14:28 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +23%) Cindysox	1.25 5/4(+23%)	(1) Cindysox 5/4, Far from disgraced in bumper at Uttoxeter on debut in October 2022 and offered something to work on sent hurdling after 19 months off when third of 6 in novice at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) just under 5 weeks ago. Expected to build on that. One of the better options here after finishing third at Huntingdon.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/4 -119%) Walk Of The Roses	1.75 7/4(-119%)	(6) Walk Of The Roses 7/4, Showed a good attitude when making a successful start in a 6-runner bumper at Ffos Las 12 months ago and ran to a similar level under a penalty when runner-up at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) a month later. Plenty to like on hurdles debut provided she's ready to roll. Bumper winner; ground is an unknown but found a weak race for hurdling debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 +58%) Hurst Hill	14 14/1(+58%)	(4) Hurst Hill 14/1, Unplaced in a couple of point bumpers and looked badly in need of the experience on her hurdling debut at Fontwell (17.7f, good) just less than 2 weeks ago. Likely she'll need more time. Well beaten in two point bumpers and again at Fontwell when just behind Hallowed Rose.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 -33%) My Mate Polly	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) My Mate Polly 16/1, No promise in bumpers but showed more than previously in this sphere when fourth in a juvenile at Hereford last month (had the run of things). Unseated rider first on handicap debut since. Some improvement at Hereford but then departed early on h'cap debut when 100-1.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 +68%) Hallowed Rose	7 7/1(+68%)	(3) Hallowed Rose 7/1, 0-13 in the pointing field and showed a bit before finishing well beaten on her recent hurdling debut at Fontwell (17.7f, good). 0-13 in points and was beaten about a distance on hurdling debut at Fontwell.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -60%) Silver Chord	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Silver Chord 80/1, Minor promise in an Exeter bumper in December but no impact in a couple of novice hurdles more recently (latest in cheekpieces). 200-1 when tailed off at Fontwell, finishing adrift of Hallowed Rose and Hurst Hill.
7th	2 7th (2) (150/1 -200%) Demelza Carne	150 150/1(-200%)	(2) Demelza Carne 150/1, Yet to show any ability in bumpers/over hurdles. Nothing positive to take out of her runs in two bumpers and as many hurdle starts.

14:28 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Many of these would need to improve on what they've shown so far, and that could pave the way for WALK OF THE ROSES to make a successful return. The Fontwell bumper winner was far from disgraced when second under a penalty at Uttoxeter in June, but she can improve now sent hurdling. Cindysox finished a creditable third at Huntingdon on her hurdles bow last month and she is the main danger, while Hurst Hill completes the shortlist.

A weak mares' novice that can go the way of WALK OF THE ROSES, who made a promising start to her career in a couple of bumpers 12 months ago and can make the perfect start in this sphere provided she's ready to roll. Cindysox looks the most obvious danger following her recent third at Huntingdon on hurdling debut, with sole 4-y-o My Mate Polly rounding off the shortlist.

Preference is for CINDYSOX after her third at Huntingdon. She's by Kayf Tara and out of a Listed-winning hurdler.

14:58 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/2 -10%) Investment Manager	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Investment Manager 11/2, Enjoyed a productive summer over fences here, winning twice at up to 25.7f. Runner-up on next 3 starts before good run came to an abrupt halt at Exeter. Off since but in good hands and he's of interest returned to Newton Abbot. Back from a break and he run a number of good races here last year.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Hauraki Gulf	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Hauraki Gulf 4/1, Promising start over fences when winning a brace of small-field contests during the winter. Unseated rider before the race took shape at Uttoxeter a month ago and mark remains a workable one. Won two small-field chases earlier in the year but now has to get back on track.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 -150%) Champagne Court	7.5 15/2(-150%)	(5) Champagne Court 15/2, Arrives on back of couple solid placed efforts, latest when second of 5 in Veterans' handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy). Races off same mark and should give another good account. Not the force of old but still runner-up off today's mark in his last two races.
4	1 4th (1) (10/3 +49%) Wayfinder	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(1) Wayfinder 10/3, Capable staying chaser when the mood takes, as he demonstrated with creditable placed efforts in the first half of last season. Quickly into his shell again since and others more persuasive despite drop in class. Capable chaser but two non-completions before bleeding at Cheltenham.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (15/8 +6%) Juniper	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(2) Juniper 15/8, Won twice for Harry Whittington in 2022/23 and left yard debut/return behind when landing 4-runner mares' handicap at Taunton. Again impressed with her jumping when following up in good style at Wincanton before a sound third from revised mark. Likely to give it another good go with cheekpieces on. Hard to fault with her progressive profile and cheekpieces are now added.

