14:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (10/1 +17%) Grey Fox	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Grey Fox 10/1, Without a win since summer 2022 and shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when down the field at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Dropped 3 lb and could have a say in proceedings returned to 1m. Last win was in August 2022 and was laboured on his return last month; down the list.
2	11 2nd (11) (11/8 +66%) Johnjay	1.375 11/8(+66%)	(11) Johnjay 11/8, Won at Bath first time out last year and matched that form after 10 months off when third there (8f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Fancied to be in the shake-up from the same mark. Has form over C&D and was good third at Bath on his return last month; dangerous.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -122%) Darvel	5 5/1(-122%)	(6) Darvel 5/1, Returned at the top of his game after 6 months off to resume winning ways in decisive fashion at Bath (8f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, going with bags of enthusiasm. Not certain to be in the same form here, but a 3 lb rise is more than manageable. Won in good style on his return at Bath and he's a big player again off 3lb higher here.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 +14%) Dream Pirate	6 6/1(+14%)	(3) Dream Pirate 6/1, Both wins last year came on soft but wasn't in the same form as on return when mid-field at Wetherby (8f, soft) 19 days ago. Bounce back required. Mixed record since his two wins (1m, soft) last autumn and others are more persuasive.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 +33%) Serious Look	22 22/1(+33%)	(7) Serious Look 22/1, No impact on both starts for this yard this year after leaving George Boughey. Can only be watched. Sole win was in 2022 and he's struggled in both runs for new yard this season.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 -14%) Marsh Benham	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Marsh Benham 8/1, Ungenuine type who is entitled to be all the sharper for his recent Brighton (7f, good) effort returning from 6 months off. Step back up in trip should suit. Three wins last term; may have needed reappearance run and he's in the mix back up in trip.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -106%) Amathus	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Amathus 33/1, Won twice on turf last season and probably needed the run after 6 months off at Brighton (7f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and market check advised. Didn't fire on return last month and all wins have been at shorter trips on fast ground.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 -150%) Baikal	50 50/1(-150%)	(13) Baikal 50/1, Sprung a surprise over hurdles at Worcester last May and doubled his tally at Southwell in September. Added to a patchy record when pulled up at former track later that month and not seen since. Dual hurdle winner but he's 0-11 on the Flat and looks best watched on his return.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 -71%) Landlordtothestars	12 12/1(-71%)	(4) Landlordtothestars 12/1, Won twice over the winter but no longer looks progressive, only fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) just over 6 weeks ago. Back on turf and could be sharper here. Triple AW winner; still unexposed on turf but needs to step up again back in this sphere.
10th	10 10th (10) (80/1 -700%) French Martini	80 80/1(-700%)	(10) French Martini 80/1, Tailed off on both starts since leaving H-F. Devin. Mark tumbling but needs to show plenty more. Seven-race maiden who has failed to beat a rival in both runs for current yard; opposable.
11th	9 11th (9) (33/1 -106%) Unsung Hero	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Unsung Hero 33/1, Standout effort last year came when fourth at Newcastle (7f) in September. Returns from 6 months off and may well need this outing. Generally struggled during light campaign last year and has questions to answer on return.
12th	2 12th (2) (66/1 -164%) Bella Veneta	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Bella Veneta 66/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in a novice at Bath in April 2022 but struggled on both subsequent starts that year. Has plenty to prove returning from 22 months off for a new stable. Still lightly raced but she returns after 664 days off and has lots to prove for new yard.
13th	12 13th (12) (14/1 +30%) Gavi Di Gavi	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Gavi Di Gavi 14/1, Looked back in good form despite the race not being run to suit at Kempton in January but not so good back there the last twice. Has a much lower turf mark to work with so shouldn’t be underestimated. Seven-time AW winner but he's been well held last twice and is 1-11 on turf.

14:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Darvel returned from a 179-day break to go in by a length in a class 6 event at Bath last month and he is likely to be on the premises off 3lb higher. However, he could come out second best to JOHNJAY, who finished four lengths clear of the fourth when hitting the frame on his comeback at Bath. He goes off an unchanged mark and is open to improvement, while Marsh Benham is another to keep an eye on.

