14:10 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (33/1 -83%) General Probus	33 33/1(-83%)	(4) General Probus 33/1, Showed ability in 3 starts for Olly Murphy in 2020 and clear of the rest when a good second upped to 24.4f back from a lengthy absence for Keiran Burke at Ascot in November 2022. Off since and has changed yards again. Makes chase debut. Last seen finishing second in an Ascot hurdle in late 2022 and that was after an absence.
1	7 1st (7) (9/1 +25%) Easy Bucks	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Easy Bucks 9/1, Made light of a 15-month absence when making a winning debut for John Joseph Hanlon at Punchestown but no real impact since re-joining Peter Bowen. His sixth in the Eider was his best run since rejoining this yard from a spell in Ireland.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 -14%) Langley Hundred	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Langley Hundred 16/1, Dual staying handicap hurdle winner who made a promising chase debut when runner-up at Ludlow (25.6f) in November. Disappointing next 3 outings, however, including tried in this headgear latest. Capable hurdler; hasn't progressed over fences but returns from a wind operation.
3	10 3rd (10) (10/1 +55%) Robinsville	10 10/1(+55%)	(10) Robinsville 10/1, Yet to taste success but last 3 starts were respectable, including when third on chase debut at Stratford last month, jumping tentatively. Should learn from that. Positives to take from chase debut at Stratford (2m6f, good) when beaten 11l.
4	2 4th (2) (100/1 -525%) Favori De Sivola	100 100/1(-525%)	(2) Favori De Sivola 100/1, Fairly useful handicap chaser for this yard in 2022/23 Out of sorts for David Pipe in 2023/24 but has dropped a long way in weights as a result and now back with former yard. One to note after 7 months off. Five chase wins; things didn't work out for David Pipe but on a good mark and had wind op.
5th	1 5th (1) (100/1 -1567%) Behind The Curtain	100 100/1(-1567%)	(1) Behind The Curtain 100/1, Arrives on the back of a career-best win over hurdles at Hereford 12 days ago, though he was let down by jumping when failing to complete on both starts over fences last season. Recent hurdle winner off this mark; not looked a natural chaser in two previous attempts.
6th	6 6th (6) (200/1 -3900%) Puddlesinthepark	200 200/1(-3900%)	(6) Puddlesinthepark 200/1, Fair hurdles winner and plenty of good efforts in defeat in this sphere, including 2 lengths second of 7 to Lightonthewing in handicap chase at this C&D (good to firm, 3/1) 16 days ago. Shouldn't be long before going one better over fences. Solid run back from two months off to chase home Lightonthewing over C&D recently.
7th	3 7th (3) (400/1 -11329%) Pentire Head	400 400/1(-11329%)	(3) Pentire Head 400/1, Improved fitted with headgear when placed over hurdles last 2 starts and type to make a chaser. Needs considering. Often placed and entitled to make a better chaser, in keeping with so many from his yard.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (7/1 -56%) Lightonthewing	7 7/1(-56%)	(8) Lightonthewing 7/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Wincanton and followed up at Exeter in March. As good as ever when resuming winning ways over C&D last month by 2 lengths from Puddlesinthepark and another bold bid looks on the cards. Excellent strike-rate of 5-13 over fences and ran out a 2l winner over C&D 16 days ago.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (200/1 -506%) Shortcross Storm	200 200/1(-506%)	(12) Shortcross Storm 200/1, Scored over C&D 12 months ago but below par next 5 starts and 4 lb out of the weights on this occasion. Doesn't return here in much form and his second two runs back amounts to precious little.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (300/1 -1264%) Seymour Promise	300 300/1(-1264%)	(11) Seymour Promise 300/1, Finally shed his maiden tag at Taunton but rather predictably failed badly to back that up next 2 starts. Easy enough to look elsewhere. None too consistent and finished well back in Lightonthewing's race here recently.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (350/1 -1844%) Love Actually	350 350/1(-1844%)	(9) Love Actually 350/1, Won her first 2 starts over fences but has lost her way since and readily passed over. Dual chase winner but modest form of late in cheekpieces and now tries blinkers.