14:58 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow

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

JUNIPER finished a decent third at Cheltenham when attempting to complete a hat-trick last month. The forecast slower ground should be in her favour here, as is the drop in class, and with cheekpieces applied for the first-time, she could find a bit more. Champagne Court has been knocking on the door in recent starts and must enter the reckoning, along with the largely consistent Investment Manager.

JUNIPER might be 10 but she's better than ever of late, again impressing with her jumping despite being unable to complete the hat-trick at Cheltenham last month. Cheekpieces go on and she's just about the most persuasive option, ahead of Champagne Court and Investment Manager.

Perhaps the safest play is INVESTMENT MANAGER (nap) who could run around here with his eyes shut.

15:28 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/2 -125%) Coconut Twist	4.5 9/2(-125%)	(4) Coconut Twist 9/2, Yet to win under Rules but in good form in 2023/24, runner-up for the fifth consecutive time at Southwell (20.4f) last July. Off the mark in points at the fourth attempt in January, so he's a key contender as he goes chasing. Often thereabouts hurdling; goes chasing after winning a Larkhill point as he liked.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +30%) Zero Tolerance	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Zero Tolerance 7/1, Placed in an Irish bumper for Charles O'Brien and made the frame in 2 maiden hurdles in 2022/23. However, hasn't returned in much form following a 13-month absence, finishing well held on his chase debut at Warwick (16.2f) in April. Others more persuasive. Made a bad mistake on recent chase debut; still early days after just eight starts.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 -29%) Belgarum	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(5) Belgarum 9/2, Placed twice over hurdles in 2022/23 but he struggled over fences last season, pulled up on his last 2 outings. However, he's had a wind op ahead of his return and he lurks on a dangerous mark based on his best form over hurdles. Yet to get it going over fences but had wind op and mark appeals on hurdle form.
4	6 4th (6) (10/3 +33%) Hold Your Fort	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(6) Hold Your Fort 10/3, Little form over hurdles in 2022 for Tracey Barfoot-Saunt, but won twice in points last year. Showed more than previously under Rules when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in (23.9f) 22 days ago, so he's one to note with hood applied for his chase debut. Three-time point winner; now hooded and worth a second look on chase debut.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (11/2 +8%) I Shut That D'or	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(1) I Shut That D'or 11/2, Fairly-useful winning hurdler but wasn't able to match that level sent chasing last season, failing to complete on 4 of his 6 starts. Never a threat when third of 5 at Wincanton (15.7f) last time, but his mark has eased further so he's not discounted back up in trip. He was still beneath his best in finishing a 10l third of four finishers at Wincanton.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (17/2 +47%) Sans Of Gold	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(8) Sans Of Gold 17/2, Poor form at best over hurdles and hasn't found any improvement for the switch to chasing, attracting support (6/1) but finishing down the field at Stratford (22.6f) 20 days ago. Has something to find racing from out of the handicap. Modest maiden who hasn't looked any different since sent over fences; 9lb wrong.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (18/1 +28%) Mr Sociable	18 18/1(+28%)	(7) Mr Sociable 18/1, Well held in 3 outings over hurdles back from a long absence in 2022/23 and fared no better last season, including over fences on his 2 most recent starts. Easy enough to look elsewhere from out of the weights. A long time since he showed worthwhile form and he's 5lb out of the weights.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (28/1 -155%) Chabadatika	28 28/1(-155%)	(2) Chabadatika 28/1, Fair form over hurdles in France but hasn't offered much in 4 starts for her current yard, off for a further 3 months before finishing last of 7 at Fontwell (25.8f) 3 weeks ago. Back down in trip as she makes her chase debut. Has been struggling in handicap hurdles and goes chasing with a fair bit to prove.

15:28 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Coconut Twist was a commanding winner of a Larkhill point-to-point in January and he merits respect on his first start for the Daisy Hitchins team, but a chance is taken on HOLD YOUR FORT. A multiple winner between the flags, he shaped as if in need of the outing when fifth over hurdles on the back of an absence 22 days ago. Chasing ought to be more his bag and it would be no surprise were he to step forward. I Shut That D'or is also noted.

COCONUT TWIST was running well in defeat last season, bumping into an improving type at Southwell when last seen under Rules, and having won a point since he is taken to make a winning chase debut. Hold Your Fort is also a winning pointer and is feared most as he goes chasing, ahead of I Shut That d'Or.