DARVEL returned from 6 months off at the top of his game when scoring in decisive fashion at Bath 4 weeks ago and, although his record last season suggests he may not arrive in the same mood, Patrick Chamings' 6-y-o gets the nod ahead of Johnjay, who made a satisfactory return to action when third in a different race on that same card. Gavi di Gavi and Landlordtothestars can fight out third.

This can go to DARVEL (nap), who returned from a break with a win at Bath last month and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair.

14:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 10f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (7/1 +18%) Hosanna Power	7 7/1(+18%)	(12) Hosanna Power 7/1, Made the frame all 3 starts in maidens/minor events, latest when third of 12 at Lingfield (10f, AW, 5/4) in November. Switches to handicaps on return but opening mark could have been kinder. Goes handicapping after showing promise in all three runs (7f-1m2f).
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +10%) Cracksking	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(8) Cracksking 9/2, Opened his account in a Newcastle maiden (10.2f) on final start of 2023 and built on that when fifth of 18 in C&D handicap on return 27 days ago. Likely more to come yet and is one for shortlist. Perhaps needed comeback run; strong suspicion that he has better days ahead of him.
3	10 3rd (10) (50/1 -52%) Winter Reprise	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Winter Reprise 50/1, Disappointed on Flat and over hurdles for current yard and has plenty to prove at present. Formerly smart but current wellbeing is looking a big issue; others safer.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -40%) Sweet Reward	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Sweet Reward 14/1, Won twice last year and looked as good as ever when second in C&D handicap on return last month. Not in same form at Goodwood since but must enter calculations. Modest latest run but ran right up to his best over C&D the time before.
5th	15 5th (15) (28/1 -100%) Moonlit Cloud	28 28/1(-100%)	(15) Moonlit Cloud 28/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Bath (10.2f, heavy, 11/2) earlier this month. Things will be tougher under a 5 lb penalty and is another who would prefer slower ground. Enjoys some cut underfoot but it was a Class 5 handicap in which she stormed clear at Bath.
6th	9 6th (9) (7/2 +30%) Gallant Lion	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(9) Gallant Lion 7/2, Won 4 handicaps on the bounce (at up to 11.6f) for Tony Carroll last summer and got back on the up when posting a good third, on debut for new yard, in C&D handicap last month. Likely contender. Did well for previous yard and made an eyecatching debut for this one here last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 -43%) High Fibre	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) High Fibre 20/1, Improving handicapper when with Ralph Beckett but below best (after 13 months off) for new yard at Ascot this time last year and has to ovecome a further absence now. Lightly raced since 2yo season but ability is respected; first-time tongue-tie.
8th	3 8th (3) (6/1 +29%) Mustazeed	6 6/1(+29%)	(3) Mustazeed 6/1, Won twice over C&D (including this contest) early last season and largely acquitted himself well in defeat thereafter. Capable when fresh but others look better treated. Solid 1m2f handicapper on a fair mark and he won this race 12 months ago.
9th	5 9th (5) (11/1 -29%) Valiabad	11 11/1(-29%)	(5) Valiabad 11/1, Three-time winner in 2022 for M. Delzangles in Francebut wasn't in same form last year and remains to be seen if switch to new yard sparks a revival. Three French wins in 2022; last year's light campaign didn't go so well.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 +0%) Aikhal	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Aikhal 50/1, Failed to beat a rival home in a couple of starts at Wolverhampton this year and is hard to recommend back on turf here. Former Group 3 winner but no sign of that form in five defeats for his current yard.
11th	4 11th (4) (22/1 -144%) Defence Of Fort	22 22/1(-144%)	(4) Defence Of Fort 22/1, Back to winning ways, in first-time hood, when taking 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) in August. Feasibly treated on return and could be a player. Returns off a 4lb higher mark but now has to follow one good run with another.
12th	6 12th (6) (4/1 +20%) Glam De Vega	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Glam De Vega 4/1, Twice a winner in 2022, including on handicap debut at Hamilton (9.2f) 21 months ago. Not seen since but reappears on a workable mark and must enter calculations, particularly if the market vibes are strong. 5yo who has only raced four times, winning last two; top connections persevering.
13th	13 13th (13) (28/1 +30%) Monteria	28 28/1(+30%)	(13) Monteria 28/1, Twice a winner on testing ground last year and should be fitter for last month's course reappearance. Chance would be aided by significant rainfall. Went off 25-1 for C&D reappearance last month and finished behind a few of these.
14th	11 14th (11) (100/1 -52%) Enthrallment	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Enthrallment 100/1, Down the field both starts this year, ninth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) in January, Makes limited appeal, back in trip on first run for new connections. Quiet runs on the AW when last seen and makes stable debut in a warm handicap.

14:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

GLAM DE VEGA was last seen justifying short odds to take the Scottish Trophy at Hamilton in August 2022 and now makes his long-awaited return to action. The son of Lope De Vega is the type his trainer Roger Varian does well with, so he gets the nod in a first-time hood. The main danger might be previous C&D winner Gallant Lion, who made an encouraging start for the Alan King stable when hitting the frame over track and trip last month. Cracksking is another to consider.

Preference is for CRACKSKING, who showed more than enough on his return here last month to suggest a handicap of this nature is within his grasp. Gallant LIon and Glam de Vega rate the principal dangers.

It would be easy to recommend any number of these but the booking of Jamie Spencer heightens interest in the returning HIGH FIBRE.

15:00 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Diligently wasn't disgraced when fourth on his debut at Ascot and, with normal progression, he could have a say. However, a chance is taken on HAAZEEZ, who changed hands for 115,000gns in October last year and he is bred to have plenty of speed. The son of Mehmas has Jamie Spencer booked for his debut and is fancied to make an impact, while any market confidence behind either Jouncy or Wild Clary would be interesting.

DILIGENTLY showed plenty taking on a field of winners when beaten under 2 lengths in a class 2 at Ascot on debut 16 days ago and sets a decent standard up against mostly newcomers. Wild Clary is from a stable with an excellent record in this so is a newcomer to note along with Jouncy and Khafiz.

There are a host of interesting newcomers but MR CHAPLIN and Diligently are preferred after highly encouraging debuts.