14:10 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Behind The Curtain is likely to be well found in the market after a game victory over hurdles last month. That said, he hasn't looked a natural chaser in the past and David Pipe's ten-year-old may prove vulnerable to younger legs, namely chasing debutant PENTIRE HEAD. Paul Nicholls' charge was last seen staying on into third over 2m4f at Ffos Las and connections will be disappointed if a race of this nature wasn't within reach for the son of Presenting. Recent C&D winner Lightonthewing also warrants respect, notwithstanding a 5lb rise for that performance.

FAVORI DE SIVOLA is potentially well handicapped back with a yard he had success with so could be worth chancing after 7 months off. Lightonthewing and Puddlesinthepark both arrive in top form having finished 1-2 over C&D last month and are others to consider.

Plenty with chances. As with so many Paul Nicholls horses, PENTIRE HEAD is fully entitled to be a better chaser than hurdler.

14:40 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2/7 +12%) Huelgoat	0.285714 2/7(+12%)	(3) Huelgoat 2/7, Notched his fifth success over fences at Wincanton (2½m) in November. Little to shout about in 3 subsequent chase starts but back on track faced with an easier assignment returned to hurdling when second at Stratford 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and he sets the standard. Beaten at Stratford but ran well and faces nothing of the winner's calibre here.
2	9 2nd (9) (40/1 +20%) Sweet Caryline	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) Sweet Caryline 40/1, Fetched £50,000 as a 3-y-o and she's out of a 2m hurdle winner. Unseated rider when beaten on her introduction in a Chepstow bumper in March 2023 and merely hinted at ability 8 months later. Behind when unseating in her bumper and was then tailed off on switch to jumping.
3	4 3rd (4) (100/1 -300%) Victoria Line	100 100/1(-300%)	(4) Victoria Line 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) who was last seen finishing mid-field in a Newcastle handicap (16.2f) in October 2021. Has lengthy absence to overcome switched to hurdling on first run for yard after leaving Mark Walford. 0-7 on the Flat (1m4f-2m) for two different yards; long absence to overcome.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 -54%) Eileen's Milan	10 10/1(-54%)	(1) Eileen's Milan 10/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Farren Glory and useful hurdler Croke Park. In need of the experience in a Plumpton bumper 3 weeks ago. In top hands and quickly up in trip now hurdling. Had no obvious excuses when tailed off in a good-ground bumper at Plumpton.
5th	5 5th (5) (450/1 -350%) Dartman	450 450/1(-350%)	(5) Dartman 450/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 9f, well held on stable debut at Bath. Limited impact on hurdles bow and stamina to prove over this far. Regressed on the Flat and never really counted when switched to hurdling at Hereford.
6th	7 6th (7) (300/1 -809%) Dontmesswithme	300 300/1(-809%)	(7) Dontmesswithme 300/1, Showed ability in bumpers but looks a handicap project over hurdles. Tongue tie applied. Weak bumper form and she's shown nothing in either hurdle start.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (400/1 -3536%) Go Johnny Go	400 400/1(-3536%)	(6) Go Johnny Go 400/1, €4,000 3-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Dam unraced. Won sole start in point bumpers but looked a hard ride switched to Rules at Exeter in April. Since finished third in a point and now goes hurdling for new yard. Won a point bumper in March and was an 8l third in a 2m4f point last month.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (400/1 -400%) Goldies Roc	400 400/1(-400%)	(8) Goldies Roc 400/1, Rocamadour mare. Dam 1¼m winner in Germany. Had a breathing operation prior to debut and showed very little at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on. Jumped moderately and always behind before pulling up when 33-1 for a Warwick maiden.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (450/1 -350%) Henry Pick	450 450/1(-350%)	(2) Henry Pick 450/1, Little show in bumpers this spring and needed the experience on hurdles debut. Down the field in two bumpers and 250-1 when pulled up here on hurdling debut.

14:40 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to look past HUELGOAT, who pulled clear with the eventual winner when finishing runner-up over 2m6f at Stratford last month and he should be hard to stop with a reproduction of that effort. Eileen's Milan ran too green for his own good when finishing down the field in a Plumpton bumper on his debut last month, but he is surely capable of better and can emerge as the main danger to his stablemate. It will be interesting to see how Victoria Line fares on his first start in this sphere, but has a bit to find judging by his exertions on the Flat.

