13:55 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/5 +56%) Queensbury Boy	0.4 2/5(+56%)	(1) Queensbury Boy 2/5, £130,000 purchase after Irish point win. Showed smart form in bumpers, winning on Rules debut at Chepstow before an excellent second in a much deeper field at Punchestown last spring. Made a successful hurdling bow with plenty in hand at Doncaster recently and seems sure to go to better things. Bumper form makes for good reading and he won easily on his hurdling debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +29%) Captain Bellamy	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(4) Captain Bellamy 5/2, Point winner who also landed a bumper last season. Only a remote second on Exeter hurdle debut in November but much improved when first past the post in a C&D novice in December (later disqualified after rider Lorcan Williams found guilty of overusing the whip). Obvious player on form. Disqualified from first over C&D three months ago; can clearly win a race of this nature.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -57%) Nazare	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Nazare 11/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 12-runner bumper at Huntingdon in January, finishing off strongly. Beat all bar a 4-y-o newcomer to whom he was conceding lots of weight at Southwell subsequently and he's an interesting hurdling debutant. First or second in all his bumpers; Flat bred and may lack the potential of some in here.
4	3 4th (3) (80/1 -60%) Broxy Music	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Broxy Music 80/1, In top hands but has shown nothing in a bumper/Ascot maiden hurdle. Tongue tie goes on. In a top yard but has been weak in the betting for both his runs and shown very little.
5th	5 5th (5) (250/1 -150%) Forlano	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Forlano 250/1, Placed just once from 4 starts in bumpers and well held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Tailed off at Fontwell two weeks ago and has no realistic form claims in this company.

13:55 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

QUEENSBURY BOY finished second to the useful Wingmen in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival last May, before returning to record a commanding success on his hurdling bow recently. Harry Derham's charge is hard to oppose under the penalty, and Haydock winner Ski Lodge, who looks the main threat, will need considerable progress to upset the apple cart. Captain Bellamy, first past the post over C&D in December before losing out in the stewards' room, can chase the penalised pair home.

QUEENSBURY BOY created a good impression when landing the odds on his recent hurdling debut at Doncaster and, with his smart bumper form suggesting he'll go on to much better things, he could prove hard to beat under a penalty. Nazare has shown plenty in 3 bumpers and is an interesting recruit to this sphere, while Ski Lodge and Captain Bellamy are others capable of having a say.

Harry Derham won this race 12 months ago and owner/rider David Maxwell has a good prospect on his hands in QUEENSBURY BOY.

14:30 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (40/1 -186%) Genois	40 40/1(-186%)	(1) Genois 40/1, Got off the mark over fences at Wetherby in November but pulled up in handicap chase at Newcastle (20.1f, good) 27 days ago. Has a bit to prove now. Hasn't built on his Wetherby win but drying conditions would be very favourable.
1	3 1st (3) (9/4 -20%) Leave Of Absence	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(3) Leave Of Absence 9/4, Lightly-raced winning hurdler. Runner-up both starts in this sphere, behind The Changing Man in Reynoldstown Novices' Chase at Ascot (23.8f, good) on latter occasion. Player on his handicap debut. Now tackles his first handicap and doesn't look overburdened off this mark.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +10%) Havaila	3 3/1(+10%)	(7) Havaila 3/1, Has started well over fences and easily bagged his second success in 3-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Must enter calculations under a 7 lb penalty. Easy winner 11 days ago; has the penalty and he's up against classier opposition.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 +36%) Art Of Diplomacy	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(6) Art Of Diplomacy 7/2, Flat winner who won 3 times over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland. Placed all 4 starts over fences for his current yard, a good second of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make his presence felt again. Consistent over fences (0-4) but will need to raise his game in the first-time cheekpieces.
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 +6%) Ilovethenightlife	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(4) Ilovethenightlife 15/2, A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on an encouraging chase debut when landing a Kempton handicap in November. Not disgraced when last of 5 in listed chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ought to be thereabouts. 1-5 over fences; this is her first time against male opposition over fences.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 +42%) Tedley	7 7/1(+42%)	(2) Tedley 7/1, Won handicaps at Uttoxeter and Wetherby on his first 2 outings over fences and has mostly performed with credit in defeat since, though only ninth here last time. The sort to bounce back, though. More exposed than some in here but he can be competitive off this mark.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 -64%) Idefix De Ciergues	9 9/1(-64%)	(5) Idefix De Ciergues 9/1, Made a winning start over fences at Chepstow in November. Campaigned over hurdles since and pulled up in handicap at Sandown (23.4f, heavy) 48 days ago. Still not ruled out back in this sphere. Has done well over hurdles since his chase win in Oct; might be on a tough mark now.

