14:02 – Edmundson Electrical Cabletec Plymouth Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 4 | Going: 2.02 & 4.22 +22yds, 2.37 & 5.30 +19yds, 3.12 & 4.55 +35yds and 3.47 +40yds) (Good (goingstick 6.0) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This looks a fairly thin maiden on paper and, to be blunt, the market has probably latched onto the right pair. Depalma and Penzance bring the standout form, with the latter already operating to a higher mark and the former arriving off a solid second after a break. The rest have plenty to prove: Pappano is respected at a bigger price despite sketchy form figures, while Devon Red has shown enough to suggest minor money is possible without screaming winner. Black Dakota, Dontcontradictme and Ocean Rose all need a sizeable step forward. In a seven-runner field over this trip on good ground, professionalism and stamina at the business end should decide it, and that puts the spotlight firmly on the two at the head of the market.
Top Selections
1. Penzance – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paddy Hanlon | Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon | Form: 222043 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 112
Penzance sets the standard on the numbers and, in a race lacking depth, that matters plenty. He has been knocking on the door often enough, and while he is not bombproof from a win perspective, his overall level is comfortably the best in this field. A mark of 117 and that 112 Topspeed figure give him a proper edge, and this looks a more manageable assignment than some of the races he has been contesting. At 2/1 he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he still makes most appeal because there is substance behind the price rather than guesswork. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Pappano – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ellis Collier | Trainer: Syd Hosie | Form: P/ | Rating: | Topspeed:
Pappano is the awkward one in the line-up, but that is exactly why he makes some each-way appeal in a race where the opposition falls away quickly after the front two. The form figures are hardly persuasive at first glance, yet he is only five and could easily have more to offer than several exposed rivals here. Syd Hosie’s runner does not need to improve dramatically to get involved for a place, and 11/2 looks fair enough in a seven-runner maiden with only two places on offer. He is not the percentage call to beat the principals, but he is the one I could see outrunning his profile. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Penzance is the solid play and the one to keep on side for the win, as his established hurdle form gives him the clearest edge. For those looking beyond the obvious, Pappano is the each-way punt at a workable price in a weak enough race. Depalma is the obvious danger and is hard to leave out of calculations, while Devon Red may be best of the rest.

14:37 – Southlands Care Home Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: 2.02 & 4.22 +22yds, 2.37 & 5.30 +19yds, 3.12 & 4.55 +35yds and 3.47 +40yds) (Good (goingstick 6.0) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This looks a proper little mares’ novice rather than a weak Class 4, with several arriving in form and not much between the market principals. Fine Thing brings the best recent sequence after back-to-back wins and is clearly on the upgrade for Dan Skelton, while Kamille Au Kanada also got off the mark last time and has the profile of one who can do better again. Babs is another last-time-out winner and her figures suggest she is no back number, while Yeld To Call is interesting on older form and could easily outrun her price if returning tuned up after a break. In truth, it is not a race to get too clever in, but the balance of proven hurdle form and scope for progress should decide it.
Top Selections
1. Fine Thing – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 311 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 99
Fine Thing has the look of a mare who is getting the hang of things quickly. Since that opening run she has reeled off two wins, and an opening mark of 119 demands respect in this company. The Skelton team are usually very effective in these novice hurdle events, and Harry Skelton is exactly the man you want aboard one expected to travel strongly and be produced at the right time. At 9/4 she is hardly missed, but there is substance to her position near the top of the market. She sets the standard on recent output and looks the solid one. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Yeld To Call – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Jane Williams | Form: 442P5- | Rating: 118 | Topspeed: 113
Yeld To Call is the one at a slightly bigger price who makes plenty of each-way appeal. Her form tailed off a touch at the end of last campaign, but a mark of 118 and a standout Topspeed figure of 113 say she has ability, and this Newton Abbot test could suit if she is ridden positively. Jane Williams does well enough with this type around the southwest tracks, and there is enough in those earlier placed efforts to think she can be competitive against mares who are not miles ahead of her. At 6/1, she looks the value alternative to the obvious pair. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fine Thing is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet given her upward profile and solid mark. For those wanting a bit more juice, Yeld To Call is the each-way play in an eight-runner field with three places on offer. Kamille Au Kanada is the obvious danger, while Babs also has enough recent form to keep this honest.

