1	6 1st (6) (12/1 -33%) Neon Moon		12 12/1(-33%)																															(6) Neon Moon 12/1, Strong traveller who returned better than ever to open his account over fences in handicap at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) in October. Weak finishes have been the primary feature of each of his 4 subsequent starts, though, and he looks vulnerable. Made good start to season in autumn but has lost his way a bit since.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -80%) Deeper Blue		9 9/1(-80%)																															(4) Deeper Blue 9/1, Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts in handicap chases at up to 21f since returning from a 12-month absence in October, most recently chasing home a progressive type at Hereford. Surely it's a matter of time before he gets his head in front over the larger obstacles and a bold show is on the cards here. 0-4 over fences but was second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner last time; new trip today.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 -17%) Abuffalosoldier		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(3) Abuffalosoldier 7/2, Enjoyed his finest hour over hurdles at this course when taking a Class 2 handicap early last term, and opened chase account in fine style back here (22.4f, soft) in January, which was his first run following a wind op and in cheekpieces (retained). Up 9 lb but he's a big player nonetheless. After a wind op, he won by 10l here (2m6f) in January; must be considered.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -67%) Are U Wise To That		5 5/1(-67%)																															(2) Are U Wise To That 5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who made it 2-3 over fences when landing a 6-runner Cheltenham handicap (25.2f, good to soft) on his latest start in December. More needed up 5 lb in this competitive race but further progress isn't out of the question and he has to enter calculations. 2-3 over fences; still unexposed over staying trips and has more to offer; major player.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 +15%) Mofasa		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(1) Mofasa 11/2, Dual hurdles winner for Michael Scudamore last term and positive start over fences for new yard, building on debut promise in this sphere when landing a 3m Huntingdon handicap in November. Disappointing behind Are U Wise To That at Cheltenham since but given a break/wind op since. Chase winner in November; breathing issue next time; player if all is well after wind op.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/4 +36%) Atlanta Brave		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(5) Atlanta Brave 9/4, Irish point winner who was 2-4 over hurdles last season and all the better for return/chase bow when second at Exeter in November. Another solid effort when going down fighting here (3¼m, soft) a month later, pulling well clear of the rest with the winner, and he has to be taken very seriously. Ran big race in defeat here in December and could still be well treated after 6lb rise.
7	7 |F| (7) (15/2 +46%) Moon Hunter		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(7) Moon Hunter 15/2, Winning pointer who landed his first 2 starts over hurdles but finds himself with a bit to prove following 3 rather laboured efforts in this sphere since returning to action in October. Made encouraging chase debut in October but two lesser efforts have followed.

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

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

Neon Moon has failed to show a great deal on each of his last four starts, but he continues to drop in the weights and could get a lot closer now that he competes off his last winning mark. ARE U WISE TO THAT still looks the way to go, though, after scoring off a 5lb lower rating at Cheltenham in December. Jonjo O'Neill's seven-year-old has only had the three starts over fences so should have plenty of improvement in him. Atlanta Brave has occupied the runner-up berth the last twice and is another to note.

Cases can be made for the majority of the seven due to go to post, with ATLANTA BRAVE shading preference on the back of a fine effort in defeat here at the end of December. The 6-y-o probably has more to offer in this sphere, a remark which also applies Abuffalosoldier, who delivered a good round of jumping when scoring by a wide margin here last time and is feared most ahead of Deeper Blue.

One of two to dart clear of the others when second here in December, ATLANTA BRAVE can overcome a subsequent 6lb rise.