HUELGOAT isn't as good over hurdles as he is fences but even so, he's expected to outclass these. Stablemate Eileen's Milan goes up in trip now tackling obstacles and could be the chief threat in a thin race.

Go Johnny Go brings some potential to the table but this should be easy pickings for HUELGOAT.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/1 -200%) Saint Bibiana	6 6/1(-200%)	(2) Saint Bibiana 6/1, Proved suited by the step up in trip when landing 11-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 17 days ago. Up 6 lb but still looks ahead of her mark. Big shout. Got up late on in 11-runner handicap at Stratford (3m2f, good) 17 days ago; up 6lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (28/1 -100%) Shirocco's Dream	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Shirocco's Dream 28/1, Scored over fences at Hereford (25.2f) in November but consistency not her strong point and she came in only seventh there 23 days ago. Switches to hurdles with others preferred. Not so good in her last three runs; back over hurdles today for first time since 2022.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +36%) Maroochi	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(8) Maroochi 9/2, Winless since 2022 but she arrives in decent nick, eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and merits consideration. Needs better than on last five outings if she's to win and there are stamina doubts.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +17%) Honey I'm Good	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Honey I'm Good 10/1, Notched 3 chase wins last spring/summer but out of form since until posting a fair fourth of 7 in 3m Ffos Las handicap chase 29 days ago. Needs to back it up now. Step back in right direction 4 weeks ago; has markedly lower mark for return to hurdling.
5th	10 5th (10) (40/1 -21%) Sevenofus	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Sevenofus 40/1, Point winner who has posted some solid efforts to be placed since over hurdles and fences. Unseated rider early in Stratford handicap chase last time. No easy ask back hurdling from 5 lb "wrong" in the weights. 0-15 under rules; placed twice switched to chases this year; 5lb out of the weights.
6th	5 6th (5) (200/1 -2567%) Mollie Brown	200 200/1(-2567%)	(5) Mollie Brown 200/1, Took a step forward when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good) 29 days ago. Blinkers go on for the 1st time and can't be discounted. Handicapping over 3m+ for her two starts but needs to improve on that form; first blinkers.
7th	4 7th (4) (80/1 -1043%) Kentford Mallard	80 80/1(-1043%)	(4) Kentford Mallard 80/1, Consistent mare who scored at Hereford in October. Posted a solid fourth of 10 at Huntingdon 27 days ago and is very much one to consider eased 1 lb. On the premises in her two races (on good) this spring, so has an each-way chance again.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (125/1 -400%) Step It Out Goldie	125 125/1(-400%)	(9) Step It Out Goldie 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden who came in eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good) 42 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces go on for 1st time with more required from 4 lb out of the handicap. Bumper 3rd; failed to show much in three novice hurdles or 3m handicap; first headgear.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (200/1 -1150%) Jaunty Belle	200 200/1(-1150%)	(6) Jaunty Belle 200/1, Still a maiden but she wasn't discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good) 42 days ago. Up in trip and not ruled out. Needs to improve; up in trip again and there is some stamina in the family.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (350/1 -1300%) Heure De Gloire	350 350/1(-1300%)	(3) Heure De Gloire 350/1, Back to winning ways in 2m Ffos Las handicap in February but below that level since, only sixth of nine there (3m) last time. Others appeal more. Soundly beaten on last four starts, with moves back up to about 2m4f/3m for last three.

15:10 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

SAINT BIBIANA impressed with the manner of her victory over 3m2f at Stratford last month, coming clear in the closing stages to win going away, and, on that evidence, a 6lb rise may not be enough to anchor her. Mollie Brown shaped like the application of blinkers would suit when finishing third in a similar contest at Hereford a few weeks ago, while the class-dropping Shirocco's Dream completes the shortlist.

SAINT BIBIANA took her form up a notch when going in at Stratford and a 6 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up given she's still unexposed over staying trips. The reliable Kentford Mallard appeals as the one to chase home Georgina Nicholls' mare, with Maroochi, Jaunty Belle and Mollie Brown all worthy of respect too.