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

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

Havaila recorded a facile success in a three-runner contest at Plumpton last time and he merits respect under a 7lb penalty, but preference is for LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The eight-year-old shaped with significant promise when returning from over two years off the track at Kempton in November and was far from disgraced when finishing second to Ultima runner-up The Changing Man in the Reynoldstown at Ascot next time. With that in mind, a handicap mark of 127 does not look beyond him. The consistent Art Of Diplomacy is also noted.

A case can be made for most of these but Anthony Honeyball's low-mileage LEAVE OF ABSENCE could take a step forward now going handicapping so gets the nod over recent Plumpton scorer Havaila. Ilovethenightlife and Art of Diplomacy can't be discounted either.

There should be a big run in Reynoldstown runner-up LEAVE OF ABSENCE who doesn't look overburdened for his first handicap.

15:00 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (33/1 -106%) Ballywilliam Boy	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Ballywilliam Boy 33/1, Added another placing to his record when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 5/4) in September, faring best of those held up. First run for yard after leaving M. Hourigan. Cheekpieces back on and he's a player if fully tuned up after a break. Capable hurdler when trained in Ireland; the market could be helpful after 174 days away.
1	5 1st (5) (9/4 +63%) Manuelito	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(5) Manuelito 9/4, A fairly useful dual 2m winner over hurdles for David Pipe. Showed the benefit of his stable debut/recent run when runner-up in 8-runner handicap at Exeter (16,7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, pulling long way clear of rest. Subsequent 3 lb rise shouldn't stop him from making another bold bid. Up in grade from Exeter but performed well in defeat and should give his running.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -78%) Aucunrisque	8 8/1(-78%)	(1) Aucunrisque 8/1, Gained a first success since his 2023 Betfair Hurdle win when landing a decent 2m Ascot handicap in November. However, hasn't fired in 3 starts since and has enough to prove. A winner at Ascot in November but he's becoming a hard horse to trust.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/4 +18%) Mythical Moon	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(6) Mythical Moon 9/4, Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in bumpers and took to this discipline well after 6 months off when bagging 14-runner novice at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) in October. Solid placed efforts have followed and has to be respected on this switch to handicap company from a fair-looking mark. Has some useful novice form to his name and has to be of interest in his first handicap.
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 +33%) Montecam	8 8/1(+33%)	(8) Montecam 8/1, Showed fairly useful form when landing a Hereford maiden hurdle last spring. However, let down by his jumping on his Kempton chase debut and was never competitive reverting to hurdling at Warwick on most recent outing. Back down in trip. Has only won a Hereford maiden; returning from another break here and comes with risks.
5th	7 5th (7) (20/1 -43%) All In You	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) All In You 20/1, Expensive purchase and 4-time winner in France. Failed to see race out previous British start in juvenile hurdle at Kempton in January 2024 and off since a lesser effort on handicap debut in Auteuil in November. First run for new yard. Market useful. Four-time winner in France and he's an interesting one on his handicap debut in Britain.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 0%) He's A Latchico	14 14/1(0%)	(9) He's A Latchico 14/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and won twice over hurdles at Fontwell in 2023/24. Below form there on final 2 outings that season, but has been given a chance by the handicapper - even from 1 lb out of the weights - if ready to roll. Has the form to play a part but wellbeing is an issue after so long on the sidelines.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 -133%) Anyharminasking	14 14/1(-133%)	(3) Anyharminasking 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 and was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) on most recent outing. Handicapper continues to relent but is a risky proposition. Will need to perform better than in his last three races and others look safer.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/1 -29%) Glory And Fortune	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Glory And Fortune 9/1, Former Betfair Hurdle winner who ran creditably on the figures when third in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, good to soft) in December, though he didn't shape particularly well. Not as good as he was but that's reflected in his mark and he ran well last time.

15:00 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GLORY AND FORTUNE has largely struggled since landing the Betfair Hurdle in 2022 but there were more encouraging signs for Tom Lacey's 10-year-old last time when third at Kempton in December. The son of Fame And Glory might not be one to rely on heavily but if able to build on that performance, he ought to go very close from an unchanged mark. Mythical Moon continues to run well in defeat and is entitled to the utmost respect now sent handicapping, while the class-dropping Aucunrisque should not be underestimated either.