A chance is taken on BELGARUM after wind surgery. His mark is very tempting on the pick of his hurdle form.

15:58 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +9%) Trump Lady	5 5/1(+9%)	(4) Trump Lady 5/1, Winner at Exeter back in January 2022 for Harriet Brown but missed 28 months after next start. Shaped as if retaining most of her ability when eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Not discounted if able to build on that. Entitled to have needed it at Warwick but could still have shown more.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 +45%) Caspers Court	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(5) Caspers Court 10/3, Won back-to-back handicaps around 21f in early 2023 but has been slipping in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage recently, only tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 23 days ago. May fare better in this weak event. Has won four times over hurdles but he needs to turn a corner and is getting on now.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/2 -150%) Silver Shade	7.5 15/2(-150%)	(2) Silver Shade 15/2, Won twice as a juvenile for Milton Harris but was off the track for 19 months prior to pulling up at Hereford (19.7f, good) 22 days ago. Well treated on the pick of his form but market may remain best guide as to expectations. With a run under his belt and back on softer ground, he should be a factor.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (6/4 +8%) Monjules	1.5 6/4(+8%)	(1) Monjules 6/4, Won 3 of first 4 starts for this yard in 2022/23 and ran to similar level when runner-up at Plumpton on his return in the autumn. Down the field both starts since (including on chase debut), but this looks a thin contest and it'd be no surprise were he to make a greater impact. On a good mark if back on song and 3m1f looked too far the last time.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (13/2 -8%) Vernon Subutex	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(3) Vernon Subutex 13/2, Prolific over hurdles and fences in France and scored in Britain on his sole outing for David Pipe in May 2022. No promise in 2 starts for current yard, though. Two wins in 2022 but he's shown very little in two runs since returning from an absence.

15:58 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

With precious little recent winning form on offer, it may pay to side with MONJULES with Megan Bevan claiming a valuable 7lb. With four wins over hurdles and a good Plumpton second last November to his name, the six-year-old failed to see out the trip last time out and has been found a more suitable contest. Trump Lady in entitled to improve for her first run in over two years when eighth at Warwick and could follow the selection home, leaving Silver Shade as next best.

None of these arrive in any sort of form, but MONJULES possesses the most encouraging overall profile and could be the way to go over Caspers Court.

All of these have questions to answer but MONJULES did at least have an excuse last time and he nearly won three starts back.

16:28 Newton Abbot Hunter Chase (Class 5) 21f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +35%) Yccs Portocervo	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(1) Yccs Portocervo 13/8, Won back to back at Uttoxeter last summer and bounced back from a poor run on hunter debut in January when seeing off the reopposing Duc de Bourbon by 4¼ lengths in 20.5f Kempton hunter last month. Should go well again. Much too good for Duc De Bourbon and No Getaway at Kempton.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/8 -36%) Phoenix Way	1.625 13/8(-36%)	(7) Phoenix Way 13/8, Pretty smart chaser at his best for Harry Fry. Not seen for 13 months but could be a cut above this opposition on hunter debut. Wellbeing to prove after so long out but he's the class act in this field.
3	6 3rd (6) (80/1 -60%) Norman Abu	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Norman Abu 80/1, Remote fourth on recent 25.5f course hunter debut. Booked for another struggle. Finished a remote fourth in a 3m2f hunter chase here nine days ago when 40-1.
4	8 4th (8) (100/1 -52%) Tekap	100 100/1(-52%)	(8) Tekap 100/1, Looks limited on balance of his form. Pulled up in a Cheltenham hunter at the start of this month and last of 4 in a point since. At least completed the last time but was still last of four in a 3m point; up against it.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (7/1 -17%) No Getaway	7 7/1(-17%)	(2) No Getaway 7/1, Won this race 12 months ago. Creditable third at Kempton (20.5f) last month but reopposing pair Yccs Portocervo and Duc de Bourbon were ahead in first and second. Asked to reverse recent Kempton placings with both Yccs Portocervo and Duc De Bourbon.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (6/1 -20%) Duc De Bourbon	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Duc De Bourbon 6/1, Successful hurdler/chaser for Paul Nicholls and a winning pointer for this yard. Sound start to his hunter career when 4¼ lengths second of 6 to Yccs Portocervo at Kempton (20.5f, good) last month. Should figure again. Chance on latest second to Yccs Portocervo at Kempton; prefers goodish ground.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -52%) Kilronan Castle	100 100/1(-52%)	(5) Kilronan Castle 100/1, Fair chaser earlier in his career but pulled up in both hunters and recent point exploits don't suggest he'll be getting involved here. Getting long in the tooth now and recent pointing exploits don't bode well.