10	10 (10) (66/1 -371%) Perennial	66 66/1(-371%)	(10) Perennial 66/1, 240,000 gns Masar gelding. Will need to be really useful to make a winning debut here. 240,000gns yearling; second foal; dam runner-up at 1m (RPR 72).
1	8 1st (8) (80/1 -60%) Monkey Island	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Monkey Island 80/1, Comfortably held in 2 outings last autumn and a likely outsider on return to action. Never threatening last season at Ascot or Newmarket; returns now gelded.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/4 +50%) Mount Teide	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(9) Mount Teide 9/4, Promising type. Fourth of 12 in maiden (25/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 31 days ago, running on. Can be expected to improve. Encouraging Newmarket run as he led 1f out and went down narrowly in a bunched finish.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/4 +25%) Jarraaf	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) Jarraaf 9/4, Zoustar colt who looked a good prospect when winning a 12-runner Kempton novice (6f) on his debut in October. The form has been franked and a 7 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid on return. Comfortably overcame a tricky draw at Kempton and he's got a Group 1 entry at 6f.
4	14 4th (14) (50/1 -213%) Ten Pounds	50 50/1(-213%)	(14) Ten Pounds 50/1, 75,000 gns Ten Sovereigns gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f winner Orazio and useful winner up to 7f Suits You. Dam 7f winner. Best watched on debut unless the betting vibes are strong. 75,000gns yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to five winners; has been gelded.
5th	13 5th (13) (4/1 -14%) Stanage	4 4/1(-14%)	(13) Stanage 4/1, Highly promising sort. 15/2, third of 11 in novice at Doncaster (7f, soft) on debut 21 days ago. Open to significant progress. Made steady headway from the rear to finish third at Doncaster; can improve on that.
6th	12 6th (12) (22/1 -10%) Sheila's Paradise	22 22/1(-10%)	(12) Sheila's Paradise 22/1, 20/1, seventh of 17 in maiden at this course (1m, good, 20/1) on debut 27 days ago. Needs to step up a good deal on that form. Encouraging seventh of 17 on debut here when plenty went wrong.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -40%) Bullet Point	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Bullet Point 14/1, 75,000 gns Advertise colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner El Salvaje and useful 7f winner Pastiche. One of 2 newcomers in here for top stable and Tom Marquand is on this one. 75,000gns 2yo; market informative with his top yard saddling two newcomers.
8th	18 8th (18) (33/1 -267%) Lyraisa	33 33/1(-267%)	(18) Lyraisa 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when fourth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 40/1) on reappearance 29 days ago but the form isn't anything special. Only beaten 6.5l at Newmarket and the winner finished sixth in the 1,000 Guineas.
9th	11 9th (11) (14/1 -56%) Sarmiento Power	14 14/1(-56%)	(11) Sarmiento Power 14/1, €200,000 Churchill colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Masekela and useful 1¼m winner Asoof. Dam 9.5f-1½m winner. Another likely type on paper. The betting should provide more clues. 200,000gns yearling; well related and has to be considered potentially smart.
10th	6 10th (6) (33/1 -106%) Germanic	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Germanic 33/1, 320,000 gns Saxon Warrior gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Hikmaa and 6f winner Inspired Thought, both useful. Dam unraced. Makes paper appeal but jockey bookings suggest Bullet Point is the yard first string. 320,000gns yearling; gelded and perhaps the yard's number two according to jockey bookings.
11th	20 11th (20) (10/1 +9%) Night Lark	10 10/1(+9%)	(20) Night Lark 10/1, 5/2, fourth of 10 in C&D maiden (good to soft) on debut 28 days ago, finishing with running left. Likely to improve for a leading stable which has hit form lately. Fourth in a C&D maiden that's not working out but she's bred to be better than that.
12th	15 12th (15) (100/1 -300%) Zenzic	100 100/1(-300%)	(15) Zenzic 100/1, 50/1, showed ability when fourth of 11 in novice at Doncaster (7f, soft) on debut 21 days ago but the reopposing Stanage was 5 lengths ahead in third. Ran well for a 50-1 chance at Doncaster (7f, soft) but he has 5l to find with Stanage.
13th	7 13th (7) (33/1 +18%) Glam Squad	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Glam Squad 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, first run since leaving William Jarvis when ninth of 17 in maiden at this course (1m, good) 27 days ago. Capable of better at some point but likely outsider here. Definite promise in his two races but probably being readied for handicaps.
14th	2 14th (2) (200/1 -300%) Alshimali	200 200/1(-300%)	(2) Alshimali 200/1, More one for handicaps judged on 2 AW runs 135 days apart. Beaten 12l and 15l in two 1m races on the AW and handicaps will be more like it.
15th	17 15th (17) (250/1 -150%) C'mon Pompey	250 250/1(-150%)	(17) C'mon Pompey 250/1, Study of Man half-sister to several winners, including useful Italian 1m winner Mangiapregaama and 7f winner Blue Cliffs. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Bred to have a future but major surprise where she to strike on debut. 4,800gns 2yo; half-sister to five winners including Mangiapregaama (Italian 1m Listed).
16th	16 16th (16) (33/1 -136%) Al Kuthban	33 33/1(-136%)	(16) Al Kuthban 33/1, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Mariha. Dam, 2-y-o 6f/7f winner, half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Awzaan and winner up to 1m Muteela (both smart). The betting should guide to what's expected from this one on debut. Hannon newcomer; tackling the boys on debut but there's lots to like on paper.
17th	3 17th (3) (250/1 -150%) Ash Wednesday	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Ash Wednesday 250/1, Poor form in 2 outings over 6f and a first-time tongue tie needs to spark major improvement. Has beaten just three rivals in his two starts to date, showing more last time admittedly.
18th	5 18th (5) (25/1 -56%) Ever Driven	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) Ever Driven 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth on Windsor debut in July and actually advanced his form when ninth of 14 in a strong York Ebor meeting maiden the following month. Returns in another warm race. Best to look elsewhere. His York run has worked out well and, now gelded, he's in the mix.
19th	19 19th (19) (200/1 -100%) Maryanne	200 200/1(-100%)	(19) Maryanne 200/1, 66/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 44 days ago. More one for the longer term. Never better than midfield when 66-1 for a 7f maiden at Kempton last month.

