12:07 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +33%) Listentoyourheart	1.5 6/4(+33%)	(2) Listentoyourheart 6/4, Overcame inexperience to make a winning bumper debut at Sedgefield last autumn and has looked good in 2 starts over hurdles, easily landing the odds in a Market Rasen maiden and 4-runner C&D novice (good to soft). Remains open to any amount of improvement and she's a serious player. Easy winner of both hurdles (latterly C&D) and can take step up in class in her stride.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -43%) Rula Bula	10 10/1(-43%)	(8) Rula Bula 10/1, From a good family and left her debut well behind when landing a mares' Warwick bumper last November. Signed 2023/24 campaign off with a good second in Sandown listed bumper and she duly delivered when odds on for her recent hurdles debut at Market Rasen (20.6f, good). Brimming with potential. Useful bumper performer; landed short odds on recent hurdle debut; sure to improve.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 -17%) Jubilee Alpha	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(4) Jubilee Alpha 7/2, Half-sister to bumper winner Four Clean Aces and looked above average when forging clear to make a successful start in a Wincanton in February. Built on that when runner-up in a Grade 2 at the Aintree Grand National meeting (Listentoyourheart back in fifth) and she's an intriguing hurdles debutante. Had Listentoyourheart behind when second in Grade 2 bumper in April; good hurdle prospect.
4	9 4th (9) (9/2 +31%) Walkadina	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(9) Walkadina 9/2, Runner-up both starts in bumpers during the spring and she looked potentially useful when routing the opposition on return/hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft). That form looks decent (the second has already won since) and this 5-y-o does not look out of place at this level. Made all by 13l on 2m Uttoxeter hurdle debut four weeks ago; useful prospect.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -79%) Kitty Foyle	50 50/1(-79%)	(6) Kitty Foyle 50/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat (stays 2m) and bright start over hurdles when landing 9-runner mares' novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) in September. However, she was no match for Listentoyourheart here next time and a 3 lb pull is unlikely to be enough to see her narrow the gap. Winning hurdle debut in September but no match for Listentoyourheart over C&D since.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 +0%) Disco Annie	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Disco Annie 33/1, Has raised her game the last twice, bagging back-to-back 17.2f Carlisle handicaps, latterly doing well to overcome a pace bias in a 9-runner contest in which she narrowly prevailed but probably had more in hand than the margin of victory would suggest. Much more on her plate this time. On a hat-trick after 2m1f Carlisle handicap wins this month; steep rise in grade.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/2 +13%) Sansrisk	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Sansrisk 7/2, Bumper winner who opened hurdles account at the third attempt in a Fairyhouse maiden. Progressed when following up in a Grade 3 at Down Royal (17f, good to soft) earlier this month and, while that wasn't a particularly strong race of its type, she has to enter calculations. Arrives on a hat-trick after maiden/Grade 3 wins this autumn; thereabouts.
8th	7 8th (7) (300/1 -650%) Little Soiree	300 300/1(-650%)	(7) Little Soiree 300/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers for Willie Mullins and while she failed to shine in 5 runs (2 over hurdles) for Paul Nolan, there were more encouraging signs on debut for this yard in a 2m Kempton novice during the spring (in a share of third and keeping on when falling at the final flight). Keeping on in 3rd when falling at last in Kempton novice in March but this is a tough ask.
9th	5 9th (5) (400/1 -220%) Kayf Hope	400 400/1(-220%)	(5) Kayf Hope 400/1, Fetched £55,000 after winning an Irish point in 2022 but she hasn't cut much ice in 3 starts over hurdles so far and is punching well above her weights at this level. Point winner but well held all three outings under rules.

12:07 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Sansrisk sets the standard based on her Grade 3 success at Down Royal at the beginning of the month, but that was not the strongest of contests and she has to carry a 5lb penalty here. With that in mind, preference is for JUBILEE ALPHA, who confirmed her debut promise when second in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree when last seen in April. Her lack of hurdling experience is a concern but the daughter of Flemensfirth could still prove too good. Listentoyourheart was behind the selection in that valuable bumper but her two easy hurdling victories this season earn her a place on the shortlist.

