14:35 Newton Abbot Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (1.38/1 +15%) Max Of Stars	1.38 1.38/1(+15%)	(7) Max Of Stars 1.38/1, Modest on the Flat but already better over hurdles, opening her account in ready fashion over C&D last time. Should take all the beating. Second to Hourless on hurdle debut then made all for huge-margin C&D win; big player.
1	1 (1) (1.5/1 +14%) Hourless	1.5 1.5/1(+14%)	(1) Hourless 1.5/1, Just modest form on the Flat but, as is the case with many from this yard, benefited from a switch to hurdling when scoring at Hexham in June. Has run with credit back on the level since and should be thereabouts under a penalty. Nothing special on the Flat but won in good style on hurdle debut at Hexham in June.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +50%) Sgian Dubh	6 6/1(+50%)	(6) Sgian Dubh 6/1, Is out of a half-sister to a useful hurdler and has shown fair form on the Flat, so not without hope having his first go over hurdles. Shaped with significant promise on all three Flat starts in May/June; interesting.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -180%) Secret Sauce	14 14/1(-180%)	(5) Secret Sauce 14/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland, last seen winning a claimer at Gowran. New yard is adept at readying newcomers in this sphere, so one to note. Won Irish Flat claimer in May; with good stable for hurdling career; a possible.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -108%) Logistical	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Logistical 25/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding. Gelded ahead of hurdling debut at Aintree and shaped as if he'd come on for the experience. Fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden) but made low-key stable/hurdle debut last month.
2	2 (2) (66/1 -200%) Hadley Park	66 66/1(-200%)	(2) Hadley Park 66/1, Fair but temperamental handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey. Offered little on hurdling debut at Aintree and has a bit to prove. Fair on the Flat; weakened quickly after racing too freely on stable/hurdle debut.
3	3 (3) (125/1 -150%) Kilcummin	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Kilcummin 125/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but showed nothing on stable/hurdling debut over C&D 26 days ago. Tongue tied now but hard to fancy. Showed some ability on the Flat but was 75l behind Max Of Stars on C&D hurdle debut.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Newton Abbot Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Hourless impressed with an eight-and-a half-length success on his hurdles bow at Hexham last month and he subsequently went close back on the level a couple of weeks later. However, MAX OF STARS (second) paid the price for a jumping error in the aforementioned contest and, having since coasted to a wide-margin C&D success, she could turn the form around. Kilcummin is also considered.

MAX OF STARS stepped forward from her hurdling debut when readily landing a 6-runner C&D event last time and, with the scope for further improvement, she's preferred to Hourless. Secret Sauce is likely to be well prepped for his first run in this sphere, so he's also worthy of respect.

Ollie Pears' free-going filly MAX OF STARS ran her rivals ragged from the front over C&D last molnth and could be hard to catch.

15:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (1.62/1 +14%) Honey I'm Good	1.62 1.62/1(+14%)	(3) Honey I'm Good 1.62/1, Multiple point winner who made a successful hunter chase debut at Chepstow (23.6f, good) in April and, after a lesser run over hurdles, went in again in a handicap here last time. Plenty in hand and should take the beating if she gets the trip. Cruised clear to win over 2m5f here on Monday; hard to beat under 7lb penalty.
2	2 (2) (2.75/1 -22%) Brianna Rose	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(2) Brianna Rose 2.75/1, Consistent hurdler who took well to chasing when scoring easily in a match at Uttoxeter. Should build on that, so solid claims. Placed on four of six hurdle starts last season and easily won a match on chase debut.
5	5 (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Cresswell Queen	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(5) Cresswell Queen 2.75/1, Stripped fitter for her recent comeback and resumed winning ways back over fences at Newton Abbot in June. This is a better race but she can't be discounted. C&D winner off 3lb lower last month; considered if ground is no worse than good to soft.
1	1 (1) (6.5/1 -18%) Paris Dixie	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(1) Paris Dixie 6.5/1, Bumper winner in 2019 and finally off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good to soft) in September. Back on track when second in handicap at Stratford on return and could get involved if taking to chasing. Won over hurdles here (3m2f) in autumn; makes chase debut today; may need good ground.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -27%) Just Hannah	28 28/1(-27%)	(4) Just Hannah 28/1, Point winner who showed modest form in Ireland for Donal Commins and then Charles Byrnes. Only fifth in novice on debut for current yard but type to improve for a switch to handicap chasing. Made low-key stable debut over hurdles this month and is the one with most to prove.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

HONEY I'M GOOD was decent value for her comfortable success over 2m5f here six days ago and she looks progressive enough to cope with the return to this longer trip. Her 7lb penalty is a slight concern and opens the door for the Uttoxeter winner Brianna Rose to throw down a strong challenge. Cresswell Queen is also considered, despite running off 3lb higher than last month's C&D success.

