Newbury Betting Odds

Lightly-raced gelding who recorded back-to-back victories at Worcester (both 20f) last autumn. Posted creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) since and looks a likely player here.

Sole success thus far came over C&D last season and back to that sort of form when third of 17 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (24.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Merits consideration.

Posted career best when scoring at Exeter (16.7f) on final start last term but yet to reach that level in a couple of outings this season. Tries longer trip now.

Posted a third win at Leicester with a career best in 6-runner handicap hurdle (20.5f, heavy) in December. Below form at Wincanton since but can't be ruled out.

On a long losing run but has dropped to a handy mark and likely to have been in the mix but for a late error at Taunton last time. Respected.

Showed improved form to get off the mark on his second handicap start when successful at Lingfield (19.5f) last month. Shaped as if still in good form when third at Plumpton since and can make presence felt.

Fair runner-up in 2½m handicap for Paul Nolan but has made a low-key start for new connections this year and is hard to recommend at present.

Not scored since 2024 and was never in the hunt at Taunton a fortnight ago.

Fair form over hurdles/fences in France but hasn't offered any obvious promise in 3 handicap hurdles for new yard this season.

Goes well in the mud and came agonisingly close to making a winning reappearance at Leicester in December. Seemingly gone wrong way since, however.

Point winner who showed his first form under Rules when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at this course (16.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. More needed to take a hand on switch to handicaps now, though.