A strong renewal of this listed race, with several highly promising mares on show. LISTENTOYOURHEART was behind Jubilee Alpha in an Aintree bumper during the spring but she has improved since switched to this sphere, winning her two starts over hurdles in the manner of a mare going places. Conversely, Jubilee Alpha has been absent since Aintree, so Dan Skelton's charge holds an edge both in terms of experience and match-fitness. Walkadina is third choice ahead of Rula Bula and Sansrisk.

Dan Skelton's LISTENTOYOURHEART is selected to make it 3-3 over hurdles, with Walkadina perhaps the one to give her most to do.

12:40 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 22f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (11/1 +8%) Wiseguy	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Wiseguy 11/1, Exeter winner last November but off since being pulled up in 3m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in April. Needs to get back on track returned to chasing. Last season fizzled out when the yard had its issues; young enough to bounce back.
2	7 2nd (7) (40/1 -186%) Imperil	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Imperil 40/1, Useful chaser in France. Bit below form 35¾ lengths seventh of 13 to Gran Diose in Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil (29.8f, soft, 26/1). Off 6 months since but potentially well in on best form. Useful chaser in France on his day and does have competitive form over British fences.
3	10 3rd (10) (5/2 +69%) Demnat	2.5 5/2(+69%)	(10) Demnat 5/2, Made light of a 32-month absence on his yard debut when easily landing 5-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft) in February. Didn't fire subsequently but back in trip and fresh could be the time to catch him with stable going well. Lost his way last season but in strong races; still unexposed and 2m6f might be ideal.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -118%) Le Milos	12 12/1(-118%)	(2) Le Milos 12/1, Big improver over fences for this yard in 2022/23, including victory in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Disappointing last season but on a handy mark and should come on for reappearance at Cheltenham a month ago. 2lb lower than when winning today's big chase two years ago; encouraging reappearance.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 -17%) Highstakesplayer	7 7/1(-17%)	(5) Highstakesplayer 7/1, Likeable sort who made it 4-5 over fences in 3m handicap chase at Kempton in April. Solid reappearance when second at Ascot and should be able to make his presence felt again. Career-high second at Ascot last time but seems to save best for right-handed tracks.
6th	6 6th (6) (17/2 -89%) Genois	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) Genois 17/2, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for Enda Bolger in Ireland. Opened his account for this yard in ready fashion at Wetherby last month but jumping might not hold up in this more competitive environment. Useful in Ireland and won nicely over a trip short of his best at Wetherby last time.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -155%) Farceur Du Large	28 28/1(-155%)	(8) Farceur Du Large 28/1, Useful at best in Ireland and won first two starts over fences for this stable earlier this year. Not in same form when last seen 7 months ago but shouldn't be written off. Forget his final run and last season was a positive one for his new yard; mark is okay.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (3/1 +63%) Twinjets	3 3/1(+63%)	(3) Twinjets 3/1, Multiple bumper/hurdles winner who found improvement when making a successful debut for Paul Nicholls over fences at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last December. Back on track here last time and should put up another bold showing. Back to form when second to an improver and that brings him into the reckoning.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/2 +45%) Inch House	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(4) Inch House 11/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who has progressed well for switch to chasing, landing back-to-back handicaps here prior to a solid second at Cheltenham (25.2f). Disappointed subsequently but has joined Paul Nicholls (from Jonjo O'Neill) and top claimer takes the ride. Deserves respect. Big improver last season and won this last year; still only a 7yo; new yard.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (28/1 -100%) Fidelio Vallis	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Fidelio Vallis 28/1, 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft), running on. Off 11 months. Still unexposed for this stable and should be well prepared for this. Last seen winning at Musselburgh on New Year's Day; up 6lb in a deeper race here.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (50/1 -150%) Sizable Sam	50 50/1(-150%)	(9) Sizable Sam 50/1, Three-time winning hurdler who was last seen landing a 4-runner novice chase at Exeter. That was 22 months ago, however, so hard to know what level of ability he retains. Talented but this competitive a race asks plenty of him after so long on the sidelines.