1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -25%) Huffin An A Puffin		10 10/1(-25%)																															(5) Huffin An A Puffin 10/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) No More Heroes. Highly respected on his debut. Second foal from unraced half-sister to a very smart jumper; market informative on debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/4 +40%) Ballybentragh		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(1) Ballybentragh 6/4, Irish point winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Sandown in January. 5/4, good second of 5 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 21 days ago so he's well in the mix. Win and good second in his two hurdle runs this year and he's respected for in-form yard.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/5 -70%) The Newest One		3.2 16/5(-70%)																															(4) The Newest One 16/5, Fairly useful hurdler who easily got off the mark at Chepstow in December. Very good third of 10 in River Don at Doncaster (24.4f, good) 55 days ago. Leading form claims. 1-13 over hurdles but was placed in a Grade 2 latest and has leading form claims here.
4	8 4th (8) (28/1 -12%) Dairylane Daisy		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Dairylane Daisy 28/1, Successful on her sole outing in points and made an encouraging start hurdling when sixth in a maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f). Only ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f) since but can still do better. Point winner but he's finished down the field in both hurdle runs this winter; opposable.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 +8%) Risk De Pluie		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(3) Risk De Pluie 11/2, Winning Irish pointer who followed suit in 2m3f novice at Fontwell on Rules debut in January. Posted a solid third of 5 in novice at Sandown (16f, soft) 36 days ago. Up in trip and firmly in the picture. Point winner who has done well since switched to hurdles; dangerous back up in trip.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 -52%) Move With The Beat		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Move With The Beat 50/1, Dual point winner who hinted at promise when fourth of 10 on his 19f Taunton hurdle debut in February. Unseated rider 1st at Hereford 13 days ago but he remains with potential. 2-3 in British points but he's made an underwhelming start over hurdles; best watched.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 +0%) Village Master		40 40/1(+0%)																															(7) Village Master 40/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and showed promise when fifth in novice at Chepstow (19.4f) on hurdles debut in December. Disappointed at Hereford in January and has since undergone wind surgery. Not written off. Tailed off in both hurdle runs this winter and needs a transformation after wind surgery.
2	2 |F| (2) (9/2 -35%) Classic King		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(2) Classic King 9/2, Made a winning start over hurdles at Wincanton (15.2f) in October and better form when runner-up all three starts since, clear of the rest at Taunton last time. Can go well again. Record of 1222 over hurdles including close call latest; should give it another good shot.

15:00 Newbury Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

THE NEWEST ONE very much sets the standard after reaching the frame in the River Don at Doncaster, and he is rated 6lb superior to his nearest rival in this contest. The nine-year-old has Sam Twiston-Davies back on board and he should have no issues with the drop in distance. Ballybentragh finished miles clear of the third when beaten by a potentially nice type over C&D earlier in the month. He looks the main danger, with Classic King next best after his half-length second at Taunton.

THE NEWEST ONE holds a clear edge on form and with his sights lowered after a very good third in Doncaster's River Don Hurdle he is fancied to resume winning ways. Classic King should ensure Nigel Twiston-Davies' fairly useful sort doesn't have things all his own way though, with in-form pair Ballybentragh and Risk de Pluie both also worthy of consideration.

A compeitive race in which BALLYBENTRAGH gets the vote ahead of The Newest One and Classic King.