The move up from about 2m4f worked a treat when SAINT BIBIANA (nap) scored over the extended 3m2f at Stratford last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +41%) Up For Appeal	5 5/1(+41%)	(6) Up For Appeal 5/1, Fair hurdles winner who has shaped with promise over fences, better than bare result back from 6 months off when fourth in a C&D handicap 16 days ago. Feasible to think we've yet to see the best of him in this sphere and he's not discounted here. Looked as though he'd benefit for last month's return and he's considered off 2lb lower..
2	3 2nd (3) (85/40 +15%) American Gerry	2.125 85/40(+15%)	(3) American Gerry 85/40, Opened chase account in refitted cheekpieces at Taunton (21.7f) and dispelled a lesser effort re-united with today's pilot when finishing a good second over C&D 16 days ago, closing all the way to the line. Well in the mix again. Finished a good second over C&D latest under Freddie Gingell; likely to be thereabouts..
3	5 3rd (5) (17/2 +39%) Lelant	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(5) Lelant 17/2, Fair form without success over hurdles but went backwards from his chase debut effort when third of 6 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.5f) last month. Eased further in weights as a result but others arrive here with more pressing claims. Failed to build latest on a promising chase debut; needs to step up if he's to win this..
4	4 \|F\| (4) (11/1 -29%) Midnight Centurion	11 11/1(-29%)	(4) Midnight Centurion 11/1, Ludlow maiden hurdles winner in March 2022 and positive start over fences when finding just one too good on chase debut in November of that year. Might have needed first start for 14 months at first-named venue in January and this should reveal more. Well-held third on January's return from a lengthy absence; has another break to overcome..
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (10/3 -77%) Him Malaya	3.333333 10/3(-77%)	(2) Him Malaya 10/3, Got off the mark when landing 2m Wincanton handicap in November and has run with credit on 3 of his 4 starts since, third of 9 in handicap at Ludlow (15.7f) 24 days ago. Of interest now stepping up in trip on chasing bow. Has to prove his stamina for this far but he brings potential on chase debut; respected.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (17/2 +29%) Mullinaree	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(1) Mullinaree 17/2, Won 5 on the spin over hurdles last year and ran better than on chasing bow when fourth of 7 in handicap at Plumpton (19.8f) in December. Ran poorly when pulled up over hurdles at Sandown in January but he could well bounce back returned to chasing/following a break. On a good mark reverting to fences and he's respected if ready to go back from a break..

15:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far over C&D last time out, AMERICAN GERRY must hold every chance off a 3lb higher mark with conditions in his favour once again. Hughie Morrison's charge may not be the most consistent, but he should have enough to see off Him Malaya, who makes his debut over fences after some promising efforts of late over timber. Midnight Centurion didn't shape badly on his return from a 413-day break at Ludlow in January and he is entitled to improve from that outing.

AMERICAN GERRY quickly dispelled a lesser effort when second behind an aggressively ridden rival over C&D 16 days ago, noted closing all the way to the line and, again partnered by Freddie Gingell, he looks to hold sound claims again. Him Malaya goes chasing following a good solid third over hurdles at Ludlow (form working out well) and he's of interest. Up For Appeal is another to keep an eye on.