15:12 – Devondale Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 3 | Going: 2.02 & 4.22 +22yds, 2.37 & 5.30 +19yds, 3.12 & 4.55 +35yds and 3.47 +40yds) (Good (goingstick 6.0) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This three-runner novice handicap chase revolves around a fascinating weight-versus-profile clash. Thickthorn Tom brings the most solid body of recent form, having won four of his last five before finding one too good last time, and his mark of 143 sets the standard on paper. Intosomethinggood is less exposed over fences and comes here off a confidence-boosting win, but he has to shoulder top weight and give plenty away all round. It’s A Breeze is no back number either, arriving in decent nick for Paul Nicholls, though his overall profile suggests he may just lack the upside of the other two. In a small field where jumping fluency and tactical positioning will matter plenty, this looks a proper little contest rather than a match.
Top Selections
1. Thickthorn Tom – 6/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 121112 | Rating: 143 | Topspeed: 109
Thickthorn Tom makes most appeal because he brings the most reliable recent chase form into the race and still looks on an upward curve. That sequence of 121112 tells its own story: he keeps turning up, keeps running to a level, and his latest second was hardly a backward step. Off 143 he is not obviously thrown in, but in a three-runner tactical affair I like backing the horse who has been doing his winning in the right races and knows how to put one to bed. Harry Skelton is a positive booking as ever around a sharp track like Newton Abbot, and 6/4 looks fair rather than flashy. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a three-runner race: Thickthorn Tom is the win bet. He has the strongest recent profile and doesn’t have the burden of conceding as much weight as Intosomethinggood, who looks the obvious danger after his latest win. It’s A Breeze is respected, especially from this yard, but may need the front two to underperform.

15:47 – Bayside Signs & Display Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 2.02 & 4.22 +22yds, 2.37 & 5.30 +19yds, 3.12 & 4.55 +35yds and 3.47 +40yds) (Good (goingstick 6.0) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This looks a workable little Class 5 rather than a deep one, and it may not take much winning if one of the better-treated stayers gets into a rhythm. Broadway Honey arrives off a win and is the obvious one to beat on recent evidence, while Flashy Boy also comes here on the back of a victory and carries notably less weight than most of these. Fiskardo has been running well without quite getting his head in front and is another with a solid chance if this turns into a proper test. Great d’Ange and Royal Time have bits of form that entitle them to respect, but both need to show a touch more resolution late on. In a seven-runner race with three places on offer, it feels competitive enough for an each-way angle but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Broadway Honey – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Toby McCain-Mitchell | Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies | Form: 55-551 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 97
Broadway Honey is the one with the most persuasive recent profile. That latest win was a timely breakthrough and, in a race where several of these look exposed at the grade, a progressive six-year-old is exactly what you want to be siding with. An official mark of 112 sets the standard in this field and she is one of the few who comes here with the sense there may still be a bit more to come over staying trips. The Twiston-Davies yard knows the time of day in this type of race and 9/4 is fair enough rather than fancy. She looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Flashy Boy – 4/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Callum Pritchard | Trainer: Robbie Llewellyn | Form: /P-531 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 94
Flashy Boy makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race of this shape. He got back on track when winning last time and, crucially, he does not have to lump the sort of weight some of his rivals do here. Racing from 149, he is effectively one of the better-handicapped horses in the line-up if that latest effort has put him right again. This is not a horse you would call bombproof, but in a seven-runner race with three places he looks the one most likely to run his race and be thereabouts if the favourite underperforms. At 4/1, he looks a sensible each-way punt rather than a speculative one. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Broadway Honey is the win play and the solid starting point in the race, arriving here with the best recent piece of form and the highest mark. Flashy Boy is the each-way option in a seven-runner field with three places, where his lighter weight and last-time-out success make plenty of appeal. Fiskardo is the obvious danger if he can finally convert a string of near-misses into a win.

This has thinned into a tight little handicap after the non-runner, and it doesn’t look a race packed with hidden depth. Rebel Tribesman is the obvious one to beat after a productive spell, arriving here with the strongest recent profile and a fair bit of upward momentum for Jamie Snowden. Kom Tu Voudras is the solid alternative, especially after getting back on track last time, while Service Minimum is entitled to come on for his reappearance and isn’t easily dismissed. Bold Endeavour has become risky, and the two bigger-priced runners need a fair leap of faith. In truth, this looks less a devilish puzzle than a race where the market leaders have clear, form-based authority.
Top Selections
1. Rebel Tribesman – 11/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan | Trainer: Jamie Snowden | Form: 22-121 | Rating: 129 | Topspeed: 120
Rebel Tribesman is hard to oppose. He’s a 5yo going the right way, his recent figures are rock-solid, and he comes here off another win having already shown he can string good runs together rather than popping up once and regressing. An official mark of 129 asks a question, but not an unreasonable one given the consistency of his profile, and that 120 topspeed figure stands out in this field. Gavin Sheehan is a positive booking for a horse who looks straightforward enough tactically, and on good ground over this trip he has all the hallmarks of the percentage call. At 11/8, he’s short enough but still the one most likely to deliver. End with a proper, professional round of jumping and he should take plenty of stopping.
Bet: WIN
2. Service Minimum – 10/3 with William Hill
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 4711-7 | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 105
For the each-way angle, Service Minimum makes more appeal than most. He won his last two starts before signing off last season and his comeback seventh can be marked up a touch if that was simply needed after a break. Dan Skelton’s runners tend to sharpen up for a run, and with Harry Skelton taking over again there’s every chance we see a much truer version here. He’s only 6, remains lightly exposed compared to some of these, and a mark of 124 leaves him with room to be competitive if returning to the level of those spring wins. Available at 10/3, he’s not some wild price, but in a six-runner betting heat he still looks the sensible each-way punt against the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple here. Rebel Tribesman is the win play because he brings the strongest current form and the best speed figure into a race lacking much depth. Service Minimum is the each-way alternative, especially if you’re banking on natural improvement from his seasonal return. Kom Tu Voudras is the obvious danger if backing either, while Bold Endeavour needs to rediscover plenty.