MANUELITO was unlucky to bump into one considering the distance he beat the rest at Exeter a fortnight ago and looks to have excellent claims of going one better providing this doesn't come too soon. The dangers are headed by handicap-debutant Mythical Moon and Ballywilliam Boy, who shaped well on his final outing for his previous yard.

Handicap debutant MYTHICAL MOON has mixed it with some smart novices this season and he edges preference in a trappy race.

4	4 (4) (6/4 +25%) Go To War	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(4) Go To War 6/4, Dual novice hurdler winner for Fergal O'Brien who not only got back on track but shaped well when third in 11-runner handicap here (20.5f, soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Interesting now upped to 3m. Yet to win a handicap but third here last time and this longer trip is worth exploring.
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +38%) Zain Nights	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) Zain Nights 4/1, Useful stayer on Flat and much improved over hurdles last spring, completing a handicap hat-trick in a big-field contest at Haydock in May. Mixed bag since however, pulling up in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham last week. Visor on for 1st time. Won this last year and then two more; would go well if a change of headgear inspires.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -33%) Welcom To Cartries	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Welcom To Cartries 4/1, Useful novice hurdler last season, winning Ascot maiden prior to finishing runner-up in Grade 2 River Don. Not disgraced in the face of stiff tasks both starts over fences and of interest now reverting to hurdling. Has potential back hurdling as he's lightly raced and did finish runner-up in a Grade 2.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +32%) Jubilant	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(6) Jubilant 15/2, Improved in a first-time tongue strap when off the mark over hurdles in a Huntingdon handicap (25f) in February. Left poorly placed when the pace truly lifted at Market Rasen since and it shouldn't be assumed he's shown all he can. One to consider. Up in grade and looks on a harsh mark; they have claimed 5lb the last twice as well.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +0%) Gold In The Rivers	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Gold In The Rivers 14/1, Steadily progressive for Gordon Elliott and stepped up on stable debut when fourth at Carlisle in December, travelling well but not finding much. However, shaped as if amiss on his first start since undergoing a breathing op (also tongue tied) at Chepstow since. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Below his Irish form in three runs for current yard and now tries cheekpieces.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 -86%) Hititi	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(1) Hititi 13/2, Seems a bit better over hurdles than fences and ran up to his best reverted to the smaller obstacles when second in 12-runner handicap (10/1) at Exeter (23.1f, soft) 40 days ago. Should go well again. On a tough mark but strong form when runner-up last time at Exeter; very solid.

15:30 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

WELCOM TO CARTRIES has been chasing, finishing an honourable fourth in a Sandown Grade 2 before coming up predictably short in the Kauto Star. Switched back to timber, presumably to preserve his novice status over fences next term, he is fancied to boost his confidence. Hititi's Exeter second was franked when the winner and third made the frame in last week's Pertemps Final. Zain Nights pulled up in that Festival event, but took this prize 12 months ago. Go To War took a step back in the right direction when third over an extended 2m4f here and is worth a try at this distance.

GO TO WAR shaped well when third at this course on his most recent outing, especially with a view to now stepping up to 3m, so he's put forward as the answer. Welcom To Cartries hasn't been disgraced in the face of stiff tasks on his 2 starts over fences and is of interest now reverting to the smaller obstacles, while Jubilant was left poorly placed at Market Rasen and it shouldn't be assumed he's shown all he can as a hurdler.

There are dangers for sure but HITITI ran a rock-solid race at Exeter last time when ahead of last week's Pertemps Final runner-up.

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +71%) The Boola Boss	4 4/1(+71%)	(7) The Boola Boss 4/1, Off 3 months and went without usual headgear when a below-par third of 5 in handicap chase at Taunton (21.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Tongue strap back on now so he enters calculations off a slipping mark. Good mark and would have found the ground too soft when returning from a break.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +38%) Kikijo	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(2) Kikijo 5/2, Lightly-raced winning hurdler who got off the mark on his chasing debut in 4-runner handicap here (19.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Can go well again. Came home strongly over 2m4f here on chase debut and predictably goes further now.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/8 +46%) Muskoka	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(4) Muskoka 15/8, Easily got off the mark over fences at Hereford (25.2f) in December and backed it up with a very good fourth of 6 at Wincanton following month. That form has been franked so he's a player off an unchanged mark. Looked good at Hereford and wasn't beaten far at Wincanton; remains of interest.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 -175%) Sherborne	11 11/1(-175%)	(6) Sherborne 11/1, Resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, soft) 40 days ago. Up 5 lb but very much one to consider. A 5lb rise for last time (2m3f) seems fair and 2m6f will be within range.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -57%) Thor De Cerisy	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Thor De Cerisy 22/1, A dual chase scorer last season but winless this term and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, heavy) 38 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Ran no race last time at Lingfield under his optimum conditions (heavy).
6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +31%) Stormy Flight	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(1) Stormy Flight 11/2, Yet to score this term but not discredited when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, soft) 45 days ago. Expected to be bang there off a handy-looking mark. An 11yo with a lot of weight but remains capable on his day; last run wasn't too bad.