1	9 1st (9) (10/3 -21%) Doyen Quest		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(9) Doyen Quest 10/3, Made a successful bumper debut at Ffos Las in November and got it right at third time of asking over hurdles in Taunton maiden in February. Good first attempt in handicaps when second of 12 back there 11 days ago. 6 lb well-in compared to his future mark. Second on handicap debut at Taunton and well treated off same mark here (up 6lb in future).
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 -18%) Steel Ally		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(3) Steel Ally 13/2, Unlucky not to make a winning start over hurdles at Ffos Las in November (landed very awkwardly at the last). Proved a let-down back there a month later but bounced straight back with a Wincanton novice success (2m, soft) 7 weeks ago. Very much unexposed now handicapping. Unexposed 6yo who won at Wincanton last time and looks interesting on his handicap debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +30%) Imperial Saint		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(5) Imperial Saint 7/2, £40,000 purchase after an Irish point win. Followed up on 2m Ludlow hurdle debut for new yard in November and ran to a similar level when second of 13 in a 2m novice at Chepstow on Welsh National day. Very much unexposed now handicapping. Point winner who has done well since switched to hurdling; interesting on handicap debut.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -15%) Kamaxos		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(1) Kamaxos 15/2, Made light of a long absence to comfortably see off 6 rivals in 2m Sandown handicap in February. No doubt retains all of his ability but he will need a career best to follow up off 8 lb higher. Returned from a long absence with a 16l win at Sandown; up 8lb but he's a big player again.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -13%) Takeit Easy		18 18/1(-13%)																															(2) Takeit Easy 18/1, Back to winning ways over 2m at Chepstow last April and just as good when third of 17 in the Swinton at Haydock off this mark a fortnight later. Not seen since but should be very competitive if ready to roll. Resurgent in final two runs last season and he remains well treated on old form; respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +50%) Finest View		14 14/1(+50%)																															(7) Finest View 14/1, Won 4 on the bounce for this yard in spring 2022. Not at the same level for Andrew Martin in 2023 but handicap mark reflects that and she needs keeping an eye on the in betting having rejoined Alan King. Well treated on her old form for Alan King and needs checking in market on return.
7th	13 7th (13) (18/1 -80%) Saligo Bay		18 18/1(-80%)																															(13) Saligo Bay 18/1, Capitalised on another drop in grade when winning a Plumpton seller in December. Respectable third on his completed start in handicaps back there since. Exposed type who was only third of six at Plumpton last time and others are preferred.
8th	12 8th (12) (4/1 +27%) David's Well		4 4/1(+27%)																															(12) David's Well 4/1, Shaped well when fifth in a C&D novice last month and made no mistake in a much weaker race at Plumpton (2m, soft) 16 days later. Looks on a feasible mark for this handicap debut. Much respected. Easy win in Plumpton maiden last month and he could have a lot more to offer in handicaps.
9th	8 9th (8) (15/2 +46%) Hecouldbetheone		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(8) Hecouldbetheone 15/2, Dual novice hurdle winner for Gary Moore in 2021/22. Showed he retains ability in 3 outings over fences for Chris Gordon back from an absence at the end of 2023. Now reverts to hurdles for another new yard. One to note in the betting with Cobden booked. No joy since returning from a long absence; questions to answer for another new yard.
10th	14 10th (14) (40/1 -150%) Phoenix Risen		40 40/1(-150%)																															(14) Phoenix Risen 40/1, Has got his act together since the cheekpieces went on, scoring twice at Taunton last April. Placed twice at the start of last summer and given time since a heavy fall at Newton Abbot in July. On a competitive mark but chance he'll need this after 8 months off. 7yo who looks fairly exposed and doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable.
11th	10 11th (10) (66/1 -267%) Red Windsor		66 66/1(-267%)																															(10) Red Windsor 66/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles last term but just one effort of note this season, pulling up back hurdling at Plumpton last month. David's Well the more obvious of the yard's pair. Pulled up at Plumpton last twice and he needs a major turnaround back in trip.
12th	6 12th (6) (150/1 -650%) I Have A Voice		150 150/1(-650%)																															(6) I Have A Voice 150/1, Won twice in juvenile hurdles last season but ran badly on last month's rather belated reappearance at Newcastle. That leaves him with a bit to prove. Struggled on his comeback at Newcastle last month and has something to prove after that.
13th	4 13th (4) (150/1 -355%) Royal Mogul		150 150/1(-355%)																															(4) Royal Mogul 150/1, Won maiden/novice events at up to 19f for Donald McCain last season but pulled up in Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr on final start and suffered a similar fate on chase debut there on reappearance in November. Off a further 139 days since (has had wind surgery). Pulled up in both handicaps (hurdle/chase) and needs a major revival after wind surgery.
14th	11 14th (11) (100/1 -525%) Charlie My Boy		100 100/1(-525%)																															(11) Charlie My Boy 100/1, Big improver over hurdles when winning a pair of handicaps at up to 2½m for Keiran Burke at the start of last summer. Off since a below-par fifth at Worcester in July. Now back under the care of former trainer John Jenkins. Back with former trainer but this looks a tough after a break and the ground is a concern.

15:33 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

KAMAXOS was mightily impressive when bolting up at Sandown on his return from a 663-day absence last month so a subsequent 8lb rise might prove lenient, providing this doesn't come too soon. Dan Skelton had an excellent Cheltenham Festival and his Doyen Quest, who struck the woodwork on his handicap bow at Taunton, must be respected because his 6lb hike doesn't come into effect yet. Others to note include Imperial Saint, Steel Ally and David's Well.

DOYEN QUEST is turned out a day before his 6 lb rise for last week's Taunton handicap debut second kicks in and can provide in-form Dan Skelton with another winner. Unexposed handicap newcomers David's Well and Imperial Saint head the dangers, while Takeit Easy was third in the very competitive Swinton at Haydock off an identical mark when last seen in May so could also have a say if primed for his return to action.

An interesting race in which the vote goes to DOYEN QUEST, who is well treated off the same mark as for his clear second at Taunton.