16:55 – Tony McCarthy Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: 2.02 & 4.22 +22yds, 2.37 & 5.30 +19yds, 3.12 & 4.55 +35yds and 3.47 +40yds) (Good (goingstick 6.0) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but not without a bit of shape to it. Mr McWhinny arrives chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back wins and is the obvious one to beat despite a 9lb rise for the latest success. He sets the standard on current form and doesn’t look opposed by a deep field. The question for punters is whether to take short odds or hunt for something at a price against him. My Cullen has been knocking on the door and should appreciate this sort of test, while Mcgregors Charge is another who has been running respectably enough to get involved from a low weight. Rule Me In has claims too, but this feels more about whether the favourite can keep progressing than a genuinely strong handicap.
Top Selections
1. Mr McWhinny – 5/6 with William Hill
Jockey: Jack Andrews | Trainer: T Ellis | Form: -41411 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 92
He is hard to oppose. Two wins on the bounce in this grade tell their own story, and the key point is that he’s still looked in control rather than all out at the finish. A mark of 110 asks a bigger question than before, but he’s actually carrying only 161 here and still has the look of a progressive handicap chaser in a modest contest. Jack Andrews keeps the ride and the partnership is clearly working. At 5/6 he’s no hidden gem, but in a six-runner race lacking depth, the favourite still makes plenty of appeal. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. My Cullen – 8/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Paddy Hanlon | Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon | Form: 052402 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 92
He looks the value alternative if you want to play against the jolly or cover the race each-way. The recent form figures suggest a horse holding his level well, and that latest second was another reminder that he’s knocking around the frame more often than not. A mark of 100 is workable enough in this company, and matching the favourite on Topspeed is no bad sign in a race of this nature. He doesn’t have the same obvious upside as Mr McWhinny, but at 8/1 he makes more each-way appeal than most in here and should give himself a fair chance if jumping cleanly. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Mr McWhinny is the win play because he’s the one arriving in form and still looks ahead of the handicapper. For an each-way punt in a six-runner race with two places, My Cullen makes most appeal at the prices as a solid, repeatable performer. Rule Me In is the obvious danger if building on his return, while Mcgregors Charge could also outrun bigger odds.

This is a proper end-of-card handicap: competitive enough to make you work, but not impossible to unravel. Several arrive here off wins, with Reteti, Son Of Hypnos, Ocean Heights, Farhh Echo and Warfleet all coming here on the back of a recent success, so the handicapper has had his say and value becomes the key angle. Farhh Echo heads the market after scoring last time, but that came after a pretty uninspiring sequence and he is short enough in a race with a few lurking dangers. God Of Fire looks solid with his recent 24/142 profile and should be suited by this sharp 2m, while Saucats is interesting off a light weight if getting the right pace to aim at. Tricky, yes, but not a race lacking shape.
Top Selections
1. God Of Fire – 5/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jr | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: 24/142 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 85
God Of Fire appeals as the one with the most convincing recent profile in the race. That form string reads well for this grade, and his latest second suggests he is still on the right side of the handicap rather than paying for an earlier win. A mark of 103 looks workable, especially in a Class 5 where a bit of consistency goes a long way, and Jonjo O’Neill Jr is exactly the sort you want aboard around here when positioning matters. At 5/1 he makes plenty of appeal because he looks reliable, well treated enough and likely to travel strongly in a race where a few come with more questions than answers. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Saucats – 12/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Callum Pritchard | Trainer: Joe Tickle | Form: 512373 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 103
Saucats looks the each-way value if you are playing this race a little more pragmatically. He has been knocking on the door in similar company, his form has held together better than the market might suggest, and that topspeed figure of 103 is right up there with the best on offer in this field. Carrying 143, he gets in with a handy racing weight and that could be important late on if this turns into a proper test of speed over the last two flights. He does not have the sexy profile of some recent winners, but 12/1 feels a fair bit too dismissive for a horse with his consistency and handicapping chance. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
God Of Fire is the win play at around 5/1 because he brings the most trustworthy recent form into a race full of last-time-out winners who may now be tighter in the handicap. Saucats is the each-way punt at 12/1, with his low weight and solid figures making him very appealing for the frame. Farhh Echo is the obvious danger, while Reteti and Ocean Heights also command respect.