16:28 Newton Abbot Hunter Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

No Getaway won this contest last year by nearly eight lengths and he arrives here after a third last time out at Kempton, leaving him with more to do. He meets runner-up Duc De Bourbon on the same terms, while YCCS PORTOCERVO won that Kempton event comfortably after a fine display of jumping and looks set to confirm the form.

PHOENIX WAY was still capable of useful form at the beginning of 2023 and is taken to make a winning start to his hunter career. Yccs Portocervo can confirm recent Kempton superiority over Duc de Bourbon and No Getaway, who won this 12 months ago, and give the selection most to think about.

This largely revolves around whether former smart handicapper PHOENIX WAY still fancies the challenge after his period out of action.

17:03 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (13/2 -8%) Culligran	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(4) Culligran 13/2, Unplaced both completed starts in points but some promise in pair of maiden/novice hurdles and upped her game when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D 9 days ago. Going the right way, so likely to be involved if the race doesn't come too soon. Beaten 11l into second on last week's handicap debut; softer ground this time.
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -35%) Hillsin	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(1) Hillsin 9/2, Remains a maiden following 19 starts over hurdles but, to his credit, he has finished in the money on several occasions, including when returning from a wind op/3-month break on second start for this yard at Exeter (18.5f, good). High on the shortlist. Fared better after a wind op when second to a big improver at Exeter.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 -40%) Our Dylan	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(3) Our Dylan 7/2, Showed benefit of a recent run when belatedly shedding maiden tag at Hereford in April and followed up with a bit up his sleeve at Stratford since. Remains well treated on old form and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Only pushed out the last time so should deal with the 6lb rise.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/1 +30%) Lion's Vigil	7 7/1(+30%)	(10) Lion's Vigil 7/1, Lightly raced for his age and proved he can get competitive from this sort of mark when fourth at Ludlow 17 days ago. Drops back in trip and may not have reached his limit. Latest fourth was over 3m and may need further than this to show his best form.
4	6 4th (6) (10/3 +45%) Mr Zee	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(6) Mr Zee 10/3, Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. Left previous hurdling efforts behind when runner-up at Kempton last month and can make his presence felt with another step forward. Six Flat wins; lightly raced hurdler who was second in a Kempton handicap last month.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 +0%) Pooch	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Pooch 10/1, Left previous Rules form behind when third in a novice at Plumpton last time. Bred to do better still and appeals as an interesting handicap debutant. Handicap debut but not even this low a mark looks obviously lenient.
6th	2 6th (2) (12/1 +25%) Timeforarum	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Timeforarum 12/1, Fair form on first of three outings in bumpers and looked a work-in-progress so far over hurdles. Potentially leniently treated on handicap bow, so can't be ruled out. Best efforts were in bumpers and no closer than 15l over hurdles; handicap debut.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (11/2 +78%) Wellwillya	5.5 11/2(+78%)	(11) Wellwillya 11/2, Poor maiden hurdler who was pulled up in a novice at Hereford last time and arrives with a bit to prove. Last two defeats were in non-handicaps but he's far from solid; tries cheekpieces.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (28/1 -27%) Secret Sauce	28 28/1(-27%)	(5) Secret Sauce 28/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice in January. However, hasn't managed to build on that since. Some form commands attention but he's yet to really get going for current yard.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 -220%) Zulu	80 80/1(-220%)	(8) Zulu 80/1, Again offered little back from a 2-year absence at Exeter in January and no more encouragement over C&D 9 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. Has pulled up in four of his last five starts stretched out over a long period.

17:03 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

A tricky race to call but the penny seems to have dropped for OUR DYLAN, who has only needed to be pushed out to win at Hereford and Stratford recently. Another 6lb from the handicapper may not stop him from securing a hat-trick. Hillsin is an obvious danger if he improves on his second start after wind-surgery but top-weight looks an anchor, while Timeforarum could surprise a few on his handicap debut over what may prove to be his ideal trip.

OUR DYLAN is in a resurgent mood and remains well handicapped, so he's fancied to land the hat-trick for all that this looks quite competitive for the grade. Mr Zee and Culligran arrive on the back of improved efforts and both merit plenty of respect.

Something has clicked with OUR DYLAN and he won with sufficient authority last time to believe he may well go in 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.