12:40 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

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

LE MILOS has been largely disappointing since winning the Coral Gold Cup two years ago, but he is now 2lb lower than that last winning mark. His last couple of efforts have been more encouraging and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways in this company. Twinjets hit the crossbar over 2m4f at this venue a few weeks ago and should not be underestimated, while Highstakesplayer and Genois are others with strong form claims.

TWINJETS was right back on track when runner-up here last time and may yet have more to offer for Paul Nicholls, so he gets the marginal vote over Highstakesplayer, who filled the same position at Ascot on his latest outing. Demnat is worthy of interest back fresh for an in-form stable.

As competitive as always. DEMNAT was at his best when fresh last season and he's a standout candidate to find significant improvement.

13:15 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/6 +17%) The New Lion	0.666667 4/6(+17%)	(4) The New Lion 4/6, Bred to stay well but showed no shortage of speed when winning a Market Rasen bumper on debut in April. Again looked an excellent prospect on return when scooting clear in 14-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) last month and looks sure to go on to much better things. Clocked a good time at Chepstow and connections already have eyes on some fancy targets.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +0%) Califet En Vol	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Califet En Vol 7/2, Cost plenty after finishing runner-up on his only outing in Irish points and having shaped encouragingly in an Ayr bumper in April, looked a smart prospect when bolting up in 6-runner novice at Kempton (21f, good to soft) on hurdling debut earlier in the month. Rates a very smart prospect. Won in a canter on hurdling debut at Kempton; in top hands and he could be anything.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 +20%) Electric Mason	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Electric Mason 16/1, Point recruit who opened his account in bumpers at Kempton back in February. Stuck to his task nicely when runner-up on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter last month and went one better with a gritty display in 14-runner novice at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) recently. Can progress further. Should appreciate this longer trip but the win was just workmanlike at Fontwell last time.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +20%) French Ship	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) French Ship 4/1, Bumper winner at Haydock in May who built on his hurdling debut promise when winning 11-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) earlier this month, staying on well and by no means yet the finished article. The runner-up that day won at Wetherby earlier this week and he can progress again. Beat a talented mare (won this week) at Chepstow and the pair were miles clear.
5th	3 5th (3) (28/1 -56%) Silver Thorn	28 28/1(-56%)	(3) Silver Thorn 28/1, Reached the frame in 2 bumpers earlier in the year and made a successful hurdle debut in a 2¾m Stratford maiden (heavy) 6 weeks ago. That form was only fair, but he can better it. Lots more needed than at Stratford but he won well and brings potential.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -25%) Springs A Girl	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) Springs A Girl 125/1, A fair bumper winner who put her hurdling debut mishap well behind her (when hooded) in causing an 80/1 shock in 11-runner novice at Stratford (22f, good to soft) last month, sustaining her run to edge ahead close home. Faces a stiff task in this company, however. Shock Stratford winner who has the least convincing form credentials.

13:15 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Cases can be made for all of these, but none more so than THE NEW LION, who created a big impression when winning easily on his hurdling debut over 2m3f at Chepstow a month ago. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to have more improvement forthcoming and he can take this event on his way to bigger targets. Califet En Vol could prove to be the main threat following his 15-length success at Kempton, although Silver Thorn and French Ship should not be discounted.

A pre-Christmas cracker with all six arriving on the back of a recent win, but it's hard to escape the impression THE NEW LION left when scooting clear at Chepstow on hurdling debut last month, so he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record for the red-hot Skelton outfit. Califet en Vol clearly learnt from his bumper effort back in the spring when bolting up on return/hurdling debut at Kempton recently, so he looks the obvious danger, with French Ship taken to fill out third.

Given what Dan Skelton has at his disposal, it's probably significant that his unbeaten THE NEW LION is held in such high regard.