American Gerry is the solid option but he might prove vulnerable to chase debutant HIM MALAYA if he stays this longer trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (8/1 -78%) Clearance	8 8/1(-78%)	(7) Clearance 8/1, Smooth-traveller who added to his terrific course record when scoring cosily here 16 days ago. This should be run to suit and he's likely to be thereabouts once again. A five-time winner around here who will likely make his presence felt off a 4lb rise..
2	8 2nd (8) (15/8 -25%) Swift Hawk	1.875 15/8(-25%)	(8) Swift Hawk 15/8, Fair form on the Flat for William Knight and, having changed hands for 85,000 gns, he made the perfect start for new connections at Taunton in December. Jumped more accurately and easily got back to winning ways in a handicap at Hereford last time, so he's clearly the one to beat. In a deeper race than that of his Hereford win but the 5lb rise might underestimate him..
3	2 3rd (2) (20/1 +39%) War Lord	20 20/1(+39%)	(2) War Lord 20/1, Ran well back from 7 months off/wind surgery when third in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter in November but has struggled since. Remains out of form and was well adrift of Uggy Uggy Uggy on hurdles return last month..
4	1 4th (1) (100/1 -300%) Pisgah Pike	100 100/1(-300%)	(1) Pisgah Pike 100/1, Fairly useful over hurdles, lightly raced in recent years. Off 12 months. Others preferred. Won a valuable prize in 2022 but has plenty to prove returning from an absence..
5th	3 5th (3) (9/4 +55%) Uggy Uggy Uggy	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(3) Uggy Uggy Uggy 9/4, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle (11/4) at Warwick (21f, good) 25 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Strong in the betting there and presumably hasn't finished improving, so another big run is on the cards. Improving 6yo, strong candidate to follow up his Warwick win off a 4lb rise; back at 2m..
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 -133%) Authoceltic	28 28/1(-133%)	(9) Authoceltic 28/1, Authorized colt who made a promising start to his career when 9 lengths third of 10 to Salver in Exeter juvenile hurdle. Failed to back that up in France since and handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark. Unexposed 4yo who brings potential to handicaps; interesting..
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 +44%) Manor Park	14 14/1(+44%)	(4) Manor Park 14/1, Three-time C&D winner, latest almost a year ago. Last couple of hurdling efforts have been poor but not disgraced on the Flat recently and return to this course will suit. A three-time C&D winner who's back on his most recent winning mark and worth considering..
8th	11 8th (11) (20/1 +9%) Kayf Legend	20 20/1(+9%)	(11) Kayf Legend 20/1, Struck at the second attempt over hurdles at Lingfield (2m, good) in February last year but has stopped quickly on both subsequent starts. Has had a short break prior to this and will be worth a market check back on a sounder surface. Well beaten both starts since winning a Lingfield novice in February 2023, best watched..
9th	5 9th (5) (22/1 +0%) Tarahumara	22 22/1(+0%)	(5) Tarahumara 22/1, Third hurdle success of his short career when returning from 6 months off to see off 16 rivals in a 2m Warwick handicap (heavy) in November. No show on both subsequent outings, however, leaving him with a bit to prove. 3lb lower today and down in trip but he was pulled up the last twice; others appeal more..
10th	6 10th (6) (11/1 -22%) Cillians Charm	11 11/1(-22%)	(6) Cillians Charm 11/1, Fairly useful form at best in Ireland and, while below form when last seen 13 months ago, he's worth a market check starting out for a shrewd stable. Heavy-ground maiden hurdle winner; needs a market check on stable debut..
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (100/1 -150%) Believe Jack	100 100/1(-150%)	(10) Believe Jack 100/1, Back to winning ways in this first-time headgear in 2m Catterick claiming hurdle in March (final start for Olly Murphy) but then ran poorly (pulled up) back in a handicap for new yard at Chepstow. Pulled up on stable debut and has a bit to prove in this company; others preferred..

16:10 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

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

An easy winner at Hereford last time out, SWIFT HAWK should have plenty more improvement forthcoming off a 5lb higher mark and he can notch up a third win in five starts. Clearance arrives with similar claims after a taking win here over further on his latest outing, while Uggy Uggy Uggy is another to consider after scoring over 2m5f at Warwick.

SWIFT HAWK is going the right way for this stable and had loads in hand at Hereford last time, so he boasts leading claims with further progress on the cards. Fellow last-time-out winners Clearance and Uggy Uggy Uggy are formidable opponents.

Uggy Uggy Uggy and Clearance command respect but the selection is SWIFT HAWK who doesn't look harshly treated off a 5lb rise.

