement. Return to this longer trip entitled to suit. Blinkers on 1st time.
Clear signs of a revival last time (chase debut); possibilities if taking well to headgear.

(4) Zertakt 9/4, Landed 3 of his 6 starts in France. Lightly raced and consistent for this yard, placed first 2 starts this winter before a rallying fourth over a marathon trip at Windsor (28.7f) 6 weeks ago. Return to softer ground here will do him no harm stepping back down in trip.
0-5 in Britain but gives the impression there's a handicap chase in him; interesting.

Jasmin De Grugy

(1) Jasmin De Grugy 15/8, Big improver in handicaps. Completed a hurdle hat-trick in May and extended his winning run to 5 when building on his Southwell chase debut success in 8-runner C&D handicap 45 days ago. Had a bit to spare then and big shout in bid to complete 6-timer.
C&D win last time took his form figures in handicaps to 211111 and chase record to 2-2.

Mistake didn't help at crucial stage when good third at Taunton in December and he retains potential back from a break.
Solid record since switched to chasing, winning twice then creditable third; in the mix.

Form figures of 22113 since switched to fences; lacked fluency last time but ran well.

14:30 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

JASMIN DE GRUGY successfully completed a five-timer when victorious in good style over C&D on his latest outing and he was put up 8lb for that success. The son of Masked Marvel could have more to offer on only his third chase start and can continue his marvellous form. Superbolt finished a respectable third in this grade over 2m4f at Ludlow last time and will have no issues with this step back up in distance, while Law Of Supply is another to note.

Having completed a hurdles hat-trick back in the spring, JASMIN DE GRUGY has continued on his steep upward trajectory over fences this winter, supplementing his reappearance Southwell success in similarly good style over C&D 45 days ago. Appealing as the type to do better still, he could be up to completing the 6-timer. Law of Supply remains capable of better himself in this sphere and is feared, ahead of Zertakt in an interesting small-field affair.

The way he's going, JASMIN DE GRUGY could well defy another rise in the weights. Zertakt is second choice.

Jurancon

2/1(+50%)
(1) Jurancon 2/1, Useful bumper scorer who made it 2-4 in this sphere when seeing off 12 rivals in a C&D novice in January. Top weight is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid on handicap debut.
Justified favouritism in C&D novice event last time, taking rules record to 1212121; solid.

Very consistent; latest effort took his hurdles record to 21122; similar type to Jurancon.

While his opening handicap mark hardly looks generous he surely has more to offer.
Looks the type to build on his Exeter maiden win and do well in handicaps; respected.

15:05 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having regained the winning thread in a novice hurdle over C&D in January, Jurancon must enter calculations on his handicap debut. However, SORCELEUR is slightly more compelling. The five-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second in a competitive novice at Exeter and a similar performance reverting to handicap company may prove sufficient. Last-time-out winner Kap Ouest also commands attention.

An interesting handicap in which it's tough to rule out any. JURANCON tasted success over C&D in novice company last time and can take the next step up the ladder now handicapping. Sorceleur has already shown he can go well off his mark and is second choice ahead of Kap Ouest, who, like the selection, brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut.

With further progress on the cards, KAP OUEST is taken to follow up his Exeter maiden win. Jurancon is second choice.

15:45 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Although BILLYTHEREALBIGRED was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when finishing second at Cheltenham in January, the five-year-old lost little in defeat. A 3lb higher mark looks more than fair for the son of Proconsul and he looks ready for this first step outside of novice handicap chase company. Coral Gold Cup winner Kandoo Kid may be heading for next month's Grand National and 2m4f may prove on the sharp side. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from last month's Warwick winner Le Milos.

BILLYTHEREALBIGRED is a really likeable type and going from strength to strength over fences so can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Cheltenham second. Sandown-victor Vincenzo should find this longer distance in his favour and is next on the list, while C&D scorer Saint Segal and in-form pair Kotmask and Kandoo Kid can all have a say too. Beau Balko completes the shortlist in this cracking handicap.

Improving novice chaser BILLYTHEREALBIGRED (nap) holds particularly strong claims and is first choice ahead of Kandoo Kid.

Guard Duty

4/1(+47%)
(1) Guard Duty 4/1, Hooded when landing 2m Uttoxeter novice in July but hasn't been the slickest of jumpers. Progressed in handicaps, well-backed when landing a novice handicap hurdle (20f, good to soft) at the Windsor Winter Million meeting, having jumped better. Lightly-raced for his age and could be more to come.

Disappointed next time, his fate sealed by his jumping rather than a lack of stamina. Interesting if he can bounce back.

(7) Fine Casting 14/1, More than 2 years since last win but took a step in the right direction when chasing home a younger/improving sort at Lingfield in December. Failed to build on that promise when jumping poorly at Wincanton the following month but remains fairly-treated and will be suited by underfoot conditions.
Losing run goes back to 2022; the veteran in this field and vulnerable to younger legs.