16:02 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

KIKIJO didn't show too much on his first couple of UK starts but was a revelation on his chasing debut, striding clear to score over 2m4f here, with All Authorized back in third. He will relish the extra distance - and even further in time - while the experience gained will help his jumping. He looks a bright prospect. Sherborne registered a deserved success at Exeter, but will find this tougher. Nevertheless, he has to be respected, as does Muskoka now that he cuts back in trip.

This is wide open but MUSKOKA can race off the same mark as when a very good Wincanton fourth last time out (form working out well) so could prove the way to go. Stormy Flight heads the list of dangers ahead of in-form trio Sherborne, Kikijo and High Treason.

Sean Bowen got a tune out of THE BOOLA BOSS the last time they teamed up and he might be the answer to an open race.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
12	12 (12) (22/1 +33%) Patanita	22 22/1(+33%)	(12) Patanita 22/1, Bumper winner in spring 2022 but low mileage over hurdles since and tried in cheekpieces when eighth in 2m5f handicap at Warwick 12 days ago. Tongue tied here with more needed. Capable of better than he showed last time at Warwick but wouldn't be the percentage play.
1	14 1st (14) (6/1 +57%) Mahler Moon	6 6/1(+57%)	(14) Mahler Moon 6/1, Underwent breathing surgery before coming in a respectable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 31 days ago. Respected now stepping back up in trip in his bid for a breakthrough victory. 2m3f too sharp last time after a break; second in this last year off 5lb higher.
2	11 2nd (11) (6/1 +25%) Holokea	6 6/1(+25%)	(11) Holokea 6/1, Irish point/bumper winner who made a successful hurdle debut over 3m at Southwell in October. Back to that form when second of 6 in handicap at Market Rasen (23f) 17 days ago. Not out of things. They went no pace last time (2m7f) so in the circumstances did well to finish second.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 +0%) Jatiluwih	18 18/1(+0%)	(2) Jatiluwih 18/1, Is a long time without a win and has tumbled down the weights as a result, although he hasn't looked like capitalising on his falling mark. Unseated rider early at Ascot last time. Needs to take a step forward. Hasn't won under rules since 2019 and much-reduced mark looks justified.
4	10 4th (10) (28/1 -300%) Geturguccion	28 28/1(-300%)	(10) Geturguccion 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden who raced too freely when only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 65 days ago. Not written off yet. Ran below expectations on her handicap debut here but she's a lot better than that.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -264%) Kintail	20 20/1(-264%)	(1) Kintail 20/1, Winless this term but cheekpieces on for 1st time and running well when unseated rider last in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Good chance of finishing second when unseating in the new cheekpieces at Warwick.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -65%) Stratton Oakmont	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Stratton Oakmont 33/1, Returned with a good third at Ffos Las in November but pulled up at Haydock and Southwell since. Has it to prove now. This campaign has headed into reverse since an encouraging return.
7th	8 7th (8) (15/2 -36%) Murphy's Milan	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(8) Murphy's Milan 15/2, Promising son of Milan who has shaped well on all his three runs, fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) in November. Steps up in trip for his handicap debut with more to offer. Interesting. Lightly raced; goes up in trip for handicap debut and lots of stamina in the pedigree.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -60%) Glimpse Of Gala	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Glimpse Of Gala 40/1, It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 and she was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 40 days ago. Has plenty to find. Last won in January 2023 and mostly disappointing in the meantime.
9th	3 9th (3) (4/1 +27%) Super Sabre Sam	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Super Sabre Sam 4/1, Landed a 19f Fontwell maiden in October and has continued in good form, third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. A likely player off an unchanged mark now stepped up in trip. Hit a flat spot before keeping on at Ludlow and he's now stepping up from 2m5f.
10th	6 10th (6) (4/1 +60%) Pachacuti	4 4/1(+60%)	(6) Pachacuti 4/1, Lost his way over fences but got back on track when a staying-on second of 7 in handicap hurdle here (20.5f, soft) 21 days ago. Considered returned to a longer trip. Kept on for second behind an improver here last time over 2m4f; stays this far.
11th	13 11th (13) (16/1 -14%) I'm A Starman	16 16/1(-14%)	(13) I'm A Starman 16/1, Arrives in decent nick, refitted with blinkers when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 40 days ago. Enters calculations off a falling mark. He runs well now and again but this exposed 12yo may need an easier opening these days.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (18/1 -29%) Valens Bruyee	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Valens Bruyee 18/1, Got back on track when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist in his bid for a first success of the season. His profile is notoriously inconsistent and softer ground would be preferable.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -56%) Kissman	28 28/1(-56%)	(4) Kissman 28/1, Fairly useful hurdle winner in France but not at that level in 3 starts for new connections. It remains still quite early days with this yard though so he's no forlorn hope from a falling mark. Hard to warm to on what he's shown in Britain, including two handicaps.

