14:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (0.62/1 +23%) Guinness Affair	0.62 0.62/1(+23%)	(2) Guinness Affair 0.62/1, Missed all of last season and came on plenty for his recent run with a facile victory in a 3-runner Hexham handicap (15.6f, good) 12 days ago. Sure to go on to better things as a chaser and will take all the beating. Much improved on second chasing start when winning easily at Hexham; 7lb penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +0%) Magistrato	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Magistrato 4/1, Made final start for Paul Nicholls a winning one in May and shaped as if still retaining his ability when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good to firm, 8/1) 21 days ago, travelling strongly. Respected. Beat these two rivals at Warwick (for Paul Nicholls); well held on stable debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 -22%) Stepney Causeway	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(1) Stepney Causeway 2.75/1, Useful hurdles winner for Dan Skelton and finally took advantage of slipping mark to score for the first time over fences in a 4-runner event at Worcester last time. Penalised here and perhaps possesses less scope than his rivals. First chase win at 12th attempt when beating three rivals at Worcester; 7lb penalty.

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

Guinness Affair was impressive when landing a similar contest at Hexham last month and, given the margin of success that day, he is respected despite the 7lb penalty. However, he was no match for MAGISTRATO when they met at Warwick in May and he might again finished behind that rival. The recent Worcester-scorer Stepney Causeway also has something to find with the selection based on that aforementioned encounter and he too looks opposable under a 7lb penalty.

GUINNESS AFFAIR coasted clear to win at Hexham on his second chase start in the manner of a horse who should go onto better things, so he's fancied to account for his 2 rivals under a penalty. Magistrato and Stepney Causeway both have recent wins to their name and can't be fully dismissed, though both lack the latent potential of the selection.

Much improved when winning easily at Hexham, GUINNESS AFFAIR can follow up.

15:15 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.67/1 +70%) Sandalwood	0.67 0.67/1(+70%)	(3) Sandalwood 0.67/1, Has improved for the step up to 3m+ this spring, passing the post first at Taunton (subsequently disqualified after impeding the runner-up) before second at Plumpton. Dropped in trip but should go well again for top yard. Every chance on handicap efforts on latest two starts; down in trip; can ran too freely.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Clapton Hill	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Clapton Hill 4.5/1, Shaped well when placed only start in bumpers but record over hurdles is patchy, only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Player on pick of efforts though with tongue strap on 1st time. Hasn't progressed in handicaps but better chances back in maiden company; tongue-strap on.
3	2 3rd (2) (50/1 -67%) Oval Street	50 50/1(-67%)	(2) Oval Street 50/1, Three-time point winner showed up well for a long way before taking a fall late on his hunter debut at Stratford last year. Little promise when down the field at Fakenham in May, though, and has plenty to prove making yard/hurdles debut here. Moderate winning pointer; best watched on stable/hurdle debut.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 +52%) Supreme Johnson	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Supreme Johnson 16/1, Dual point winner made the frame once from 3 starts in bumpers for M. Osborne. Shaped reasonably well when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good, 20/1) on hurdles bow 10 days ago, in contention until weakening from the home turn, but a step forward is required. Beaten long way on recent C&D hurdle/stable debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +60%) Just Hannah	4 4/1(+60%)	(5) Just Hannah 4/1, Point winner showed modest form in Ireland for Donal Commins and then Charles Byrnes, failing to land a gamble for the latter yard when eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (11/4) at Tramore (21.6f, good) 34 days ago. Others preferred. Best Irish form gives claims but not at best this year; British debut; hood fitted.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -25%) My Keepsake	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) My Keepsake 25/1, Fair in bumpers but has yet to come close to matching that form over hurdles, no improvement for the application of blinkers in a Doncaster handicap (24.4f, soft) when last seen 18 months ago. Hard to warm to having since left Philip Hobbs. Point winner in May; unplaced in five outings over hurdles two seasons ago.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (12/1 -50%) Chosen Bae	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Chosen Bae 12/1, Mount Nelson filly from the family of useful hurdler/high-class staying chaser Burton Port. Runner-up on debut in Irish points before coming home last of 3 finishers latest. Market can guide as to expectations. Placed in both Irish points this spring; worth market look on hurdle debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (300/1 -355%) Musical Mistress	300 300/1(-355%)	(6) Musical Mistress 300/1, Pulled up sole start in points and on Rules debut over C&D last month. Tongue strap applied but she's impossible to fancy. Pulled up in a point and on C&D hurdle debut; tongue-strap on.

LTO Selection:

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

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

SANDALWOOD appeals most as he tries to go one place better than his good second at Plumpton when last seen. The gelding pulled hard in the early stages that day and, with the drop in trip likely to suit, he could be hard to beat. Clapton Hill is a possible improver with a first-time tongue-tie applied, while similar comments apply to Presenting Nelly, who has scope to progress on only her second outing over hurdles.

