1	2 1st (2) (7/4 +30%) Winterwatch		1.75 7/4(+30%)																															(2) Winterwatch 7/4, Three-time winner on the Flat and though 0-11 over hurdles he has posted several creditable efforts in this sphere, including when fourth in a 16-runner Taunton handicap (16.5f, good) last month. Wouldn't need to improve much for the addition of cheekpieces in order to take this. 0-11 over hurdles but placed on final two starts last season; cheekpieces now added.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -200%) Culligran		10 10/1(-200%)																															(5) Culligran 10/1, Unplaced both completed starts in points but some promise in pair of maiden/novice hurdles last month. Needs to raise her game now pitched into a handicap. Unexposed mare who shaped with significant promise when fourth on rules debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 -50%) Lost In The Mist		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(3) Lost In The Mist 15/2, Modest in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher but, having showed a bit on hurdles debut for new yard in a Southwell seller, he took a big step forward when second in a Chepstow maiden (2m, good). This stiffer test should suit now handicapping and he's one to consider. Kept on for second in Chepstow maiden last month; further progress possible in handicaps.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -40%) Bears Hug		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Bears Hug 28/1, Successful twice on the Flat in Ireland (both on polytrack) but well held in that sphere when last seen in October and he hasn't shown much in 7 starts over hurdles. Probably best watched on debut for new yard. 0-7 over hurdles in Ireland; out of form on the Flat in the autumn; stable debut today.
5th	7 5th (7) (6/1 +50%) Hour Star		6 6/1(+50%)																															(7) Hour Star 6/1, Runner-up on the first of his 2 starts in bumpers and while he's failed to get competitive in half-a-dozen runs over hurdles to date, there's a good chance that he'll be seen in a better light now handicapping. 0-6 over hurdles; tends to spoil chance with sketchy jumping and by refusing to settle.
6th	10 6th (10) (50/1 -52%) Angus De Bull		50 50/1(-52%)																															(10) Angus De Bull 50/1, Is yet to show any worthwhile form and he's a long way out of the weights back from a lengthy absence. Struggled off lowly marks in three handicaps towards end of 2022; back from layoff today.
1	1 |PU| (1) (5/1 -67%) Light Em Up Nigel		5 5/1(-67%)																															(1) Light Em Up Nigel 5/1, Runner-up 5 times from 7 starts over hurdles but absent since misfiring (did too much too soon) at Market Rasen on Boxing Day 2022. Chances are he'll come on for the run. Has fitness to prove after 511-day absence but resumes on a tempting mark.
9	9 |PU| (9) (7/1 +0%) Grandmaster Flash		7 7/1(+0%)																															(9) Grandmaster Flash 7/1, Three-time AW winner on the Flat but no real impact in his 5 starts over hurdles (unseated rider at the first last time). Best to look elsewhere. Just a respectable fourth on last month's handicap debut; 2lb wrong here; more needed.
6	6 |PU| (6) (40/1 -21%) Always Force It		40 40/1(-21%)																															(6) Always Force It 40/1, Shaped well in pair of handicap hurdles for Gavin Cromwell in the autumn but no show in 3 starts for present yard. Well beaten in two 2m handicaps this spring and now 0-9 over hurdles.
8	8 |PU| (8) (66/1 +0%) Zulu		66 66/1(+0%)																															(8) Zulu 66/1, Again offered little back from a 2-year absence at Exeter in January and hopes now pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking significant improvement. Pulled up on three of his last four appearances dating back to 2020; can't be recommended.

16:13 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

WINTERWATCH was beaten six lengths into fourth when competing in this grade on his latest outing and he was dropped 1lb for that display. Harry Fry's six-year-old holds the most solid recent form in this contest and he just gets the vote. The main threat might be Lost In The Mist, who only found the favourite too good over 2m at Chepstow last month and he warrants a market check on his handicap bow. Of the remainder, Hour Star makes the most appeal.

This represents a good opportunity for WINTERWATCH to open his account over hurdles. The 6-y-o shaped as though this step back up in trip would be in his favour when fourth in a big field at Taunton and is appealing with a capable amateur booked and first-time cheekpieces enlisted. Handicap debutants Lost In The Mist and Hour Star appear the most likely to make a race of it with the selection, given that Light Em Up Nigel is returning from a 17-month absence.

It might pay to chance the fitness of long-absent topweight LIGHT EM UP NIGEL, who has been given a good chance by the handicapper.

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 -25%) Young Buck		2.5 5/2(-25%)																															(2) Young Buck 5/2, Won this for Paul Nicholls last year. Unplaced in a point 5 weeks ago. Got to be respected. Won this race for Paul Nicholls in 2023 and collected a point for new yard in March.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -54%) Len Brennan		10 10/1(-54%)																															(5) Len Brennan 10/1, Fairly useful chaser at best for Milton Harris. Successful in a point recently. Rediscovered some form to win minor point this month but has more on his plate.
3	4 3rd (4) (28/1 +72%) King Orry		28 28/1(+72%)																															(4) King Orry 28/1, Poor hurdler/chaser. Unplaced completed start in points (Apr 20). Cheekpieces go on. Fifth of 14 in a maiden point last month; much more is needed.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 +39%) Norman Abu		40 40/1(+39%)																															(6) Norman Abu 40/1, From a successful jumping family but well held in bumper/maiden hurdle, and a maiden in points, fourth last time (May 4). Tongue strap/cheekpieces go on. Struggled on both rules starts here in 2022 and 0-10 in points since.
5th	1 5th (1) (Evens -61%) Switch Hitter		0 Evens(-61%)																															(1) Switch Hitter Evens, Big chance on his creditable efforts in 3m Ascot handicaps at the end of 2023. Lost his way but every chance he revives in this much lesser company. Useful handicapper; pulled up on final two starts last season; in much calmer waters here.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/2 +68%) Kalooki		6.5 13/2(+68%)																															(3) Kalooki 13/2, Lost his way for Philip Hobbs after a Doncaster win in December 2021. Pulled up both starts in points this year. Very useful in his prime but pulled up in both points this year; revival needed.