1	12 1st (12) (5/1 +58%) Zain Nights		5 5/1(+58%)																															(12) Zain Nights 5/1, Fairly useful Flat stayer for Harry & Roger Charlton. Changed hands for 75,000 gns and got off the mark over hurdles in 2m4f maiden at Market Rasen in January. Not disgraced switched to a handicap when fourth at Sandown subsequently but needs a bit more from his current mark on this first try at 3m. Good on the Flat; has been running over hurdles as though 3m will be up his street.
2	11 2nd (11) (9/2 +68%) Take No Chances		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(11) Take No Chances 9/2, Point winner who was placed in bumpers and made a winning hurdles debut at Huntingdon (19.5f) in November. Good second in Market Rasen (20.5f) novice next time and better than being pulled up suggests in C&D handicap since, headway when bad mistake 2 out and eased. Player for in-form yard. Novice winner; running well when pulled up after a bad mistake two out here last time.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -186%) Hermino Aa		20 20/1(-186%)																															(3) Hermino Aa 20/1, Proved at least as good as ever when second of 14 in a handicap hurdle at Sandown (23.4f, good to soft) early last month, sticking to task. Seemingly unable to handle conditions when a tailed-off fourth over C&D subsequently. Near miss at Sandown before failing to cope with bog-like conditions here three weeks ago.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 -13%) Mt Fugi Park		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(7) Mt Fugi Park 9/2, Cost £290,000 after making a successful debut in the Irish pointing field last February and looked a useful prospect in winning his first 2 starts over hurdles 3 months apart. Found extreme test too much in Grade 2 at Haydock last month and remains with potential. Couldn't have given his running when losing unbeaten record in a Grade 2 at Haydock.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 -71%) Gyenyame		12 12/1(-71%)																															(8) Gyenyame 12/1, Fair 2m Flat winner and struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in 2½m Wincanton maiden last March. Ran creditably on first 3 outings this term but produced a laboured fitted with cheekpieces for the first time over hurdles at Sandown 56 days ago. Bounce back called for. Returning to 3m is probably in his favour but others might be better handicapped.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/1 -33%) Madaket		8 8/1(-33%)																															(9) Madaket 8/1, Resumed progress in first-time cheekpieces when easily winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (24.7f, heavy) 15 days ago. Hiked up 12 lb but remains unexposed over staying trips. Stepping up to 3m in cheekpieces triggered a spike in form last time; now 12lb higher.
7th	10 7th (10) (40/1 +0%) Warranty		40 40/1(+0%)																															(10) Warranty 40/1, Built on previous promise over hurdles when landing handicaps at Plumpton (20.5f) and Warwick (19f) in the autumn of 2022. Below form at Ascot on final outing for Gary Moore (played up beforehand) and possibly best watched setting out for a new yard after 13 months off. Feasibly treated but asking a lot to win this strong a handicap after 13 months off.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 +13%) Jatiluwih		14 14/1(+13%)																															(6) Jatiluwih 14/1, 10-y-o who is winless since November 2019 but confirmed himself in better heart when second of 6 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at this course (20.5f, soft) 20 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Step back up in trip rates a plus and should remain competitive. Steadily back to form; returning to 3m should be a good thing and he'll be keeping on.
9th	1 9th (1) (28/1 -100%) Karl Philippe		28 28/1(-100%)																															(1) Karl Philippe 28/1, Useful handicap chaser but bled when pulled up in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) on Boxing Day, labouring fourteenth. Back over hurdles fitted with first-time tongue strap (also had breathing op) and is yet to prove himself at further than 2½m. Bled last time over fences, which seems more his game these days; rather watch.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 -60%) Coquelicot		12 12/1(-60%)																															(4) Coquelicot 12/1, Added to her tally when making all in 3m Kempton listed race in November and returned to a similar level when second of 5 in a similar event at Haydock last month. Needs considering back in a handicap with the return to 3m in her favour. Likeable mare who should give her running but others might be better in.
11th	2 11th (2) (4/1 -45%) Destroytheevidence		4 4/1(-45%)																															(2) Destroytheevidence 4/1, Has hinted at temperament but made it 3 wins from 5 starts over hurdles in 5-runner handicap at Kempton (24.5f, soft) in November, eased run-in and value for considerably more. Respectable efforts up in grade since, found wanting for finishing speed in a modestly-run River Don latest. Progressive 3m hurdler on softish ground; conditions were against him last time.
5	5 |PU| (5) (28/1 +0%) Tea For Free		28 28/1(+0%)																															(5) Tea For Free 28/1, Won sole start in points and successful on all 4 completed chase starts in 2022. Presumably having a pipe-opener back over hurdles after 13 months off. An improving chaser when last seen but returns to hurdling after 14 months off.

16:08 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to COQUELICOT, who was no match for an impressive winner in a Listed contest at Haydock last month. Back in a handicap and upped in trip, conditions will be optimal and she looks to hold solid claims. Madaket has been raised 12lb after cruising to victory at Wincanton 15 days ago. He's open to further improvement, though, so that increase does not look insurmountable. Gyenyame is another to consider.