1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +14%) King's Castle	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) King's Castle 3/1, Fairly useful performer on the Flat at best who has been going the right way over hurdles, stepping forward from his recent run when winning handicap at Warwick a month ago. Remains lightly raced over timber and he's a major player. Stayed on best at Warwick (2m) to gain his first hurdle win; strong claims off 3lb higher..
2	9 2nd (9) (9/2 -13%) Colonel Lesley	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(9) Colonel Lesley 9/2, Won 2 of his 3 starts in 2022/23 for Claire Harris, before having only the one run for Brian Barr last season. After 10 months off, has run well both outings for his current yard, third at Hereford 12 days ago, and he can make his presence felt. Running well for new stable and firmly in the picture with James Turner's handy claim..
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +18%) Electric Eddy	7 7/1(+18%)	(3) Electric Eddy 7/1, Signs of ability for Prunella Dobbs in Ireland and some encouragement on handicap/yard debut back from an 8-month absence at Exeter (18.5f) in April. Back down in trip, only seventh at Uttoxeter 18 days ago, but it still remains early days for him. Much closer latest on second start for the stable; Finn Lambert's 3lb claim can help..
4	10 4th (10) (15/2 +25%) Gorcombe Moonshine	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(10) Gorcombe Moonshine 15/2, Several placed efforts in this sphere before making a winning chase debut at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Had a couple of mishaps over fences subsequently, but back hurdling he ran creditably when third at Fontwell (17.7f) 20 days ago. Could be in the mix. 0-12 over hurdles but posted fair effort back in that discipline latest; considered..
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -56%) Karannelle	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Karannelle 14/1, It's been a while since her last win but she made the frame 3 times at this C&D last season, including when beaten only a neck in September. Lesser efforts on her final 2 starts of the campaign, but she has run well fresh in the past so she's not discounted. Out of sorts when last seen but on a good mark if fully tuned up back from a break..
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 +43%) Afta Party	16 16/1(+43%)	(1) Afta Party 16/1, Fairly useful Flat winner and left previous hurdling efforts behind when landing a C&D novice on debut for this yard in October. However, well held all 3 starts since, including on the level when last seen in February. Has had a wind op and hood back on. A surprise C&D winner last year but has struggled since; has been given wind surgery..
7th	11 7th (11) (66/1 -32%) What An Icon	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) What An Icon 66/1, Poor maiden on Flat who has offered little over hurdles so far, faring no better after another wind op when well beaten in a Fontwell novice (17.7f) last time. Needs to leave previous form well behind sent handicapping. Needs to find significant improvement from out of the weights on handicap debut..
8th	7 8th (7) (17/2 -31%) Good Impression	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(7) Good Impression 17/2, Successful twice at this C&D last season, including this corresponding event. Below-par effort at Hereford 12 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back having dropped back down to his last winning mark. On a good mark and worth considering with the booking of a promising 5lb claimer..
9th	8 9th (8) (28/1 -27%) The Longest Day	28 28/1(-27%)	(8) The Longest Day 28/1, Finally off the mark in handicap at Perth (23.9f) in August and followed up at the same C&D later that month. However, he finished well held at Hexham (25.5f) when last seen in November. Significantly back down in trip on his return from 7 months off. Drop back to 2m poses a question with both his wins coming over 3m; others preferred..
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (10/1 +9%) Caitlin's Court	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Caitlin's Court 10/1, Took a step forward when getting off the mark in handicap at this course (18.5f) last May and ran at least as well when a close second here (21.5f) in October. Below form on her last 3 starts, though, so needs to get back on track after 3 months off. Goes well here but has enough to prove despite the booking of Harry Cobden..
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 -33%) Glance At Me	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Glance At Me 12/1, Won at Plumpton early last season and proved better than ever when also successful at Fakenham in April. Turned in a rare poor effort at the former course on her latest outing, but she appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Needs to bounce back from a lesser effort last time but capable of doing so; respected..

16:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Colonel Lesley wasn't beaten far into third in this grade at Hereford last month and has to be respected off only 2lb higher. However, the eight-year-old could come out second best to KING'S CASTLE, who scored in pleasing fashion in a class 4 event at Warwick last month and the handicapper may have let him off the hook with only a 3lb rise for that triumph. Jeremy Scott's seven-year-old looks well placed to record a double, while Gorcombe Moonshine can fight it out for the minor money.