Although only landing a thin race, HONEY I'M GOOD made a taking visual impression when scoring here 6 days ago and she should get the longer trip, so she's taken to defy a penalty at the likely expense of Brianna Rose, who came out on top in a match at Uttoxeter in May. Paris Dixie is an interesting chasing debutant.

It's hard to get away from HONEY I'M GOOD, who appeared to have plenty left in the tank when winning over 2m5f here on Monday.

15:35 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (1.25/1 +17%) Sandalwood	1.25 1.25/1(+17%)	(2) Sandalwood 1.25/1, Improved upped to 3m+ this spring, passing the post first at Taunton (demoted after impeding the second) before finishing runner-up at Plumpton. Made hard work of it when winning maiden at this course (21.6f) 16 days ago, but he's respected over this longer distance. Placed in two spring handicaps (3m/3m1f) and didn't need to improve to win recent maiden.
3	3 (3) (2.25/1 -13%) Jack The Farmer	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(3) Jack The Farmer 2.25/1, Placed on first 5 starts since joining his current yard, before finally getting off the mark with a ready success at Worcester (23f) 13 days ago. Has been raised 8 lb for that performance, but could be able to score again now that he's up and running. In good form for new yard since April and readily drew clear to win at Worcester recently.
1	1 (1) (3.5/1 -17%) Nickelsonthedime	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(1) Nickelsonthedime 3.5/1, Built on a couple of creditable efforts when getting back to winning ways with a second course success at Warwick (26f) in May. Again ran well when runner-up at this C&D last time and can give another good account. Backed up Warwick win in May with good second over C&D last month; in the mix again.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -25%) Wearapinkribbon	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Wearapinkribbon 10/1, Fourteen runs since his last win in 2020. In first-time blinkers, fared better than on his last couple of starts when fourth of 18 in handicap at Exeter (23.1f) in April. Needs to be able to build on his latest effort returning from 3 months off. Placed in first-time blinkers in April but competes from 5lb out of the weights here.
6	6 (6) (28/1 +44%) Janeslittlevoice	28 28/1(+44%)	(6) Janeslittlevoice 28/1, Showed a bit in a trio of novice events in early-2020 and step back in the right direction when fourth in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f) in January last year. However, pulled up next time and off for 17 months since. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hawker and well out of the weights. Not seen since pulled up in February 2022 and is 8lb wrong for stable debut.
5	5 (5) (80/1 -21%) Itsaboutime	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Itsaboutime 80/1, Caused a shock when making a winning return from lengthy absence in Exeter handicap (23.1f) back in spring 2021 but well beaten in just 4 outings since. Best watched. Well beaten on both appearances this season and this 13yo is 6lb wrong today.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Sandalwood justified strong market support when registering a game success in a maiden hurdle here 16 days ago and is back in a handicap off a workable mark. However, NICKELSONTHEDIME edges a narrow vote of confidence given that he wasn't beaten far in a deeper race over C&D last time. Recent Worcester scorer Jack The Farmer has an 8lb higher mark to contended with but also commands respect.

JACK THE FARMER continued his good start for his current yard when scoring readily at Worcester 13 days ago and he can follow up in his current form. Sandalwood also got off the mark when successful here on his latest outing and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Nickelsonthedime.

Nigel Hawke's JACK THE FARMER looked in excellent nick when opening his account at Worcester a fortnight ago and gets the nod.

16:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (0.8/1 -29%) Farouk De Cheneau	0.8 0.8/1(-29%)	(1) Farouk De Cheneau 0.8/1, Has returned from a break an improved performer for a new yard, seemingly aided by a tongue tie, winning handicaps at Fontwell (easily) and over 21f here in recent months. Further 6 lb rise may not stop him if his stamina holds back up in trip. 2-2 for new stable after last month's clearcut course win; rain will dent his appeal.
2	2 (2) (1.88/1 +16%) Landen Calling	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(2) Landen Calling 1.88/1, Largely progressive over hurdles last term (scored twice) and took well to chasing at first attempt when bolting up in 4-runner novice handicap at Bangor (3m) in May. Respectable second of 3 at Aintree (25f) since. Began chasing career with two good runs in the spring, and can cope if there's rain about.
3	3 (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Yes No Maybe So	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(3) Yes No Maybe So 5.5/1, Won 4 handicap hurdles in 2020 and returned to form when runner-up at Ffos Las in January. Hasn't reproduced that since but latest Market Rasen fourth was more encouraging. This is just his second chase start. On very tempting mark but out of form over hurdles, and struggled in only previous chase.
4	4 (4) (125/1 -150%) Master Sam Bellamy	125 125/1(-150%)	(4) Master Sam Bellamy 125/1, Unreliable sort. First run since leaving Miss Chloe Boxall when 80/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) 78 days ago, tailing off some way out. Miles out of the handicap. Pulled up when 80-1 for rules return in May and 25lb out of the weights today.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow

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

FAROUK DE CHENEAU has proved a revelation since joining the Anthony Honeyball yard and the eight-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a hat-trick. His chief rival, Landen Calling, will be hoping that a 6lb rise and step up in trip can dent the selection's chances of winning, and the son of Watar shouldn't be taken lightly. Yes No Maybe So can chase the duo home.

FAROUK DE CHENEAU has thrived for the switch to Anthony Honeyball and can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Landen Calling.

Farouk De Cheneau is respected but LANDEN CALLING has taken well to fences and has less to fear from the weather forecast.

16:35 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (1.5/1 +40%) Sassified	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(5) Sassified 1.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh and confirmed previous promise when getting off the mark at this course (18.5f, good) 26 days ago. Up 6 lb and he may well win again now in the groove. Not an instant success over hurdles but travelled strongly before asserting here in June.
1	1 (1) (1.75/1 +56%) Getaway Tom	1.75 1.75/1(+56%)	(1) Getaway Tom 1.75/1, Confirmed previous promise to get off the mark in decisive fashion at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) a couple of months ago, just shake up to assert. Hiked up 9 lb but with better still to come from him, he's high on the shortlist. Came good with 6l win at Uttoxeter in May; hiked up 9lb but further progress is possible.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +45%) Bala Brook	6 6/1(+45%)	(3) Bala Brook 6/1, Failed to build on promise of his bumper debut at the second attempt in that sphere and has finished runner-up on both starts over hurdles so far at this track (21.6f, good). Makes handicap debut and worth a market check. Second in two 2m5f novice races here this season; open to improvement in handicaps.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +25%) Tally's Son	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) Tally's Son 12/1, Poor strike rate on the Flat (1-42) and he's 0-10 over hurdles. Produced his best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up from 6 lb out of the weights over C&D last month but went off far too hard on his subsequent effort at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft). Must bounce back. Belied 50-1 odds when second over C&D last month but well held since.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -180%) Cumhacht	14 14/1(-180%)	(2) Cumhacht 14/1, Standout effort when runner-up at Ffos Las (20f, good) on penultimate start. Proved to be a disappointment back down in distance when mid-field at Uttoxeter since, so he needs to bounce back quickly. Didn't fire last time but has live claims if judged on earlier second to in-form rival.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -29%) Marley Head	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Marley Head 18/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, though did shape better than the bare result upped in trip after a wind op when eighth at Worcester (20f, good) earlier this month. Needs to brush up his jumping if he's to feature. Unplaced all five hurdling starts but positives can be drawn from his latest run.
6	6 (6) (28/1 +44%) Olly's Folly	28 28/1(+44%)	(6) Olly's Folly 28/1, Long-standing maiden who hasn't shown his form for a while but wasn't seen to best effect after 13 weeks off when mid-field in handicap over C&D last month, left with too much to do. Still looks set for another struggle. 0-15 over hurdles and 0-61 overall; safely held over C&D last month; others preferred.
8	8 (8) (80/1 -142%) Allez Allez Dancer	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Allez Allez Dancer 80/1, Well held in maiden/novice hurdles but capable of making more of an impact now handicapping (also has had a breathing operation since last seen). A well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling starts; makes handicap debut off lowly mark.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

SASSIFIED appeared to win with something in hand when recording a first success over hurdles here in June and the son of Excelebration is fancied to defy a 6lb higher mark. Fellow last-time-out winner Getaway Tom has improved with each run in handicaps and is feared most, despite facing a 9lb hike in the ratings for his Uttoxeter triumph in May. The in-form Vision Of Hope is likely to give her running once more and completes the shortlist.

