Newton Abbot
Amateur Handicap | Hurdle | 2m 167y
Saint Polo
SAINT POLO seemed to benefit from a more positive ride with a tongue strap added when readily getting off the mark at Stratford last week and, unpenalised for that, his follow up claims look crystal clear. Cogital has tasted success on each of his last 2 visits here and is next best, ahead of Linden Lane.

In good hands and he built on earlier promise returned to hurdling with a tongue strap added when readily opening his account under a positive ride at Stratford (19f) last week. Escapes a penalty for that success and his follow up claims are strong.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 2f 148yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/4Fontwell Park2m 1f 165yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase7/8Taunton2m 7f 198yGoodHurdle3/5Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/7Leicester1m 7f 113yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle9/12- 1Norman FletcherJ: Miss Amber Jackson-FennellT: Nigel & Willy Twiston-DaviesP9837-7Age 77/27/210/3

Winless since 2024 and a drop in grade failed to have positive effect when last of 7 in a Warwick handicap (21f) 5 weeks ago, jumping ponderously and tailed off 3 out. Drop in trip needs to have a positive effect now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick2m 5f 5yGoodHurdle7/7Haydock Park2m 5f 50yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/11Bangor-on-dee2m 3f 123yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/7Ascot1m 7f 157ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/15Cheltenham2m 5fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle9/18- 8Linden LaneJ: Miss Eleanor WilliamsT: Mrs C.

Maiden who was in reasonable order to start 2026 and dispelled a pair of lesser efforts from much-reduced mark when third of 6 in a C&D handicap 11 days ago.

Ran no sort of race at Wincanton in April and wasn't sufficiently revived by a 7-week break/change of headgear (cheekpieces refitted) when seventh behind Cogital over C&D 3 weeks ago. Finds himself on a handy mark if stepping forward from that but recent record is patchy.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 167yGoodHurdle7/12Wincanton1m 7f 50yGoodHurdle7/8Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/12Exeter2m 5f 137yHeavyHurdle6/7Wincanton1m 7f 50ySoftHurdle4/13- 2RoadshowJ: Mr Lucas MurphyT: Paul Nicholls3U3417-Age 57/17/115/2

Fairly useful winner on Flat in France who opened his hurdles account at Sedgefield (17f) in September. Lacked same verve when seventh in a slightly stronger affair at Kempton a month later and he now returns from 10 months off retired in cheekpieces.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2mGood (Good to Firm in Places)Hurdle7/9Sedgefield2m 178yGoodHurdle1/11Newton Abbot2m 2f 110yGoodHurdle4/7Newton Abbot2m 2f 110yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle3/6Newton Abbot2m 167yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdleur/7- 4ChillhiJ: Mr Louis BurkeT: Barry John Murphy357-039Age 620/120/118/1

Won twice over hurdles for James Owen in first half of last season but hasn't offered much for present yard, jumping sketchily when well beaten at Uttoxeter (23f) 10 days ago.

Just the one win over hurdles for Miss Elizabeth Doyle in Ireland but didn't fare at all badly when last seen over fences in the autumn and now returns to hurdles for new yard who have been amongst the winners of late.

Veteran who represents a stable in form and gained a second C&D success in as many visits here when landing a 12-runner contest at the start of the month. Subsequent 4 lb rise asks for more but respected nevertheless.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 167yGoodHurdle1/12Southwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlat5/11Wolverhampton1m 4f 51yStandardFlat9/11Chepstow2m 16yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/7Chepstow2m 16yGood to SoftHurdle12/13