PRESENTING NELLY shaped well until her absence told when making her hurdles debut at Southwell late last month. She's fancied to add to her bumper success with improvement anticipated, though Sandalwood is a threat after good efforts in handicaps on his last 2 outings. Clapton Hill has struggled for consistency over hurdles but he also possesses the ability to get involved if putting his best foot forward.

The handicap form of SANDALWOOD entitles him to go very close.

15:50 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 17f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (10/1 +29%) Manor Park	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Manor Park 10/1, C&D winner but he came in only sixth of 7 in handicap on Flat at Lingfield 36 days ago. Switches to hurdles with a bit to prove. Two C&D wins but still 5lb above highest winning mark so needs career-best effort.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 -27%) Glorious Zoff	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(1) Glorious Zoff 3.5/1, Rejuvenated following a breathing operation and landed 2m Warwick handicap before falling last when in control at Bangor 27 days ago. Can gain compensation despite taking a 4 lb rise. Narrow Warwick winner and unlucky next time; up 4lb so might need more progress.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +13%) Just The Man	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Just The Man 14/1, It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022 and only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle over C&D 30 days ago when retried in cheekpieces. Others appeal more. Behind two of these over C&D last month and now 2-24 as a hurdler.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 -33%) Coolnaugh Haze	4 4/1(-33%)	(5) Coolnaugh Haze 4/1, Fair handicap hurdler who comes here in good nick, third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces go on. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Consistent in all recent starts; change of jockey and cheekpieces could prove the key.
5th	7 5th (7) (5.5/1 +8%) Cabrakan	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(7) Cabrakan 5.5/1, Dual winner at Newcastle and Hereford last season. Back to form when second at Uttoxeter latest but needs to brush up his jumping. 2-6 over hurdles and possibly best effort yet when second at Uttoxeter latest.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -18%) Thahab Ifraj	33 33/1(-18%)	(8) Thahab Ifraj 33/1, Capitalised on a falling mark when successful at Fontwell last August but below par all three runs since, last of seven at Hexham 20 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Needs to have benefited from recent return from a break; on a fair mark now.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 +9%) Throne Hall	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Throne Hall 5/1, Useful on the Flat and winner of first 2 starts over hurdles. Below form since though so first-time blinkers need to spark a resurgence. Hasn't really lived up to expectations as a hurdler; blinkers need to give him a boost.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (4/1 +0%) For Pleasure	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) For Pleasure 4/1, Free-going front runner who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 to Glorious Zoff in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Weighted to go well if building on it. Behind Glorious Zoff two starts ago and fell latest; usually makes the running.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

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

GLORIOUS ZOFF had the race at his mercy when falling at the last at Bangor last month and he is taken to atone here. The six-year-old was put up 4lb by the handicapper despite that mishap, but it would come as no surprise to see the gelding put the record straight with a clear round. Coolnaugh Haze is a threat with first-time cheekpieces applied, while Throne Hall and Cabrakan are also players at this level.

GLORIOUS ZOFF hasn't looked back since undergoing wind surgery and can make amends for his last-flight fall at Bangor when having the race in safe keeping. For Pleasure took a step back in the right direction when fifth to Fergal O'Brien's improver at Warwick and rates the chief threat ahead of the reliable Coolnaugh Haze.

Plenty to consider but THRONE HALL is selected, in the hope that blinkers have a positive effect.

16:25 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.62/1 +7%) Bashful Boy	1.62 1.62/1(+7%)	(1) Bashful Boy 1.62/1, Has failed to complete on last 2 hurdling outings but well treated and has thrived on the Flat since, so makes plenty of appeal returning to this sphere. Two good Flat wins since two hurdling falls in the spring; strong shout if avoiding mishap.
2	8 2nd (8) (2.5/1 +72%) The Height Of Fame	2.5 2.5/1(+72%)	(8) The Height Of Fame 2.5/1, Prolific last season but signed off with a sub-par run at Chepstow 5 months ago and is likely to need this return. Four wins last year; tailed off when last seen in February; may bounce back; front-runner.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +17%) Halifax	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Halifax 5/1, Gained a deserved first success in handicap at Exeter (2m7f) in February and confirmed his return to form when doubling his tally in a small-field contest at Ffos Las in June. Might have found the race coming too soon at Uttoxeter since. Ground possibly too soft latest and had won previous start; stays well.
4	5 4th (5) (7.5/1 -25%) Tulin	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(5) Tulin 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best for Paul Nicholls and took a step back in right direction when third at Ffos Las on debut for current stable. Worthy of respect in first-time blinkers. Led for long way when third on stable debut; chance may depend on effect of blinkers.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (6/1 +50%) Runswick Bay	6 6/1(+50%)	(3) Runswick Bay 6/1, Runner-up at Fontwell in May but both subsequent runs have been disappointing, leaving him with something to prove. Second in April but not so good since and beaten 40l on latest start.