13:54 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +0%) Impose Toi	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Impose Toi 4/1, Progressive hurdler who made a winning return at Cheltenham (16.4f) 12 months ago and likely he'd have followed up had he jumped better when chasing home stablemate Luccia at Ascot (15.7f) a month later. Good third in Lanzarote final start in January and he's of interest on return. Placed in strong handicaps on final two starts despite mistakes; big player on return.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/2 +67%) Guard The Moon	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(11) Guard The Moon 5/2, Came good over hurdles in 23f Hexham maiden in May and followed up in 21f Warwick handicap 5 months later. Raised his game further despite making mistakes when runner-up from 6 lb higher mark at Aintree (24.7f) 3 weeks ago and he looks sure to give another good account. Progressing nicely and another who has to enter the reckoning in this strong handicap.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 +20%) Inthewaterside	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Inthewaterside 4/1, Unbeaten in bumpers and, having landed 2 of his first 3 starts over hurdles, he improved further in defeat last spring, smashing third having forced a strong gallop in 19-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, soft) on final start. Worth considering on return/following wind op. Hood retained. Progressive, most recently third in Aintree handicap in April; had wind op; more to come.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -6%) Anyharminasking	9 9/1(-6%)	(4) Anyharminasking 9/1, Ran up to form when third of 13 in 2m3f handicap at Cheltenham on his reappearance 5 weeks ago, although his finishing effort again wasn't strong even in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Entitled to strip fitter for that and possibilities here (runner-up 12 months ago). Losing run of nine but reappearance third at Cheltenham was encouraging.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 +13%) No Ordinary Joe	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) No Ordinary Joe 14/1, Lightly raced 8-y-o who ended last term in good form, shaping much better than distance beaten suggests when seventh in Martin Pipe at the Festival in March. Record fresh a positive and there's a big handicap in him from this mark this season. Well handicapped and shaped well when last seen; good record fresh; market informative.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/2 +54%) Issam	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(9) Issam 11/2, Consistent sort who scored in the mud at Exeter (18.5f) and Wincanton (2½m) last season. Returned with a rallying fourth in last month's Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f) but his revised mark does demand that little bit more. Back up in trip. Ran well on reappearance considering drop back to 2m not ideal; big contender back at 2m4f.
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 -371%) Hubrisko	66 66/1(-371%)	(3) Hubrisko 66/1, Useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins, well served by front-running tactics when landing 6-runner Killarney maiden chase (23f, soft) in August of last year. Off since but stable's runners rarely lack for fitness and interesting if strong in betting back over timber. Tongue strap refitted. Smart RPR when winning over fences for Willie Mullins in August 2023 but not seen since.
8th	12 8th (12) (10/1 +17%) Gentle Slopes	10 10/1(+17%)	(12) Gentle Slopes 10/1, Bumper winner who had missed a year but showed improved form to get off the mark at third attempt over hurdles in a Kempton novice (2m) in January. Bred to stay this far and he's open to further progress now his sights are set on handicaps/after 10 months off. One of 4 representing Nicky Henderson. Listed bumper winner; scraped home in 2m Kempton novice in Jan; more to come in handicaps.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 -300%) Ivaldi	80 80/1(-300%)	(6) Ivaldi 80/1, Lightly raced 6-y-o who found improvement under a switch to positive tactics when running out a ready winner of 14-runner handicap hurdle at Ascot (21.6f) in spring 2023. Things can't have been plain sailing to be absent subsequently but surprise where he not capable of better still. Useful effort to win Ascot handicap in April 2023 but not seen since.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (22/1 -38%) Spring Note	22 22/1(-38%)	(10) Spring Note 22/1, Bumper winner who made light of a hefty rise in weights and took her record here to 3-3 when successful in 6-runner handicap (16.3f) back in March. Didn't last out back at this sort of trip at Cheltenham (20.2f) on final start in April and this rates a tough enough ask on seasonal bow. Well held at Cheltenham final start but 3-3 course record makes her dangerous to discount.

13:54 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Dan Skelton's yard has won two of the last four renewals and a bold bid is anticipated from LAC DE CONSTANCE. The eight-year-old was launching a strong challenge at Uttoxeter when falling at the last and could be bang there at the finish with a clear round. The consistent Guard The Moon can feature once again after finishing runner-up in a competitive handicap at Aintree, while the headstrong Inthewaterside will likely attempt to dominate from the front.

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty with the narrow vote in favour of IMPOSE TOI. Last seen finishing a good third in the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton in January, he appeals as being on a handy mark and, having won on his reappearance last winter, he could be the way to go. Inthewaterside ran a cracker from the front when placed in a big field handicap at Aintree in the spring and he's a threat. Low-mileage Gentle Slopes and Lac de Constance complete the shortlist.