KING'S CASTLE got the better of an even less-exposed rival when opening his hurdles account at Warwick last month and, with more still to offer in this sphere, he can make it back-to-back wins. Good Impression landed this race last year and is respected back here, while Colonel Lesley could also be thereabouts.

Jeremy Scott-trained KING'S CASTLE looks good value for his 3lb rise but it will not be easy in conceding weight to Colonel Lesley.

17:15 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 -50%) Greatness Awaits	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(2) Greatness Awaits 9/2, Not disgraced when last seen over timber at Market Rasen but arrives after a couple of moderate efforts on the Flat. Has gone close in this sphere from similar marks, though, so isn't discounted. Fair recent Flat form; 0-8 over hurdles but twice placed and he handles good ground okay.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 +35%) Western Soldier	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(3) Western Soldier 13/2, Useful on the Flat in Germany and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in a Plumpton novice in October for Milton Harris. Disappointing in handicaps all 4 starts since, though far too free under restraint on latest and is dangerous to ignore from much-reduced mark. Flat/hurdle winner but below par in both disciplines in two runs for this yard; hood added.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -60%) Ocean Ridge	12 12/1(-60%)	(8) Ocean Ridge 12/1, Had plenty in hand when scoring on the Flat at Wolverhampton in March. Seemingly being brought along gradually back over hurdles since and no surprise if he were to do much better now handicapping. AW winner; entitled to show more over hurdles now switched into a handicap.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +0%) Daany	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Daany 16/1, Finally off the mark at Wincanton in January but in-and-out form since, producing a lesser effort when ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 15/2) 55 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Conditions were heavy when off the mark over hurdles at Wincanton in January (1m7f).
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +25%) Thurley	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(4) Thurley 9/2, Just modest form to date over hurdles, most recently when sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Wears a hood for the first time now. Beaten about 20l since switched to handicaps and his mark has dropped just the 5lb.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/2 +13%) City Roller	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) City Roller 7/2, Maiden who has run better with a tongue tie added to visor the last twice, finishing second of 8 over 18.5f at Stratford latest. Likely to be competitive again. Exposed maiden but gave it a good go from the front at Southwell last month.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 +0%) Mac Be Lucky	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Mac Be Lucky 12/1, Back from 15 months off when good third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, soft) in March but went backwards from that effort when eleventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 20 days ago. Others preferred. Potentially well treated; good run back from an absence; may rebound after last time.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (12/1 +14%) Miss Marette	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Miss Marette 12/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the thirteenth attempt when benefiting from an enterprising ride at Exeter in October. Just one creditable effort since and dropped out tamely at Wincanton in February, so bit to prove. Has the form to feature but latest run following wind surgery was very forgettable.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (16/1 -60%) Clinton Lane	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) Clinton Lane 16/1, Caused a surprise when taking heavy-ground Fontwell maiden in March. Not disgraced when fifth in a handicap there (17.7f, good) 20 days ago but others make greater appeal. Maiden win his standout form; dropped away in a handicap three weeks ago.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 -43%) Elusive Enemy	40 40/1(-43%)	(6) Elusive Enemy 40/1, Surpassed previous form when second in a 2m Worcester maiden hurdle last May but hasn't come close to matching that form since, pulled up on handicap debut at Stratford 9 months ago. Plenty to prove. Can race freely and never got involved under patient tactics last time at Stratford.

17:15 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

CITY ROLLER was denied by just under two lengths into second over an extended 2m2f at Stratford on his latest outing and he is only 2lb higher for that effort. The son of Scorpion lurks on an appealing mark and he can record his first career victory. Clinton Lane was dropped 2lb for finishing fifth in this grade at Fontwell last month and he should get closer, while Thurley goes in a first-time hood, which could eke out more.

Hard to be bullish about many here, so it may be worth chancing WESTERN SOLDIER, who wasn't seen to best effect under restraint at Hereford last time and looks on workable mark based on his Flat form. City Roller remains winless but arrives after a sound runner-up effort and also makes appeal, whilst handicap newcomer Ocean Ridge could do better in this sphere.

A chance is taken on GREATNESS AWAITS, who has hinted at winning potential over hurdles and this year's Flat exploits bode quite well.

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.
