The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Wild Max 2.25/1, Useful hurdler ran close to his best when second at Ludlow 37 days ago. Didn't convince on his only other start over fences midway through last season but should prove capable of better.
2
2nd (1) (0.36/1 +28%) Hang In There
0.36/1(+28%)
(1) Hang In There 0.36/1, Smart hurdler won twice in that sphere last summer and wasn't completely disgraced under top weight in a strong Aintree handicap last time. Clumsy jumper of hurdles but the one to beat if keeping errors to a minimum on chase debut.
3
3rd (2) (50/1 -25%) Treacys Jim
50/1(-25%)
(2) Treacys Jim 50/1, Long-standing maiden over hurdles/fences and is impossible to fancy against 2 significantly superior rivals.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Newton Abbot Maiden Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(3) Eritage 2.25/1, Dual handicap chase winner in 2020/21, including over C&D. Ran to similar level when fourth here next time but below form on only 2 starts since dropped back in trip. Can bounce back in tongue tie.
2
2nd (4) (2.25/1 +44%) Goa Lil
2.25/1(+44%)
(4) Goa Lil 2.25/1, Gained a fourth handicap win of a busy campaign when successful in 3-runner chase at Fontwell (17.8f) in March. Not in the same form back there (21.6f) 10 days later though. Back up in grade.
|F|
|F| (1) (5/1 -186%) Rouge Vif
5/1(-186%)
(1) Rouge Vif 5/1, High-class chaser at best for Harry Whittington. However, has failed to finish off his 3 races for new yard having had 2 further breathing operations. Down in grade but question marks at present.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Falco Blitz
2.25/1(+18%)
(2) Falco Blitz 2.25/1, Right back on track when landing 20.5f handicap chase at Kempton in January but well held both starts since. Pulled up over hurdles at same course in March so needs to put those 2 efforts behind him.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(1) Largy G 0.17/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap (Final) at Newbury (20.5f, good) 32 days ago, leading 1f out and ridden out. That looks good form, and she's the one to beat under a penalty.
2
2nd (7) (4/1 +27%) Sweet Moon
4/1(+27%)
(7) Sweet Moon 4/1, Spanish Moon filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winning hurdler/useful chaser Prengarde and useful French chaser Confuceen. Runner-up in 4-runner event sole start in points (Mar 20). Respected newcomer from top stable.
3
3rd (4) (80/1 +68%) Lady Wolf
80/1(+68%)
(4) Lady Wolf 80/1, Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 runs and easily passed over back in novice company.
4
4th (3) (16/1 +0%) Hana Collonges
16/1(+0%)
(3) Hana Collonges 16/1, Fetched £55,000 as a 3-y-o and out of a sister to useful hurdler/chaser Robinson Collonges, but hasn't achieved much in a bumper/pair of maiden hurdles.
5th
5th (2) (66/1 -32%) Cuchaviva
66/1(-32%)
(2) Cuchaviva 66/1, Showed a bit more than previously when third in 5-runner novice at Chepstow (23.6f, good) 16 days ago, but that's not saying much in truth.
|F|
|F| (6) (80/1 +20%) Echo Of Promise
80/1(+20%)
(6) Echo Of Promise 80/1, Modest maiden hurdler at best who was again well held on first run since leaving Jack R. Barber in maiden hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft, 50/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(6) Greystoke 3/1, Fairly useful on the Flat at up to 1¼m. Improved on hurdling debut form when third in a Hereford juvenile (16.2f) 40 days ago and probably has a bigger effort in him if he learns to settle.
2
2nd (1) (1.75/1 -111%) Duke Of Bronte
1.75/1(-111%)
(1) Duke Of Bronte 1.75/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) in 2017/18 and clearly fitter for hurdling debut after a lengthy absence when getting off the mark at Doncaster in March. Well held in a much deeper race at Aintree and has since rejoined Rod Millman after leaving Dan Skelton.
3
3rd (4) (50/1 +50%) Olly's Folly
50/1(+50%)
(4) Olly's Folly 50/1, Poor maiden on Flat and just similar form over hurdles.