15:30 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jarraaf sets the standard having accounted for multiple subsequent winners when scoring on his debut over 6f at Kempton last October. That said, he could be vulnerable under a penalty in this company. With that in mind, marginal preference is for MOUNT TEIDE, who was not beaten far into fourth on his racecourse bow at Newmarket recently and Andrew Balding's gelding is entitled to improve for that experience. Stanage, a full-brother to Calyx and Coppice, is another to consider, while Sarmiento Power and Bullet Point are newcomers to note.

A really interesting novice event. The manner of JARRAAF's Kempton debut success marks him down as potentially smart so he may be up to defying the penalty. Stanage, Mount Teide and Night Lark all showed enough on debut last month to think they'll be winning sooner rather than later. There are also some newcomers from good yards who need keeping an eye on in the betting.

He has to concede a penalty to a wave of relative unknown quantities but JARRAAF did look a smart prospect at Kempton.

16:00 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CLOCKMAKER bumped into the ill-fated subsequent Chester Vase winner Hidden Law when second on his debut over 1m3f here last month and David Simcock's gelding merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. Hosaamm also displayed plenty of ability on his racecourse bow at Salisbury last year and the son of Zoffany is an obvious threat to the selection. St Pancras is arguably the most eye-catching newcomer having cost 100,000gns as a yearling and his dam won at Group 2 level, although Tactician is from the family of Coronet and should not be discounted.

This has all the hallmarks of a deep maiden, with marginal preference for CLOCKMAKER, who was no match for the ill-fated Chester Vase winner Hidden Law over this C&D but it was still a seriously-promising debut. Hosaamm's opening effort has been well advertised since and he's second choice, though Alnayef could be a totally different proposition this time.

Half a dozen have shown plenty of promise and the newcomers are interesting as well. CLOCKMAKER is preferred to Hosaamm.

16:35 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

HOUSTONN was only beaten a short-head at Salisbury two starts ago and was a very close fourth at the same venue on his most recent outing in October. Those performances have earned him a rating of 92 and Richard Hannon's colt will be hard to beat if running to that level. Trouville and Gulf Legend are others with valid form claims but will need to improve to beat the selection. Rhetorical, a 200,000gns half-brother to US Grade 1 winner Rockemperor, has to be noted on his racecourse bow, while Place Of Safety is also shortlisted.

HOUSTONN disappointed on his final 2yo outing but, if back to form on return, he's the one to beat. Trouville is open to improvement and Rhetorical is the pick of the newcomers.

Although no match for the odds-on Space Legend at Leicester, TROUVILLE showed plenty in defeat. Debutant Rhetorical is feared most.

6th	5 6th (5) (11/2 -22%) Papagei	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(5) Papagei 11/2, Promising sort who built on AW reappearance third when just holding on in 1¼m Yarmouth handicap 17 days ago. Enjoyed the run of the race on that occasion but he should remain competitive after only a 3 lb nudge. Off the mark with an all-the-way win at Yarmouth (1m2f) and 3lb rise looks fair; respected.

17:10 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SHOW ME A HERO was sent off favourite for his handicap debut at Yarmouth and finished a promising third, only a length behind a subsequent easy winner. There should be plenty more to come from Michael Bell's gelding and a 1lb drop in the ratings gives him every chance in this open contest. Papagei won at Yarmouth on his latest outing and is an obvious danger, alongside the hat-trick seeking Niloufar.

