14:32 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.62/1 +46%) Carrigeen Kampala	1.62 1.62/1(+46%)	(2) Carrigeen Kampala 1.62/1, Progressive hurdler who won 3 on the bounce between April and June. Miles clear of the rest when chasing home another progressive type at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) and she remains open to improvement. Three hurdle wins this spring; has a bit to find with Father Of Jazz but still respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.53/1 -47%) Father Of Jazz	0.53 0.53/1(-47%)	(1) Father Of Jazz 0.53/1, Useful Flat winner for Roger Varian but didn't quite match expectations in a trio of hurdle starts for Dan Skelton. However, firmly on track since switched to the James Owen yard, completing the hat-trick in an Aintree handicap last time, and will prove hard to beat back in novice company. 3-3 for new stable in the spring, with latest win gained in Class 3 Aintree handicap.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -43%) Ar El Bee	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Ar El Bee 20/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1m) for David Menuisier. No real impact in a couple of starts in this sphere to date and will need to take a big step forward if he's to trouble Father of Jazz and Carrigeen Kampala. Did not convince with jumping when safely held in two novice hurdles for Oliver Sherwood.
4	3 4th (3) (150/1 +0%) Bowmans Dream	150 150/1(+0%)	(3) Bowmans Dream 150/1, Sent off at 200/1 and didn't show much starting out in an 18.5f maiden here in July. Well-beaten 200-1 shot here (2m2f, good to soft) on belated debut in July.
5th	4 5th (4) (40/1 +39%) Thrifty Scot	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) Thrifty Scot 40/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Lady Valerie but no real short-term promise in pair of hurdle outings to make him of significant interest here. Likely type for low-grade handicaps in due course. Showed only minor promise in 2m2f maiden hurdle here in July.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -32%) Time To Burn	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Time To Burn 66/1, Modest maiden on Flat who bettered previous hurdles efforts when third of 8 on handicap debut in this sphere at Wincanton (15.2f, good) in March. Absent since and looks vulnerable back in novice company. Placed off lowly mark in March but faces very tough task on these terms.

LTO Selection:

14:32 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

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

FATHER OF JAZZ sets a lofty standard with a rating of 132 after his comfortable success at Aintree in June and he could potentially have a lot more improvement in him for the James Owen stable. The six-year-old looks very difficult to oppose in this. Carrigeen Kampala is likely to be the one to chase him home after her Stratford second, while Ar El Bee looks the most interesting of the rest.

FATHER OF JAZZ has clicked over hurdles since a stable switch during the spring, completing the hat-trick in good style at Aintree when last seen in June. He remains open to improvement in this sphere and gets the nod ahead of Carrigeen Kampala, who is also going the right way.

15:07 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.25/1 -25%) Valentino Dancer	1.25 1.25/1(-25%)	(2) Valentino Dancer 1.25/1, Flat/hurdle winner. Runner-up both starts switched to fences this summer, although he did rather give it away over 2m here latterly, looking in control until idling on the run-in and collared in the dying strides. Seemed to get caught unawares when headed on the line here last time.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +70%) Shot Tower	12 12/1(+70%)	(3) Shot Tower 12/1, Poor form over hurdles and beaten a long way on his chase/handicap debut at Worcester in June. 24 lb out of the handicap. Tailed off on latest chase start and he's 24lb out of the weights here.
3	1 3rd (1) (0.83/1 +9%) Time Flies By	0.83 0.83/1(+9%)	(1) Time Flies By 0.83/1, Fell on his Bangor chase debut last summer but in good form over hurdles subsequently, winning a 19f Fontwell maiden and 2½m Ffos Las handicap hurdle (readily) at the end of 2022. First start for 8 months. Probably the way to go. Fell mid-race when trying fences once before last summer; has won his last two hurdles.

LTO Selection:

15:07 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

TIME FLIES BY was last seen in December when scoring by two lengths at Ffos Las over the smaller obstacles and he now returns to the chasing ranks, where he fell on his only start to date. The son of Getaway could prove tough to stop if he has a clean round on this occasion, with only two rivals to beat. Valentino Dancer looks the best of those after his second at Newton Abbot in this grade, while Shot Tower needs to find significant improvement to get involved.