4
4th (3) (1.2/1 +47%) Toronto
1.2/1(+47%)
(3) Toronto 1.2/1, Fairly useful at best on Flat and ran to a similar level to make second hurdle start a winning one at Wincanton (15.2f) 24 days ago, pushed out. Looks capable of defying a penalty.
5th
5th (7) (33/1 +67%) Norman Kindu
33/1(+67%)
(7) Norman Kindu 33/1, Fair Flat winner but well beaten both starts over hurdles.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (200/1 +0%) Gracefull Dancer
200/1(+0%)
(5) Gracefull Dancer 200/1, No sign of ability in bumpers. Hood added for hurdle debut.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (250/1 -25%) Vendange
250/1(-25%)
(8) Vendange 250/1, Well held sole start on Flat for Richard Hannon and no promise in novice/maiden hurdle.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(8) Valentino 3.33/1, Successful in handicaps over C&D and at Taunton in the autumn but this looks a much sterner task racing from out of handicap after a 5-month absence.
2
2nd (4) (2.25/1 +25%) Skatman
2.25/1(+25%)
(4) Skatman 2.25/1, Won novices here and at Musselburgh in 2021 but has found life tougher in handicaps and doesn't look to have been given enough relief by the handicapper to become of major interest.
3
3rd (6) (1.38/1 +39%) The Macon Lugnatic
1.38/1(+39%)
(6) The Macon Lugnatic 1.38/1, Laboured over fences last term but has found the switch back to hurdling in his favour, another good effort when fifth of 14 at Haydock last month. Shortlisted.
4
4th (7) (25/1 -108%) Ennistown
25/1(-108%)
(7) Ennistown 25/1, Won a Fakenham hunter chase in March 2021 but veteran is surely best watched back hurdling for new yard after 12-month absence.
5th
5th (5) (80/1 -21%) Wearapinkribbon
80/1(-21%)
(5) Wearapinkribbon 80/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland in autumn 2020 for Willie Mullins but didn't go on from that and offered little on stable debut at Wincanton last month.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (8/1 +11%) Ratfacemcdougall
8/1(+11%)
(2) Ratfacemcdougall 8/1, Won 5 times for Graeme McPherson in 2020/21 but rather went through the motions last season and now has something to prove, despite attractive mark.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Romain De Senam 1.1/1, Smart chaser at best who has been finding his way for David Pipe after an 11-month absence. Failed to stay when tenth in Grand National before second in 3m Uttoxeter handicap 4 days ago. Major player.
2
2nd (5) (5.5/1 +39%) From The Heart
5.5/1(+39%)
(5) From The Heart 5.5/1, Dual handicap chase winner in 2020/21 and added to his tally at Exeter (24.3f) in October. However, has lost his way since then so return of a tongue tie needs to have a major effect.
3
3rd (3) (2/1 +0%) Seddon
2/1(+0%)
(3) Seddon 2/1, Scored over hurdles at Lingfield in November and back to form when second at Newcastle in March, before doubling his tally over fences in handicap here (21f) 18 days ago. Respected.
4
4th (2) (8/1 -33%) Real Steel
8/1(-33%)
(2) Real Steel 8/1, Dual 2½m Grade 2 winner for Willie Mullins in 2019/20 but operating well below that level nowadays, Has fallen a long way in the weights as a result but has enough to prove in 1st time blinkers.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(4) Sweet Nightingale 4.5/1, Showed signs of ability in maiden/novice company and took a step forward on handicap debut at Taunton (16.5f) last month. Remains lightly raced and can continue her progress stepped up in trip.
2
2nd (8) (10/1 +17%) Gibraltarian
10/1(+17%)
(8) Gibraltarian 10/1, Found some improvement to open her account in novice handicap over C&D last summer. Has gone the wrong way in 3 starts since though, found to have bled when pulled up here back in September.
3
3rd (5) (4.5/1 +75%) Maroochi
4.5/1(+75%)
(5) Maroochi 4.5/1, Modest form in bumpers and has run to a similar level over hurdles. No impression when seventh of 14 in handicap at Wincanton last time. Back up in trip.