SASSIFIED opened his account in this sphere in good style here last month and now up and running, he can make light of a 6 lb rise in the weights and follow up at the expense of Getaway Tom, who got off the mark in decisive fashion at Uttoxeter a couple of months ago and there should be better still to come from him. Vision of Hope and Bala Brook can fight out minor honours.

Fair Flat-racer SASSIFIED (nap) got his act together over hurdles here last month and has plenty of scope to build on that performance.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
9	9 (9) (3/1 +88%) Justshortofabubble	3 3/1(+88%)	(9) Justshortofabubble 3/1, Long-standing maiden who was a remote third over C&D in May and was beaten a long way again when fifth at Worcester last month. 6 lb out of the handicap. Best to look elsewhere. 20-race maiden who has been unable to land a significant blow in three chases this season.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +33%) Miladygrace	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Miladygrace 4/1, Didn't show much over hurdles but has won twice and placed on 3 occasions from 6 completed starts in this sphere. Finished lame when a below-form fifth at Ludlow (2m) in May and capable of bouncing back after a short break. Dual chase winner for new stable last season and may still have more to offer.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +38%) Seymour Promise	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) Seymour Promise 5/1, Second in a 3¼m course chase in first-time blinkers (retained) last month, his fourth runner-up finish since returning from a long absence. Just as effective at this shorter trip. Ran quite well when second of four here (3m2f) in June and will be fine over 2m5f.
2	2 (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Finalshot	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(2) Finalshot 5.5/1, Returned from 5 months off to finish a good ¾-length second at Market Rasen (19f) in June. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth back there since, possibly making his move too soon. Back from break with two good efforts at Market Rasen this season; one to consider.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -56%) Scrumpy Boy	7 7/1(-56%)	(5) Scrumpy Boy 7/1, Cheekpieces on when finally getting off the mark over C&D in April 2022. Best effort since when second at Stratford (22.5f) last month. Contender if in similar form. C&D winner last year and back in good form when second at Stratford last month.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -100%) Forget You Not	12 12/1(-100%)	(6) Forget You Not 12/1, Resumed winning ways in a 7-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19f, good) last autumn. One of better efforts since when third of 5 over 2m here last month. Needs to build on that now. Sound effort when third here (2m) last month but the forecast rain is a worry.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -45%) Abaya Du Mathan	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Abaya Du Mathan 16/1, Veteran who impressed with the way he travelled when landing a 5-runner event at Ffos Las in June but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Worcester since. Made all at Ffos Las last month, his eighth chase win; well held since but rain no problem.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -220%) Cheer's Delboy	16 16/1(-220%)	(7) Cheer's Delboy 16/1, Long-standing maiden. Best effort for a while when second back chasing at Warwick at the end of May. It looked a weak race but the winner did follow up. Should be thereabouts with a repeat. Ran well in defeat last time but career strike-rate is now 0-19.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -78%) Master Mead	16 16/1(-78%)	(8) Master Mead 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, close up in fourth (but looked held) when unseating 2 out on chase/handicap debut at Southwell (3m, good) 41 days ago. Back down in trip. 3 lb out of the weights. In process of making promising chase/handicap debut before unseating rider last month.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

SCRUMPY BOY isn't the easiest to predict, nevertheless, the veteran returned to form with a second-placed effort at Stratford last month and now returns to the C&D of his last success. Keiran Burke's gelding shades the vote, ahead of Finalshot, who has posted two creditable performances in defeat this season. Seymour Promise is lightly raced over fences and also enters the equation having showed more verve in first-time blinkers when runner-up here last time.

FINALSHOT might have gone for home a fraction too soon last time and is worth another chance to fully confirm the promise of his penultimate Market Rasen second. Former C&D scorer Scrumpy Boy was back on song when second at Stratford last time and is second choice ahead of Cheer's Delboy.

Another chance is given to MILADYGRACE, who did pretty well for Martin Keighley last term and can be excused her below-par run in May.

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.