Several with chances. The suggestion is ISSAM, whose last two efforts represent strong form. \bImpose Toi\ is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (15/2 +46%) Navajo Indy	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(11) Navajo Indy 15/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who made the most of a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles at Wincanton (15.2f) in April. Took his form up a notch when defying a penalty at Bangor 7 months later, though was rather fortunate. Into handicaps now and ought to give his running once more. Goes into deeper waters on handicap debut but is improving steadily and could go well.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +14%) Queens Gamble	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Queens Gamble 6/1, Listed bumper winner for Oliver Sherwood who won all 3 starts over hurdles for this yard last season, latterly in 6-runner listed event at Taunton (16.5f). Off 11 months but will go on improving and opening mark looks potentially lenient. Useful mare who has Listed-winning form in bumpers and over hurdles; 3-3 in this sphere.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 +21%) Our Champ	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Our Champ 11/1, Returned to his best with a recent run behind when coming out on top in a close finish in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ascot (15.7f, good) 28 days ago, despite rider dropping his whip on the run-in. Prevailed narrowly at Ascot four weeks ago; faces stiffer task off career-high mark.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +10%) Salver	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Salver 9/1, Developed into a very useful juvenile hurdler last term, winning his first 4 starts in the mud before posting a fine third in Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham final run. One to consider on his return. Useful juvenile hurdler last season, third in the Triumph on final start; possibilities.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/3 +26%) Jeriko Du Reponet	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(4) Jeriko Du Reponet 10/3, Successful sole start in points and looked a fine prospect when winning his 3 starts over hurdles, including a Grade 2 at Doncaster. Pulled up in Supreme at Cheltenham and played up beforehand when running no sort of race on chasing bow at Sandown on return. Still of interest back over hurdles. Perhaps best to forgive last two runs; unbeaten previously and is 2-2 over C&D; respected.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 -29%) Liari	9 9/1(-29%)	(6) Liari 9/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France and similar form when winning all 3 starts in juvenile hurdles for this yard, latterly at Musselburgh in February. Held back by jumping in Fred Winter at Cheltenham but shaped well when third at Chepstow (2m) on return and interesting with that under his belt. 3-4 in juvenile hurdles last term; likely to improve on Chepstow reappearance effort.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 -67%) The Famous Five	20 20/1(-67%)	(10) The Famous Five 20/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France who was going the right way over hurdles when last seen, readily landing handicaps at Leicester in January and Bangor in March. Has an 8-month absence to overcome in a deeper race but could have more to offer for a yard that has clicked into gear lately. Ended his 2023-24 campaign with two comfortable wins; open to further improvement.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 +64%) Ballybentragh	18 18/1(+64%)	(8) Ballybentragh 18/1, Irish point winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Sandown in January. Good efforts under a penalty next 2 starts prior to facing a stiff task in Aintree Grade 1. Opening mark not overly generous but he has the physique to go on improving this season, not least when sent chasing. Possibly not crying out for this marked drop back in distance; others preferred.
9th	12 9th (12) (11/1 -38%) Excelero	11 11/1(-38%)	(12) Excelero 11/1, Chased home Salver at Warwick on debut then Sir Gino at Cheltenham (fourth) before making the most of a good opportunity back down in grade at Market Rasen in March. Still looked raw when third under a penalty at Kempton on final outing and remains with potential. Unexposed 4yo who has solid form and looks attractively treated; interesting contender.
10th	9 10th (9) (9/1 +25%) Aston Martini	9 9/1(+25%)	(9) Aston Martini 9/1, Bumper winner who also landed her first 2 starts over hurdles last winter. Possibly unsuited by more testing conditions when a remote fourth in Sandown Grade 2 in February and resumed her progress sent handicapping when runner-up at Bangor (19.6f) recently, still finding when jinking at the last. 3-4 in her first season last term; ran well at Bangor on reappearance; may improve further.
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 -213%) Castelfort	50 50/1(-213%)	(13) Castelfort 50/1, Showed fairly useful form when winning a pair of juvenile events last season. Found his good run of form coming to a halt on handicap debut at Sandown on final outing and reappears in a strong-looking event. May still have more to offer but David Noonan prefers stablemate Excelero.
12th	7 12th (7) (11/1 +21%) Ooh Betty	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Ooh Betty 11/1, Three wins last season, including a Hereford handicap, and ended her campaign with a series of good placed efforts. Has a breathing operation prior to making a successful reappearance in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (2m) but this will require another step forward. Won at Sandown on seasonal debut; consistent but faces a tougher task off new mark.
13th	2 13th (2) (12/1 +40%) Ballee	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Ballee 12/1, Impressed when winning a brace of 2m Taunton novices last term and ran a cracker when second on handicap bow at Aintree in April, displaying a great attitude. Pulled up at Haydock when last seen but almost certainly found that coming too soon and returns with yard in fine form. Had breathing op. Absent since pulled up in the Swinton (had wind surgery soon after); market helpful.

