1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +56%) Captain Teague		2 2/1(+56%)																															(2) Captain Teague 2/1, Third in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and has translated all that ability to hurdles, winning Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow on first attempt and good 1½ lengths second to Minella Missile (received 5 lb) in another Grade 2 at Cheltenham since. Top yard has excellent recent record in this race. Has Grade 2 hurdles form; top on ratings and his trainer has an excellent Challow record.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +31%) Lookaway		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(5) Lookaway 11/2, Grade 2 bumper winner. It took a couple of starts for him to click over hurdles but he's been most progressive this season, completing a hat-trick in Cheltenham Grade 2 in October. Even better form when 2½ lengths second of 15 to Iberico Lord in Greatwood back at Cheltenham since. Has done well this season, good second in major 2m handicap at Cheltenham most recently.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 -67%) The Jukebox Man		20 20/1(-67%)																															(7) The Jukebox Man 20/1, Point winner who has made an excellent start under Rules, winning a bumper and 2 hurdles (all Ffos Las on testing ground). This a steep rise in grade but he's earned himself a shot at something better. Latest win brought up a Ffos Las hat-trick; his limitations are not yet exposed.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 +7%) Johnnywho		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(4) Johnnywho 13/2, Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags back in October 2021 and has looked a good prospect when taking a Taunton bumper and 2½m Carlisle novice hurdle on his 2 starts under Rules. This a big step up in class but he could be capable of a lot better. Very promising; has easily justified favouritism in all three runs; interesting contender.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 +0%) Masaccio		8 8/1(+0%)																															(6) Masaccio 8/1, Useful bumper winner who returned from 6 months off to make a successful start over hurdles in maiden at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) in October. Better form when narrowly denied in C&D novice (good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Open to further progress. Went very close over C&D four weeks ago; consistent sort who could go well again.
8	8 |PU| (8) (9/4 -50%) Willmount		2.25 9/4(-50%)																															(8) Willmount 9/4, Expensive winning pointer who followed suit on both bumper outings last season and again looked something out of the ordinary when easily seeing off 12 rivals on his 2m course hurdle debut in November. Exciting prospect. Highly promising; impressive here last month on debut for Nicky Henderson; still unbeaten.
3	3 |PU| (3) (20/1 -100%) Farnoge		20 20/1(-100%)																															(3) Farnoge 20/1, Runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points and 3-3 under Rules, namely a Uttoxeter bumper in March and novice hurdles at Newton Abbot and Ascot (2¾m) in recent months. Type to carry on improving but Harry Cobden sides with Captain Teague this time. 3-3 under rules; may put up a bold show, for all that Harry Cobden prefers Captain Teague.
9	9 |PU| (9) (150/1 -200%) Brave Jen		150 150/1(-200%)																															(9) Brave Jen 150/1, Showed improved and fairly useful form when narrowly denied in a 2m course listed event last month but still a maiden and she'll need to improve significantly for the longer trip if her first success is to arrive in this Grade 1 contest. Ran well in mares' Listed event here last time but this is a much tougher assignment.
1	1 |PU| (1) (250/1 -150%) Bullets Hill		250 250/1(-150%)																															(1) Bullets Hill 250/1, Imposing sort who showed fairly useful form when winning 2 bumpers last season but disappointing in 2 hurdle starts this winter. Dual bumper winner; soundly beaten in two races over hurdles; stiff task.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Newbury Novices Hurdle (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Paul Nichols trained the last three winners of this race and again plays a strong hand with Captain Teague, who steps up in class after a shock defeat when favourite for a Grade 2 hurdle at Cheltenham last month, and the progressive Farnoge, who is as yet unbeaten under Rules. However, Nicky Henderson has a real live-wire on his hands in the shape of WILLMOUNT, who was highly impressive on his hurdles/stable debut here last month. Having also won a point-to-point and two bumpers for previous connections, this son of Blue Bresil has already proven to be versatile and is fancied to take the step up in class and trip in his stride.