MADAKET won an uncompetitive handicap in good style at Wincanton 15 days ago and undoubtedly has much more on his plate from a 12 lb higher mark, but he remains unexposed at staying trips and could prove up to the task. Take No Chances shaped much better than being pulled up suggests in a C&D handicap last month and must enter calculations for a yard going great guns at present, with likeable veteran Jatiluwih completing the shortlist.

Plenty with chances in an open handicap. ZAIN NIGHTS (nap) has the potential to raise his game several notches now he steps up to 3m.

1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +25%) Maclaine		3 3/1(+25%)																															(4) Maclaine 3/1, Scored at Fontwell in late 2022 and in good form since until only fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Not written off with this longer trip also a likely plus. Unexposed chaser but he bled when disappointing last time and others are more persuasive.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 -167%) Son Of The Somme		16 16/1(-167%)																															(5) Son Of The Somme 16/1, Won over fences at Sedgefield last January and bounced back to form on his final run for Brian Ellison when second in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f) 54 days ago. Much respected on his yard debut reverted to this sphere. Runner-up over hurdles last time and could be dangerous back over fences for new yard.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +50%) Peejaybee		2 2/1(+50%)																															(3) Peejaybee 2/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles and opened his account in this sphere on just his second run for current yard in 5-runner handicap at Doncaster (24f, soft) 19 days ago. Player nudged up just 2 lb. Made his breakthrough over fences at Doncaster and he's only 2lb higher here; interesting.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +8%) Scene One		6 6/1(+8%)																															(7) Scene One 6/1, Made a successful start over fences at Fakenham and added to it at Market Rasen in January. Shaped like a non-stayer upped to 3m there last time however so others appeal more. Has a patchy record but he's 2-4 over fences and had an excuse at 3m latest; in the mix.
5th	8 5th (8) (17/2 -42%) Hall Lane		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(8) Hall Lane 17/2, A fair winning hurdler last term who made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up at Market Rasen in November. However, added to a patchy record when well held at Ludlow since so he has something to prove. His form has been up and down so far and was well held at Ludlow last time; down the list.
6th	6 6th (6) (17/2 -6%) Kepagge		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(6) Kepagge 17/2, Ended last season in winning form over hurdles and in the frame all three runs over fences this term, fourth of 9 at Wetherby last time. That form has been very well advertised so he's one to consider off an easing mark. Useful hurdler but he's been disappointing in his three runs over fences; plenty to prove.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -186%) Captain Quint		10 10/1(-186%)																															(2) Captain Quint 10/1, Cheekpieces on when getting off the mark for the season in 7-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (23.6f) 33 days ago, digging deep. Very much one to consider despite taking a 5 lb rise with the headgear again fitted. Won with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) and he's respected up 5lb.
1	1 |F| (1) (14/1 +22%) Soldier Of Destiny		14 14/1(+22%)																															(1) Soldier Of Destiny 14/1, Useful chaser at his best but he was pulled up on the back of a third breathing op in 2m3f Wetherby handicap chase last month. Has a bit to prove. Last win was two years ago and he was pulled after wind surgery last time; risks attached.

16:43 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Captain Quint appeared to benefit from the application of cheekpieces (worn again today) when scoring at Musselburgh and he should remain competitive off a 5lb higher mark, but preference is for fellow last-start winner PEEJAYBEE. The form of his Doncaster success looks stronger and a 2lb rise is kind. Add to that, title-chasing jockey Sean Bowen takes over the reins so another bold bid looks assured. Maclaine had excuses for his latest display (reportedly bled) and could be dangerous to dismiss, especially as he posted a solid placed effort on his penultimate outing.

PEEJAYBEE was quick to make his mark over fences for his new yard and can defy a 2 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of Musselburgh-scorer Captain Quint. Both Maclaine and Kepagge figure on handy marks and must enter calculations too in this open handicap.

Several have possibilities but it might be worth siding with SCENE ONE, who is is 2-4 over fences and had an excuse at 3m last time.