16:37 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a wide-open handicap but a bold bid is expected from MURPHY'S MILAN, who shaped with promise when not beaten too far into fourth over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow in November. The lightly-raced six-year-old could be suited by stepping up in trip for his handicap debut and an opening mark of 109 looks workable, while the recent good form of his stable inspires further confidence. Kintail was running a big race when unseating his rider at the last over 3m2f at Warwick 12 days ago and this drop in distance should help, while Holokea is another to consider after filling the runner-up berth off this mark at Market Rasen.

A few with chances but the lightly-raced MURPHY'S MILAN appeals as a likely improver now his stamina is drawn out on his handicap debut and he gets a confident vote for a yard among the winners. Super Sabre Sam could emerge as the chief threat now he also steps up in trip, although Valens Bruyee, Kintail and Mahler Moon also need shortlisting in this competitive handicap.

Last year's second MAHLER MOON (nap) will be interesting if he can make the anticipated progress from his encouraging run at Taunton.

2	2 (2) (9/2 +63%) Trevada	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(2) Trevada 9/2, Fair chaser for Oliver Sherwood. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when landing 3-runner hunter chase (11/10) at Fakenham (24.2f) for his new yard 10 months ago. Landed a point 12 days ago so must enter calculations. Hunter chase winner; has done well in points and beat a respected rival in the latest.
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 +18%) Rebel Dawn Rising	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(1) Rebel Dawn Rising 9/2, Fairly useful chaser. 11/1, pulled up in hunter chase at Leicester (22.7f, heavy) 24 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Heavy ground an excuse on comeback; big shout on last year's spring form.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Empire De Maulde	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Empire De Maulde 12/1, Unreliable type who was pulled up in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f) 8 months ago on his final run for James Ewart. Tongue strap back on. Runner-up in a point 12 days ago so not ruled out. Has got himself back on track in points and could easily hold his own here.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/4 -8%) Itchy Feet	1.75 7/4(-8%)	(5) Itchy Feet 7/4, Veteran who took advantage of a slipping mark at Market Rasen (23f) in November 2023 but lightly raced and below par since. Has the form to play a big part if back on his A-game here however. Current wellbeing an issue but impossible to rule out with his impressive CV.
4	4 4th (4) (9/4 -13%) Enrilo	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(4) Enrilo 9/4, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021 but he posted a good second of 5 in hunter chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 44 days ago. This C&D winner merits serious consideration. Stable has a good record in this and he was close up on his recent hunter chase debut.

17:10 Newbury Hunter Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ITCHY FEET achieved a mark of 155 over fences in his pomp and despite being 19lb lower now, he still comes out clear on official ratings in this hunters' chase. Olly Murphy's veteran blew away the cobwebs with a couple of hurdle spins in January and could have too much class for these rivals on his return to chasing, although Enrilo was only beaten a length in a similar event at Ludlow last month and the Paul Nicholls-trained C&D winner will be no pushover. Rebel Dawn Rising looks best of the remainder.

Not an easy race to assess and it could go the way of Paul Nicholls' ENRILO who is taken to build on an encouraging Ludlow second last time out. Itchy Feet is another veteran who can have a big say if on song.

If REBEL DAWN RISING can return to the form he was showing around this time last year then he'll go well. He had excuses last time.