Paul Nicholls can land this Grade 1 for the fourth year in succession courtesy of CAPTAIN TEAGUE, who has made a really bright start to his hurdle career at Grade 2 level in recent months. Willmount looks highly talented and is feared most ahead of Greatwood runner-up Lookaway.

Exciting prospect JOHNNYWHO gets the vote ahead of Willmount, another unbeaten contender. Captain Teague is also respected.

1	4 1st (4) (17/2 +15%) Henry's Friend		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(4) Henry's Friend 17/2, Made a winning debut over hurdles at Aintree last season and doubled his tally at Doncaster (19.4f) in March. After 8 months off, showed aptitude for chasing when mid-field at the latter course a fortnight ago, so he's entitled to do better with his recent run behind him. 2-6 over hurdles; just a respectable fifth on chasing debut but may come on for the run.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +29%) Walking On Air		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(2) Walking On Air 5/2, Gained a second win over hurdles in Exeter handicap (23.1f) in February, before a good fifth in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Made late mistakes when ninth at Punchestown in April, but he appeals as the type to make a chaser so could resume his progress on his return. Very useful handicap hurdler last season; looks very interesting on today's chasing debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/4 +45%) Passing Well		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(6) Passing Well 11/4, Won twice over hurdles for current yard last season and has quickly developed into a better chaser, showing a good attitude when making his second start over fences a winning one at Lingfield (20f) a month ago. Leading contender with further progress to come. Fended off a next-time-out winner to score at Lingfield last month; can progress again.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +11%) Ballycamus		4 4/1(+11%)																															(8) Ballycamus 4/1, Dual hurdles winner (including at this course) and, having been shaping up well after a break, made a successful switch to chasing in Chepstow handicap (19.4f) 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead run-in. Can makes his presence felt with more to offer over fences. Kept on stoutly to win on chasing debut at Chepstow; this will be tougher from 2lb wrong.
5th	3 5th (3) (17/2 -6%) Neon Moon		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(3) Neon Moon 17/2, Strong traveller who returned better than ever to open his account over fences in handicap at Ludlow (23.8f) in October. Hasn't found as much as looked likely both starts since, though, fifth of 8 at Ascot (21f) on his latest outing. Others look stronger. Good winner at Ludlow on seasonal debut but not quite in same form again since.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -150%) Lubeat Foras		25 25/1(-150%)																															(7) Lubeat Foras 25/1, Point winner who made a successful Rules debut in a Sedgefield bumper. Placed all 3 starts in maiden hurdles in 2021/22 and, after 22 months off, was still just in front when unseating rider usual 4 out at Ffos Las (19.4f) on chase debut 18 days ago. More needed. Placed all three hurdling starts but, after a long absence, didn't get far on chase debut.
1	1 |PU| (1) (15/2 -114%) Golden Son		7.5 15/2(-114%)																															(1) Golden Son 15/2, Smart juvenile hurdler in France and, after 19 months off, shaped encouragingly when runner-up on his stable debut in novice chase at Warwick (20f) in November. Below-par effort at Aintree next time, but could bounce back with tongue strap reapplied on his handicap bow over fences. Struggled on bad ground last time but his British debut in November was very promising.

15:35 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Passing Well and Ballycamus both come into this on the back of winning performances and enter calculations, while Neon Moon might find this is a tad easier than the race he contested at Ascot last month and commands respect. However, GOLDEN SON is surely better than he could muster on heavy ground in a Class 2 beginners' chase at Aintree earlier this month. A Grade 2 winner over hurdles during his time in France, the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding was runner-up in a deeper race than this at Warwick on his penultimate start and looks worth another chance here.

PASSING WELL has made a bright start over fences, going one better than on his chase debut when scoring in game fashion at Lingfield a month ago. He can continue his progress to follow up over this longer trip, though Walking On Air possesses the physique for chasing and isn't taken lightly, while Golden Son remains capable of better in this sphere.

Another chance is given to GOLDEN SON, who struggled on bad ground last time but can now build upon his very promising British debut.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