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

JERIKO DU REPONET disappointed at Sandown on his reappearance but Nicky Henderson's charge looks worth another chance. A Grade 2 novice hurdle winner, he can enhance his lofty reputation by bouncing back to form on the switch to timber. Liari will likely be sharper for his third at Chepstow and looks on a workable mark, while Queens Gamble is worth noting on her handicap debut having won all three starts over hurdles so far including a Listed event at Taunton. Salver could also go well despite carrying top weight.

BALLEE showed plenty of ability over hurdles last season, including when shaping best in a big-field handicap at Aintree in the spring and, with his final run at Haydock easily excused, he's an appealing candidate returning with his yard firmly amongst the winners. Unbeaten hurdler Queens Gamble has an 11-month absence to overcome but her opening BHA mark could easily underestimate her, while Our Champ won in a good time at Ascot and completes the shortlist.

In a competitive Gerry Feilden the vote goes to interesting 4yo EXCELERO, ahead of Liari who is a similar type.

15:00 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 1) 26f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (8/1 +6%) Kandoo Kid	8 8/1(+6%)	(9) Kandoo Kid 8/1, Won a 2½m course handicap last December. Ended his season with fine placed efforts in Greatwood here (2½m again) and Topham at Aintree (21f). Ran poorly on previous attempt at 3m but the way he stuck on in the Topham suggests longer trips should be within range this season. Has had wind surgery. Consistent novice chaser last season; record of 212 at Newbury bodes well; respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +43%) Broadway Boy	4 4/1(+43%)	(7) Broadway Boy 4/1, Three wins in a productive novice chase campaign, including a valuable staying handicap at Cheltenham. Reappeared with a respectable 12¼ lengths third of 14 to Senior Chief there (25f, good) 35 days ago. Should improve with Cheltenham reappearance under his belt; the type to win a big prize.
3	12 3rd (12) (5/1 +29%) Victtorino	5 5/1(+29%)	(12) Victtorino 5/1, French import who won back to back over 3m at Ascot for Venetia Williams at this time last year, latterly the valuable Silver Cup. Ended his campaign with a disappointing run at the Cheltenham Festival but no surprise were he to resume his progression back from a break with the yard going well. Record last season suggests this is the time to catch him; interesting on reappearance.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +25%) General En Chef	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) General En Chef 9/1, Smart French chaser who was back to his best when third in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil in May. Two good runs at Compiegne this autumn, including a Group 3 win. Looks on a feasible mark for his first run in Britain. Trained in France; has a record of 3-6 since joining current yard; could go well.
5th	13 5th (13) (12/1 0%) Henry's Friend	12 12/1(0%)	(13) Henry's Friend 12/1, Recorded a hat-trick in novice chases last season, including a Grade 2 at Ascot. Pulled up in National Hunt Chase on final outing and last of 4 in 3m course handicap on reappearance 23 days ago. The return to fences should suit but others have less to prove. Remains open to further progress back over fences; 3-5 in this sphere and has won here.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 +36%) Senior Chief	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(3) Senior Chief 9/2, Useful hurdler and quickly made up into a better chaser, bouncing back from a flop in the Irish Grand National when making a winning reappearance in 25f Cheltenham handicap 5 weeks ago. That was only his fifth start over fences so surprise if there isn't more to come. A must for the shortlist. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Cheltenham on reappearance; may have more to offer.