The way NILOUFAR went about things at Lingfield last time suggests this step up to 1¼m could suit and she can stretch her unbeaten record in handicaps to 3. Show Me A Hero made a positive start to his handicap career at Yarmouth last month and is second choice ahead of Papagei and unexposed handicap newcomer Laura Bay.

The vote goes to PAPAGEI, who raised his form to a new level when making all at Yarmouth and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair.

3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 +65%) Western Stars	7 7/1(+65%)	(1) Western Stars 7/1, Won 3 times since joining his current yard last summer, with his latest success at Lingfield in December. However, has been below form both outings so far this year, albeit in a higher grade on his latest outing. Versatile type who is on workable mark but he's been out of sorts in two runs this spring.
4	11 4th (11) (11/2 -10%) Mrs Twig	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(11) Mrs Twig 11/2, After 6 months off, took a step forward when shedding her maiden tag in 13-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) in April. Back up 4 lb in the weights, but she can remain competitive now that she's up and running. Won at Kempton but this is tougher off 4lb higher and she has mixed record on turf.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -100%) Raintown	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Raintown 20/1, Returned to his best when winning at Lingfield (12f) in January and, after a lesser effort next time, has run creditably at Bath on his last 2 starts. Still looking for his first success on turf but he can give another good account. Fair efforts at Bath last twice but he's now 0-7 on turf and needs to find something extra.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 +14%) Destinado	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Destinado 6/1, Has been thriving for his current yard, recording a sixth success of the year when staying on to lead late in 13-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April. Left poorly placed at Chester last week, so no surprise to see him bounce back. Six wins for James Owen this year and he had an excuse at Chester last week; not ruled out.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 -100%) Lunar Jet	28 28/1(-100%)	(5) Lunar Jet 28/1, Goes well on softer ground and bounced back to winning ways at Redcar (10f, heavy) last April. After a further 6 months off, fared better than on his stable debut when 1½ lengths fifth of 8 at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in April. Others still make more appeal. Suited by slow ground but all of his wins have been at 1m2f and others preferred.
8th	10 8th (10) (7/2 +42%) Cherryhawk	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(10) Cherryhawk 7/2, Fair perfomer at 3yrs and built on the promise of her stable debut when getting off the mark at Chepstow (12f) 3 days ago. Carries a penalty but she's not dismissed lightly on the back of her first victory. Smooth win at Chepstow on Tuesday and she's respected turned out quickly under penalty.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 -175%) Rose Donnelly	33 33/1(-175%)	(12) Rose Donnelly 33/1, Showed more than on her first 2 starts when fourth of 7 in maiden at Kempton (11f) in April, but wasn't able to build on that effort making her turf/handicap debut at Ayr (10f) 15 days ago. Has something to find. Still unexposed but she needs to find more on this step up to 1m4f.
10th	7 10th (7) (33/1 -136%) Militry Decoration	33 33/1(-136%)	(7) Militry Decoration 33/1, Capitalised on a falling mark when overcoming a slow start to score at Southwell (12.1f) in March. Wasn't in the same form at Bath 19 days ago, but he's been placed on both of his previous starts on the Flat at this course Four-time AW winner but he's 1-24 on turf and was laboured at Bath last time.

17:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CHERRYHAWK gets a tentative vote in what looks a fiercely competitive finale. She built on four solid placed efforts when scoring comfortably at Chepstow on Tuesday and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Capstan has won his last three starts on the all-weather and demands respect, although he does have something to prove on turf. Similar can be said of Kempton winner Mrs Twig, while surprise Windsor scorer Naasma is another with claims.

WAXING GIBBOUS made a promising reappearance when runner-up at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, pulling clear of the remainder, and she can build on that effort to go one better. Heading the list of dangers is Capstan as he bids for the 4-timer, while Mrs Twig made a winning return and is also considered.

An open race in which the vote goes to WAXING GIBBOUS, who was a clear second on her handicap debut at Doncaster last month.