TIME FLIES BY came to grief on his previous attempt over fences but he bolted up over hurdles when last seen at the end of 2022 and he might be worth siding with to account for Valentino Dancer, who might not be one for maximum faith over fences after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory here last time.

15:07 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:43 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +21%) Dan's Chosen	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(4) Dan's Chosen 5.5/1, Returned to form from out of the blue with cheekpieces refitted when scoring over C&D in July but was well held returning to this track (good) 3 weeks later, left behind from end of back straight. Tough to support with much confidence after that. C&D winner in July but rather typical of him to run so moderately next time.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.4/1 +30%) Chief Black Robe	0.4 0.4/1(+30%)	(1) Chief Black Robe 0.4/1, Vastly improved over fences for his new yard this term, readily completing a 4-timer at Worcester in July. Forced to settle for a minor role in a much deeper handicap at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft) 6 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity to regain the winning thread. Winning run came to a halt in the Summer Plate but still ran well on ground too soft.
3	3 3rd (3) (6.5/1 +0%) Reserve Tank	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(3) Reserve Tank 6.5/1, Represents an in-form yard and took advantage of tumbling mark to record first success since 2019/20 campaign at Market Rasen (19f) in June. However, he was tailed-off last at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 4 days ago and can't be viewed as a reliable betting proposition. Looks unreliable and turns to blinkers which haven't done wonders for him previously.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (10/1 -122%) Mr Mafia	10 10/1(-122%)	(2) Mr Mafia 10/1, Veteran campaigner who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor when making a winning return from 8 months off at this course (25.8f, good) in July, closed down only late on. Only 2 lb higher now but he'll need to pull out more if he's to follow up here. Only 2lb higher than for recent course win but that was a more suitable 3m2f.

LTO Selection:

15:43 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

It's hard to get away from the claims of CHIEF BLACK ROBE, who put in a bold display to finish fourth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen on his latest outing and he was dropped 1lb for that effort. The seven-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and he can strike. Last-time-out victor Mr Mafia can give him the most to do, as long as the step back in trip doesn't hinder his chances too much. Reserve Tank didn't appear to get home last time and could be forgiven for that to beat Dan's Chosen home for third.

Just the 4 runners and this represents a good opportunity for CHIEF BLACK ROBE to regain the winning thread back at a track where he enjoyed a couple of wide-margin wins earlier this summer. He can get the better of veteran Mr Mafia, who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor here in July and is double the selection's age. Reserve Tank can fill out third spot.

Mr Mafia can go well from the front but CHIEF BLACK ROBE can return to winning ways back on his favoured good ground.