2	2 (2) (28/1 +15%) Farmer's Gamble		28 28/1(+15%)																															(2) Farmer's Gamble 28/1, Exeter handicap hurdle winner last February but has found life tough since, pulling up back hurdling over 20.5f here 3 weeks ago. The stable could hardly be in better form but he arrives with a bit to prove. Potentially well handicapped but has yet to complete this season.
1	1 1st (1) (11/1 -22%) Bumpy Johnson		11 11/1(-22%)																															(1) Bumpy Johnson 11/1, Won pair of 2½m Ffos Las handicap hurdles in a productive 2022/3 campaign but this season has yet to get going, including well-held fifth back hurdling at Wincanton in January. Dual 2m4f winner who could have untapped potential at 3m; nothing wrong with his mark.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +50%) Mahler Moon		5 5/1(+50%)																															(10) Mahler Moon 5/1, In top hands and ran his most encouraging race in handicaps when third of 12 at Doncaster (3m) in this headgear combination at the end of January. Possible he can build on that with his yard in flying form. Beaten 10l last time and off an untouched mark here, so more is needed.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 -33%) I'm A Starman		10 10/1(-33%)																															(9) I'm A Starman 10/1, Two wins over 25f at Plumpton this spring but the latter came in a 4-runner race and a further 4 lb rise may find him out in this deeper race. Can be up and down and seems to like sharp tracks, so perhaps not the percentage call.
4	8 4th (8) (7/2 +53%) Sporting Mike		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(8) Sporting Mike 7/2, Point winner who achieved a fairly useful level of form over hurdles last season. Failed to take to chasing on first 2 starts this term but hinted at a revival back hurdling at Ascot last month and his yard's continued good form provides the hope he can build on that. After chasing aspirations were soon aborted he didn't run too badly back over hurdles.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 -150%) Ted's Friend		40 40/1(-150%)																															(7) Ted's Friend 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler who was back to winning ways in a 23f Worcester handicap in September 2022. Creditable third at Bangor 16 days later but not seen since. Good yard clearly capable of readying one but a watching brief is the percentage call after 18 months off. How he'll fare after his absence is hard to gauge and perhaps the market will guide.
3	3 |PU| (3) (3/1 -50%) Republican		3 3/1(-50%)																															(3) Republican 3/1, Made a winning start for Harry Derham at Musselburgh (3m, soft) on New Year's Day. Remains with handicapping scope after a 5 lb rise and there could easily be more to come for his good new trainer. Winning start for this yard at Musselburgh (3m); a 5lb rise seems fair enough.
4	4 |PU| (4) (5/1 -25%) Haas Boy		5 5/1(-25%)																															(4) Haas Boy 5/1, Has slipped in the weights and back to form when placed at around 21f on his last 2 outings. The slight worry is he shaped like a non-stayer when sixth here on his previous attempt at 3m. Has his stamina to prove over this far but seems back on good terms with himself.
11	11 |PU| (11) (12/1 +14%) Annie Magic		12 12/1(+14%)																															(11) Annie Magic 12/1, Irish point winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last season. Not as good as her form figures over fences this time round might suggest (beaten 39 lengths when second latest) but is potentially very well handicapped back hurdling. Recent placings over fences don't amount to much; questions to answer at present.
6	6 |PU| (6) (18/1 -29%) Ah Whisht		18 18/1(-29%)																															(6) Ah Whisht 18/1, Point recruit who was first and second in novice hurdles at this time last year but her 2 handicap efforts this winter have been disappointing. A wind operation (also tongue tied first time) needs to help get her career back on track. Lightly-raced winner; nowhere in two handicaps but had wind surgery in the meantime.
5	5 |PU| (5) (25/1 -194%) A Definite Getaway		25 25/1(-194%)																															(5) A Definite Getaway 25/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Ben Pauling. Off since finishing second in 20.5f Southwell maiden last June. Steps up in trip for handicap and yard debut after 9 months off. Betting perhaps the best guide. 0-8 for previous yard; high enough in weights unless this step up to 3m can bring him on.

17:20 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

REPUBLICAN justified strong market support on his stable debut for Harry Derham at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and, given plenty of time to recover from that first outing since April last year, he could be worth chancing off a 5lb higher mark. Haas Boy arrives on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts and although continuing to creep up the ratings, he is likely to be in the shake-up again. Sporting Mike has fallen to a workable mark and will appreciate dropping in class, while Mahler Moon also has a squeak representing the red-hot Skelton team.

REPUBLICAN was rated in the mid-120s earlier in his career so retains plenty of handicapping scope up 5 lb for Musselburgh and can make it 2-2 for Harry Derham. Annie Magic is dangerously well handicapped back hurdling and is second choice ahead of Sporting Mike and Mahler Man.

This is open. HAAS BOY was a clear second at Wincanton and may be about to snap a two-year losing run. Sporting Mike is next best.

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.