7th	11 7th (11) (14/1 -40%) Galia Des Liteaux	14 14/1(-40%)	(11) Galia Des Liteaux 14/1, Listed/Graded winner who showed she can also mix it in competitive handicaps when second in the Classic Chase at Warwick (19f) in January. Shaped well when second in 2½m Carlisle mares' listed chase on reappearance and the step back up in trip is sure to suit. Considered. Good staying mare; Welsh National is apparently the main aim but she's not dismissed.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 -50%) Grandero Bello	33 33/1(-50%)	(8) Grandero Bello 33/1, Doubled his tally over fences when making light of an 8-month absence in 22.5f Galway handicap 5 weeks ago. The form has been boosted by the third winning since. Better than ever at Galway last month; faces a stiffer task off new mark in this field.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 0%) Horantzau D'airy	12 12/1(0%)	(4) Horantzau D'airy 12/1, Won twice over fences in the spring and has shown better form in defeat this season, finishing runner-up in Kerry and Munster Nationals (both 3m) on his last 2 outings. Merits plenty of respect for his top Irish stable. Good second in the Kerry National and Munster National; threatening to win a major race.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (33/1 +0%) Remastered	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Remastered 33/1, Runner-up in this race in 2022. Last season was a write-off (including pulled up in this) but he bounced back to form to take advantage of his reduced mark on his Wincanton reappearance in October. Still going okay when fell 4 out in Badger Beer back there since. Has a mixed record (F2P) in this contest and now has the age stats against him.
10th	1 10th (1) (16/1 +52%) Sam Brown	16 16/1(+52%)	(1) Sam Brown 16/1, Smart veteran chaser who won 3m handicaps at Warwick and Ascot last season. Returned with a fine third in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby 4 weeks ago. Visor refitted now. Plenty to admire about his enthusiasm but some performance will be needed to defy top weight as he approaches his 13th birthday. Gained both wins last term in veterans' events; no 12yo has won this prize.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 -11%) Colonel Harry	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Colonel Harry 10/1, Likeable type who took the Grade 2 Towton novice at Wetherby (2½m) last winter. Sound reappearance run in a Carlisle Listed event 4 weeks ago, shaping as if a return to a left-handed track will suit (jumped left). His stamina is an unknown but his trainer knows what it takes to win this. Very similar to last year's winner, for the same connections; interesting contender.
12th	2 12th (2) (28/1 -100%) Midnight River	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Midnight River 28/1, Signed off a fine 2022/23 season by landing 25f Grade 3 handicap at the Aintree Grand National meeting. Off for 11 months after a fall in this race last year but shaped as if retaining his ability when third of 4 in 19f Wetherby handicap 4 weeks ago. Has first-time cheekpieces added to tongue strap. Fell in this race last year and Harry Skelton prefers the stable's other runner.

15:00 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 1) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Jamie Snowden bids for back-to-back victories in the contest with COLONEL HARRY, who boasts a very similar profile to Datsalrightgino having raced over shorter trips last season. A Grade 2 winner of the Towton at Wetherby, his form tailed off in the spring before making an ideal return to action when runner-up in the Colin Parker at Carlisle. The seven-year-old may have a bigger performance in the locker now stepping up in trip. Cheltenham winner Senior Chief is 10lb worse off with Broadway Boy (third) but a drying surface may not suit the latter and the main threat to the selection is Victtorino, who won fresh last season at Ascot and represents a stable which enjoyed a trio of big-race winners last Saturday.

Venetia Williams has her team in form so perhaps the reappearing VICTTORINO, who has gone well fresh before, can take advantage of a mark which has dipped to only 1 lb higher than when landing another valuable handicap last December. Senior Chief should have more to offer on the back of last month's Cheltenham success and is second choice ahead of Galia des Liteaux.

It's worth siding with KANDOO KID (nap), who brings lots of positives. Colonel Harry is second choice, ahead of Victtorino.