LTO Selection:

16:25 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Komedy Kicks finished second last time over an extended 2m2f and she could improve for the step up in distance off the same mark. However, BASHFUL BOY looks the one to be with as he has been in fine form on the Flat recently, securing a double, and returns to this sphere off a mark of 117. He struck off 122 in June last year, which shows he is well treated enough to go in. Pink Eyed Pedro is another to consider.

BASHFUL BOY is handicapped to win in this sphere and has been in excellent form on the Flat lately, so he's a confident choice ahead of Pink Eyed Pedro, who was second at Stratford earlier in the week.

Although he has fallen in his latest two hurdle starts, BASHFUL BOY is still worth chancing.

17:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (12/1 -85%) Mr Mafia	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Mr Mafia 12/1, Has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 7 lb lower than for his Ludlow success last spring), but this veteran ran no sort of a race at Huntingdon when last seen in November and now has something to prove. Won off 7lb higher in May 2022 but not in great form when last seen in the autumn.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +33%) O'Faolains Lad	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) O'Faolains Lad 3/1, Managed to complete for the first time since returning from a lengthy absence when third of 11 at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to firm) in May, but he was beaten a fair way and 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights here. Has undergone a wind op. Three non-completions on return from long absence but better latest and wind op since.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.25/1 +34%) Investment Manager	1.25 1.25/1(+34%)	(3) Investment Manager 1.25/1, Winning hurdler who opened his chase account at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in April. Creditable second over this C&D in first-time blinkers (retained) last time but made hard work of things and by no means certain to back that effort up. Has undergone a wind op. Back to form with C&D second latest; wind surgery since and tongue-strap also fitted.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) D'Jango	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) D'Jango 4.5/1, Won 3 times during busy 2022/23 campaign, with his latest success at Lingfield in February. More miss than hit since but he didn't run badly in this headgear combination when second in a small-field Market Rasen handicap (27.6f, good) last time. Inconsistent but on a competitive mark if on a good day.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (5.5/1 -65%) Danny Whizzbang	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(2) Danny Whizzbang 5.5/1, It's been a struggle since he last got his head in front at Huntingdon in April 2022 and has failed to complete on each of his last 3 starts (all over hurdles). However, resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark and with his yard in fine form. Out of sorts over hurdles and plenty to prove now returning to chases.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

DANNY WHIZZBANG has dropped to an appealing mark for the Milton Harris yard and he gets the vote now returning to fences after falling at Huntingdon last time over hurdles. Investment Manager was a long way clear of the third when second over C&D last time in this grade and he should be thereabouts off 1lb higher, while D'jango isn't out of it either.

With the Milton Harris yard going great guns, DANNY WHIZZBANG could be the answer returned to this sphere on an attractive mark and with Harry Cobden up. Given his somewhat in-and-out profile, it remains to be seen if Investment Manager will be able to back up his latest C&D effort, but he is nevertheless feared most ahead of D'Jango.

The likeliest winner appears to be INVESTMENT MANAGER (nap).

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.73/1 -9%) Olivers Travels	0.73 0.73/1(-9%)	(1) Olivers Travels 0.73/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and, well backed, went one better switched to a bumper at Worcester (2m) 16 days ago. Looks up to defying a penalty. Second in an Irish point; won Worcester bumper last month; 7lb penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.25/1 +59%) Sangiovese	2.25 2.25/1(+59%)	(4) Sangiovese 2.25/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Abingworth. Dam (h135) 2m-21f hurdle winner. One to note in the betting on debut. Half-brother to winning hurdler; stable does reasonably in bumpers; could be a threat.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -200%) Maillot Vert	10 10/1(-200%)	(2) Maillot Vert 10/1, Dunaden gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including ungenuine but smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Up And Go, stayed 23f, and fair hurdler Maillot Blanc. Showed some ability when second in 6-runner C&D event on debut 23 days ago and may do better. Second over C&D on debut last month; probably needs to improve.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -6%) Monocular	9 9/1(-6%)	(3) Monocular 9/1, £9,000 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Carrig Cathal, stays 23f. Dam (h97) 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Some appeal on breeding; stable has modest record in bumpers but is in good form.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Newton Abbot NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Olivers Travels struck on his debut under Rules at Worcester when accounting for his nearest rival by three lengths and he ought to have a say once again, but the five-year-old could find it tough to give a 7lb penalty away to MAILLOT VERT. The son of Dunaden showed enough promise on his racecourse bow over C&D to suggest that he has the ability required to take this. Any market support for newcomer Sangiovese should be noted.

OLIVERS TRAVELS opened his Rules account at the first attempt in ready fashion at Worcester 16 days ago and looks up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature on that evidence. Maillot Vert showed some ability on his C&D debut and is fancied to give the selection most to do, though a market move for newcomer Sangiovese would be noteworthy.

After winning what looked a stronger contest at Worcester, OLIVERS TRAVELS can defy the penalty.

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.