6/1(+14%)
(6) Solar System 6/1, Thriving this season, showed much improved form to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts (second only to a fellow progressive type on sole defeat) when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Haydock (21.2f, soft) 42 days ago. Respected despite a 6 lb rise and step up in class.
Genuine type; just prevailed at Haydock last time; 6lb higher but impossible to rule out.

40/1(-233%)
(3) Aboutdamntime 40/1, £50,000 Irish point recruit who scored on hurdle debut (2½m Carlisle maiden) in November before being outclassed at Cheltenham the following month. Off the bridle a long way from home when fifth of 12 at Carlisle on final qualifying run and this could be a stiff enough opening handicap mark.
Hasn't built on hurdling debut win but could take form to a new level now handicapping.

13/2(-18%)
(11) Eaton Anne 13/2, Successful sole outing in Irish points and has found his confidence since wind surgery earlier in this season, looked an out and out stayer when winning decisively at Lingfield (19.5f, soft). Should relish this stiffer test of stamina and remains unexposed having only his 7th start under Rules.
Big improver, winner at Uttoxeter and Lingfield (easily); up 11lb but high on the list.

(4) Ninth Loch 15/2, Bumper scorer for Willie Mullins prior to winning 3 times over hurdles in France. Plenty of encouragement in a couple of starts for his new yard, well-backed when doing well to finish third at Taunton (16.5f, soft) having made a serious mistake 3 out. Remains of interest now up in distance.
Unexposed type; hindered by bad mistake when third at Taunton; interesting contender.

(5) Taita Hills 18/1, £35,000 purchase after winning Irish point, showed plenty of promise in novice/maiden hurdles and progressed when stepped into handicap company latest, winning a 5-runner race at Sandown (19.8f) having been suited by the emphasis on stamina. Testing ground/extra distance will be in his favour here.
Improved when scoring on handicap debut at Sandown; 4lb rise does not look insurmountable.

(8) Lemoncello 22/1, Winner (both spheres) in France showed signs of finding his feet when chasing home an easy winner at Hereford (19.7f) in December, before disappointing at the same venue when too keen 45 days ago. Hooded on first try at longer trip and while capable of better, he may come into his own over fences.
0-4 in Britain, pulling hard last time; needs to settle better for the fitting of a hood.

(9) Raffles Nobu 66/1, Fair hurdle winner in France for Marcel Rolland but made an underwhelming U.K. debut (raced without usual headgear) when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft). Up in trip/tongue-tie back on but jockey bookings would suggest he is the stable second string.
Well held in fifth at Sandown on stable debut; second string on jockey bookings.

16:15 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

EATON ANNE couldn't have done it any easier when hacking up over an extended 2m3f at Lingfield last time out and this upwardly mobile seven-year-old gets the vote to go in again despite an 11lb hike in the weights. Emma Lavelle has her string in fine form at present and Guard Duty did it well when scoring over 2m4f at Windsor latest, so must be of interest off 6lb higher. Loverdose is also noteworthy.

A decent race for the grade and while the testing ground should go some way to providing the stamina test that plenty of these are needing, there doesn't appear to be much pace on. That won't bother the highly-progressive LOVEDOSE who has sat close to the speed when winning 4 of his last 5 starts. He's most interesting ahead of Ninth Loch, who's shown plenty to suggest he's capable of going close from this mark, while Go To War can't be ruled out if recapturing the form of his stable debut.

Preference is for NINTH LOCH who has not been with Harry Derham long and shapes as if he'll be suited by today's step up in distance.

Well backed and looked a good prospect when winning 8-runner bumper at Wincanton a month ago, seeing off Hill In Brazil. Plenty more to cone.

Second to There Runs Mary at Wincanton and meets that rival on 4lb better terms.

16:50 Newbury NH Flat Race (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

THERE RUNS MARY got the better of Hill In Brazil (second) when the pair met in a Wincanton bumper in January and that form line looks the key to this contest. The former did it cosily on that occasion and, with the promise of more to come, she gets the vote to confirm her superiority despite being 4lb worse off at the weights. Ace Artist is a half-sister to a smart Flat performer and she looks the pick of the remainder.

THERE RUNS MARY and Hill In Brazil dominated a Wincanton bumper a month ago and they may well come to the fore again. The latter is 4 lb better off this time but the former arguably boasts more scope for improvement, so is selected to come out on top again. There are a trio of interesting Rules newcomers in opposition, too, notably Heron In The Park.

Hill In Brazil shaped nicely on debut at Wincanton but despite a pull in the weights may again be vulnerable to THERE RUNS MARY.

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.