16:17 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -75%) Sebastopol	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Sebastopol 7/1, Smart chaser who proved better than ever when seeing off Stage Star in a Grade 2 Newbury novice in November. Departed before the race began in earnest there back from a break in March but was good third in the 2022 Swinton Hurdle on latest start in this sphere and merits respect. Smart chaser; has fitness to prove after six-month absence but a player if fully tuned up.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Francky Du Berlais	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) Francky Du Berlais 6.5/1, Eye-catching third in a 21.4f handicap chase at Market Rasen in June and shaped better than the bare result over the same C&D next time. However, failed to make a meaningful impact returned to this sphere at Cartmel last time and looks vulnerable. On a workable mark but finished tired when fifth at Cartmel a week ago; others preferred.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Pyramid Place	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Pyramid Place 4.5/1, Winner of 2 of his last 3 hurdles starts, both over 2¾m at Cartmel, and creditable third over this C&D in between. Failed to fire on the Flat recently but it would be no surprise were he to pick up where left off in this sphere and play a leading role. Yard also saddles Songo. Well beaten on the Flat last month but battled well for good hurdle win in July.
4	8 4th (8) (11/1 +8%) Edison Kent	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Edison Kent 11/1, Winner of a big-field Killarney maiden hurdle for Jessica Harrington back in May 2021. Largely struggled since and offered little in 2 starts for Paul Webber but wouldn't be the first to benefit from the switch to this yard and he's one to note in the betting. Well beaten on both starts this summer but new trainer has quickly made a name for himself.
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Caius Marcius	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(2) Caius Marcius 4.5/1, Admirable veteran who has landed 4 handicap hurdles since October, the latest gained over this C&D when returning from a break at the end of July. This is more demanding up 6 lb but he's a player nonetheless. Sprightly 12yo who won similar race to this over C&D in late July.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 +18%) Get Back Get Back	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Get Back Get Back 9/1, Jumped better than usual when resuming with impressive success in 2m Kempton handicap in November and bounced back to a similar level when runner-up at Plumpton in April. Failed to threaten on the Flat last time, though, and stamina to prove back up in trip here. Good second in Sussex Champion Hurdle in April but has stamina to prove over new trip here.
7th	7 7th (7) (3.5/1 -27%) Songo	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(7) Songo 3.5/1, Developed into a fairly useful performer on the Flat last year, winning three times, and has left previous hurdles form behind of late, landing the odds in a pair of C&D novice events with minimum fuss under Harry Cobden. More on his plate now handicapping in this sphere but he's clearly talented. Back over hurdles with two 11l wins over C&D this summer; handicap debut today.
8th	4 8th (4) (7.5/1 +53%) Fix At All	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(4) Fix At All 7.5/1, Landed a brace of hunters at Ludlow at the end of last season for Michael Scudamore and performed well on yard debut when runner-up in a Market Rasen handicap chase in June. Not disgraced there next time but on a tough-looking mark for his hurdles debut on these shores (2-6 over timber in France). Second in handicap chase on stable debut in June; first hurdle start since 2021.

LTO Selection:

16:17 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

An easy winner over C&D the last twice in novice hurdles, SONGO could be very well treated off a mark of 120 on his handicap debut. Harry Cobden retains the ride and he should have too much for Caius Marcius, who scored over C&D in July. Sebastopol is intriguing on his return to hurdles and he can have a say, along with Fix At All.

Milton Harris fields strong candidates in PYRAMID PLACE and Songo. The latter will prove popular following back-to-back C&D novice wins and is accorded plenty of respect. However, his jumping will face a sterner test now pitched into handicap company and Pyramid Place, who was at the top of his game in this sphere prior to a low-key run on the Flat, is preferred at the likely prices. In-form veteran Caius Marcius and Sebastopol are others to consider, while Edison Kent is also worth a look.

16:52 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (5/1 -82%) Stepney Causeway	5 5/1(-82%)	(2) Stepney Causeway 5/1, Useful hurdles winner for Dan Skelton. Opened chase account for present stable at Worcester in June and went in again at over C&D 11 days ago despite being reluctant to race initially. Others appeal more. C&D winner 11 days ago, despite almost refusing to race and giving others a big headstart.
1	4 1st (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Kauto The King	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Kauto The King 4.5/1, C&D winner. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at this course (21f, good) 33 days ago. Back down in trip after wind op. Ungenuine type. Eight-time winner over fences but has regressed since last summer and is 4lb wrong today.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Romanor	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(5) Romanor 4.5/1, 3-time C&D winner but he came in last of 5 in handicap chase here (21f, good) 11 days ago. Back down in trip with more needed from 4 lb out of the handicap. Three-time course winner; didn't fire here last time, though, and is not easy to predict.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.38/1 +27%) El Borracho	1.38 1.38/1(+27%)	(1) El Borracho 1.38/1, Likeable, versatile campaigner who comes here on the back of success in 5-runner handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f, good) 12 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Another bold showing is on the cards. Looked in career-best form at Bangor recently and is now 6-9 over fences.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -50%) Blueberry Wine	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Blueberry Wine 6/1, Likeable type who scored at Huntingdon and Aintree in early summer. Only fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Stratford (17f, good to soft) 41 days ago but the sort to bounce back. Didn't fire last time but won three chases in the spring and enters calculations.