4
4th (6) (3/1 -9%) Karannelle
3/1(-9%)
(6) Karannelle 3/1, Sixteen runs since last success in 2019, but ran one of better races returning from 5 months off behind a thriving winner at Hereford recently. Major player if backing that up.
5th
5th (9) (16/1 +68%) Hot Smoked
16/1(+68%)
(9) Hot Smoked 16/1, Showed little on first 3 starts for current yard over fences, but stopped the slide after 3 months off/in 1st time cheekpieces when fourth in maiden hurdle at Exeter 20 days ago. Tongue tie back on.
6th
6th (3) (12/1 -9%) Triple Nickle
12/1(-9%)
(3) Triple Nickle 12/1, Fair dual-purpose performer. Runner-up over hurdles at Stratford in October but hasn't built on that effort since. Down in weights as a result though and can get back on track over this longer trip.
7th
7th (10) (10/1 +70%) Miss Marette
10/1(+70%)
(10) Miss Marette 10/1, Appeared to take a step forward on third start in bumpers at Taunton last spring, but remains with little form over hurdles so it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
8th
8th (2) (7/1 -180%) Blue Bikini
7/1(-180%)
(2) Blue Bikini 7/1, Made the frame 3 times in bumpers for Stuart Edmunds. Won second start over hurdles for new yard in Plumpton maiden in November, but found it tough in listed race next time. Makes handicap debut.
9th
9th (1) (50/1 -614%) Hashtag Val
50/1(-614%)
(1) Hashtag Val 50/1, Fair form when third in a juvenile hurdle at Fontainebleau (17.6f) last October but has shown little in 3 starts for her current yard, pulled up on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m) in December.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (10/1 +38%) Kimarelli
10/1(+38%)
(7) Kimarelli 10/1, Showed bit more than on her first 2 starts when sixth of 10 in mares' novice at Chepstow (2m) in March. However, failed to progress on handicap debut at Exeter (23.1f) 20 days ago. Back down in trip.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Camembert Electric 1.62/1, Improved when getting off mark at Wetherby in February and caught eye when finishing strongly at Chepstow (16f) last time. Step back up in trip is a plus and she's the one to beat.
2
2nd (9) (9/1 +10%) Little Jessture
9/1(+10%)
(9) Little Jessture 9/1, Won a bumper here on debut in 2020 but has shown nothing positive since and is tough to warm to on handicap debut.
3
3rd (2) (9/1 -29%) Subway Surf
9/1(-29%)
(2) Subway Surf 9/1, Long-standing maiden over hurdles. Looked in need of run on return from absence at Ffos Las last time and isn't fully discounted from a mark that is gradually edging down.
4
4th (3) (10/1 -11%) Branson Missouri
10/1(-11%)
(3) Branson Missouri 10/1, Impressed when scoring at Uttoxeter in December and ran well again when second at Wincanton in March. Ran poorly last time but merits respect on the balance of her best form.
5th
5th (1) (9/1 -125%) Shore Shanty
9/1(-125%)
(1) Shore Shanty 9/1, Yet to really progress from her hurdling debut victory in November 2020, though ran a fair race on sole chase start when last seen. Makes handicap hurdle debut in modest contest and should go close.
6th
6th (6) (3/1 +50%) Poet's Reflection
3/1(+50%)
(6) Poet's Reflection 3/1, Won at Taunton in 2020/21 and good there last month. Frame claims again from same mark.
7th
7th (8) (25/1 +0%) Ivy Avenue
25/1(+0%)
(8) Ivy Avenue 25/1, Little impact over hurdles, including on handicap debut last time, and looks impossible to make a case for.
8th
8th (7) (10/1 -11%) Tiki Fire
10/1(-11%)
(7) Tiki Fire 10/1, Twice placed in juvenile maidens last season but didn't make any impact on handicap debut (20f) last time and others are easier to fancy.
9th
9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Nostalgica
33/1(-32%)
(4) Nostalgica 33/1, Modest maiden on Flat and remains with only one significant effort over hurdles, when second at Taunton on debut. No better for wind-op when behind at Chepstow last time and is hard to fancy again.

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.