16:43 Newton Abbot Hunter Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Switch Hitter sets the standard with a rating of 130 in this contest and he has to be respected, but he has been pulled up the last twice which raises concerns. With that in mind, the vote goes to last year's winner YOUNG BUCK, who struck on his penultimate start between the flags and he can take this race for a second successive year. Len Brennan completes the shortlist.

SWITCH HITTER has to be the call on his first go in a hunter given he ran to useful ratings in a couple of Ascot handicaps to start last season. Last year's winner Young Buck is feared most.

It's hard to know what to expect from SWITCH HITTER but he'll be far too good for this field if back in good nick.

1	1 (1) (50/1 -52%) Blacksambelle		50 50/1(-52%)																															(1) Blacksambelle 50/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Dam bumper/23f hurdle winner. Little in the way of promise starting out at Uttoxeter. Well beaten (albeit on soft ground) when 25-1 for recent debut at Uttoxeter.
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +11%) Railway Bell		2 2/1(+11%)																															(6) Railway Bell 2/1, €35,000 3-y-o, Mahler mare. Dam, modest hurdler (19f winner), half-sister to smart hurdler (stays 2½m) Brandy Love out of fairly useful 2m hurdler Bambootcha. Placed both starts in British points and since transferred to a successful yard. Placed in two Irish points in autumn; new stable does well in bumpers; must be considered.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 -14%) Realta Liath		2 2/1(-14%)																															(7) Realta Liath 2/1, Purchased for £100,000 after easily winning sole Irish point and plenty to like about her third at Plumpton on Rules debut in December. Matched that form in a better race at Ascot 2 months later and she sets the standard. Not beaten far when sixth at Ascot in February and will find this race much easier.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 +0%) Arctic Angel		10 10/1(+0%)																															(8) Arctic Angel 10/1, €8,000 3-y-o, Arctic Cosmos filly.

4	12 4th (12) (8/1 +50%) Springtime Legend		8 8/1(+50%)																															(12) Springtime Legend 8/1, Third foal, dam multiple point winner. Starts out in an ordinary race. Out of a point winner; stable has more obvious chance with Hurley Girly.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 +56%) O'malley		11 11/1(+56%)																															(5) O'malley 11/1, Ocovango mare. Closely related to fair hurdler Rocco Royale. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 23f) Slieveardagh. Off the pace when brought down at Taunton in March. Struggling in rear when hampered and brought down on home turn at Taunton in March.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 +0%) Lady Showtime		66 66/1(+0%)																															(4) Lady Showtime 66/1, £9,000 3-y-o, Shirocco mare. Dam fair bumper winner but she showed little herself at Market Rasen last month. Did not look straightforward when a well-beaten 40-1 shot at Market Rasen last month.
7th	11 7th (11) (50/1 -100%) Little Storm		50 50/1(-100%)																															(11) Little Storm 50/1, Wasn't unbacked but could manage only ninth of 10 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) on debut in December. Tailed off after racing too freely at Hereford in December.
8th	9 8th (9) (125/1 -25%) Diamond Dusty		125 125/1(-25%)																															(9) Diamond Dusty 125/1, Jukebox Jury filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful chaser Stones And Roses, stays 29f, and bumper winner/fairly useful 2¾m chase winner Golazo. Too free to last out on debut. Struggled when 50-1 for debut at Exeter (good) last month.
9th	2 9th (2) (11/1 -38%) Damekap		11 11/1(-38%)																															(2) Damekap 11/1, £30,000 5-y-o, Kapgarde mare. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat, including 15f winner in France La Dame d'Etat. Runner-up sole start in points in March and one to note. Bought for £30,000 after finishing second in heavy-ground point on debut in March.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 -214%) Hurley Girly		11 11/1(-214%)																															(3) Hurley Girly 11/1, Shirocco mare. Dam bumper/fairly useful 17f-21f hurdle winner (stayed 25f). Stuck to her task pretty well when third at Plumpton (17.8f) a month ago. Slight drop in trip won't be in her favour. Prominent throughout and belied 50-1 odds when third on debut at Plumpton; shortlisted.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +34%) Flyover		33 33/1(+34%)																															(10) Flyover 33/1, £2,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson filly. Dam, little impact in bumpers/over hurdles, out of fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser up to 21f J'y Vole. £2,000 3yo; second foal; dam well beaten bumpers/2m4f hurdles; not the obvious answer.

17:13 Newton Abbot NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

HURLEY GIRLY outran her big odds to reach the frame in a bumper on her debut at Plumpton last month and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. The daughter of Shirocco is likely to have plenty more to offer and she can strike for the in-form Neil Mulholland stable. Damekap finished second in a point-to-point in March before changing hands for 30,000 pounds and she would be foolish to dismiss on her debut under Rules, while any market confidence behind her stablemate, Springtime Legend, would also be interesting.

Those with Rules experience don't set the bar too high so RAILWAY BELL, who laid a solid foundations in British points and represents a successful yard, could be the answer. Realta Liath is sure to be thereabouts, with Damekap another to note.

Hurley Girly made a pleasing debut last month but REALTA LIATH held her own in a good race at Ascot in February and gets the nod.

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.