LTO Selection:

16:52 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A taking winner at Bangor last time out, EL BORRACHO must hold every chance of following up and carrying on his terrific record in this sphere. The eight-year-old is preferred to Stepney Causeway, who was a determined winner over C&D last time out, as well as the capable Blueberry Wine. Romanor's last victory came over C&D in September 2022 and he cannot be ruled out either.

EL BORRACHO went with plenty of verve when scoring at Bangor last time and looks weighted to follow up despite taking a 6 lb rise for that success. Blueberry Wine is another likeable sort and appeals as the one to give the selection most to do despite fluffing his lines at Stratford.

17:27 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 +17%) Good Impression	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) Good Impression 10/1, C&D winner who posted a creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Can give another good account off the same mark. C&D winner in June and still on a workable mark; no surprise if he features.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 +31%) Getaway Tom	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(2) Getaway Tom 2.75/1, On the up since sent handicapping, getting off the mark at Uttoxeter before excellent second placings over C&D and at Bangor when his jumping still lacked polish. Player once more. Second twice (once over C&D) since comfortable Uttoxeter win in May; in the mix again.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 +30%) Vin Rouge	7 7/1(+30%)	(9) Vin Rouge 7/1, C&D winner in June and not disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 9 days ago. Possibilities off a 2 lb lower mark. Held twice off revised mark since quite stylish C&D win in June.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -100%) Karannelle	14 14/1(-100%)	(3) Karannelle 14/1, C&D winner. In good form until unseated rider 3rd in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 9 days ago. Hood back on and needs considering. Strong-travelling mare who was placed off today's mark over C&D last month.
5th	6 5th (6) (3.33/1 -33%) Sassified	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(6) Sassified 3.33/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh and progressive now over hourdes, scoring twice here this summer, latest over C&D. Not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. Not an instant success over hurdles but has won his last two here; commands respect.
6th	10 6th (10) (4.5/1 +25%) Escobedo	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(10) Escobedo 4.5/1, Still without a victory but he returned to form when runner-up in 2m2f handicap here in June. Not discounted after a break. Rallied well for second behind next-time-out winner Sassified here in June; shortlisted.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 +18%) Ascot Day	33 33/1(+18%)	(11) Ascot Day 33/1, Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles in spring 2022 but lightly raced and below par since. Has something to prove. Back from long absence with two heavy defeats this summer and has a lot to prove.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 -14%) Pepsiwithacap	25 25/1(-14%)	(7) Pepsiwithacap 25/1, Still a maiden but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle over C&D 11 days ago. One for the shortlist. Sound effort when fourth over C&D 11 days ago but her British record is very mixed.
9th	1 9th (1) (20/1 -122%) Lady Reset	20 20/1(-122%)	(1) Lady Reset 20/1, Likeable mare who got back on track when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago. She can go well again off a 3 lb lower mark. Ran quite well on slower-than-ideal ground last month and is on a good mark now.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (8.5/1 +29%) Turpin Gold	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(4) Turpin Gold 8.5/1, Got off the mark in a Stratford novice (16.3f) last September but been rather a mixed bag since, fair fifth of 6 in handicap over C&D 11 days ago. Weighted to go well though if on his A-game. Second off this mark at Uttoxeter in July and didn't run badly over C&D 11 day ago.

LTO Selection:

17:27 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

A winner here the last twice, including over C&D last time out, SASSIFIED continues to go from strength to strength and a career-high mark of 90 may not be enough to stop him going in again. Not outside the first two on any on his last three starts, Getaway Tom looks to his main danger, ahead of C&D winner Karannelle.

A few with chances but GETAWAY TOM has improved with every run since going into handicap company so edges the vote. Sassified is also going the right way now in this sphere and rates a big threat in his hat-trick bid. C&D winner Karannelle and the handily-weighted Turpin Gold are two others to consider in a competitive handicap.

This looks competitive for the grade but dual course winner SASSIFIED (nap) could still have significant further improvement to come.

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.
