14:42 – Racing To School Reaches 250,000 Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: 2.42 +17yds, 3.12 & 3.42 +42yds, 4.12 +23yds, 4.42 +28yds and 5.12 +36yds) (Good to firm, good in places (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This is only a three-runner affair, but it is not completely devoid of interest because the likely pace and slick jumping will matter plenty over this sharp two miles. Gore Point arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and looks the obvious one to beat for Anthony Honeyball, especially with Sam Twiston-Davies booked. Miss Denver is the established handicapper on figures and gets plenty of weight, so she rates the chief threat if able to keep tabs on the favourite. Manyana Blue is less exposed than the other pair and could improve again, but this is a stiff enough assignment against two more proven chasers. In a race lacking depth, it looks more about whether Gore Point runs to his latest level than any great puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Gore Point – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies | Trainer: Anthony Honeyball | Form: 42-211 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 98
Gore Point is hard to oppose in a race of this shape. He comes here on the back of two wins, his form figures suggest a horse who has really got the hang of things over fences, and that topspeed mark of 98 is the best on offer in this field. Honeyball’s runners tend to know their job in these summer handicaps and Sam Twiston-Davies is the ideal pilot in a tactical small-field chase. The slight concern is that he has to concede weight all round, but on current momentum he still sets the standard. At 8/13, he is no giveaway, just the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Gore Point is the win bet and the only sensible play in a three-runner race where each-way betting makes no appeal at all. Miss Denver looks the danger on official figures and the weight she receives, while Manyana Blue needs improvement to trouble the principals. This is a race to side with the progressive one rather than get clever.

15:12 – Sun Racing The Home Of Racing Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 2f | Class 4 | Going: 2.42 +17yds, 3.12 & 3.42 +42yds, 4.12 +23yds, 4.42 +28yds and 5.12 +36yds) (Good to firm, good in places (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This is only a four-runner maiden, but it is still an interesting little match-up between proven hurdle form and a potentially smart newcomer to the discipline. God Of Fire sets the standard on what he achieved last season, having already posted useful placed form over hurdles, and his mark of 107 gives him the clearest substance in the book. Jasper Glory is the unknown quantity and the market has latched onto him, which is no surprise given he comes from the Dan Skelton yard and gets Harry Skelton aboard. Maria Mes has bits and pieces of form but needs improvement, while Little Twig looks up against it on the figures. In a race lacking depth, it may simply come down to whether experience or upside proves more important.
Top Selections
1. God Of Fire – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jr | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: 24/ | Rating: 107 | Topspeed:
He is the one with proper hurdle form in the bank and, in a race of this size, that matters. God Of Fire ran to a fair level when second and fourth last season, and that official mark of 107 is comfortably the best piece of evidence on offer here. The absence is the obvious question, but this does not look a deep maiden and the O’Neill team know how to place one to get the job done. Jonjo O’Neill Jr should be able to keep things straightforward around this sharp track, and at even-money he is not exactly a gift, but he is still the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a four-runner race where each-way betting makes no appeal at all. God Of Fire is the win play because he brings the strongest established hurdle form and sets the standard on ratings. Jasper Glory is the obvious danger if he is streetwise enough first time over hurdles, but this looks the sort of race where experience can count for plenty.

Race Details: 2m 2f | Class 5 | Going: 2.42 +17yds, 3.12 & 3.42 +42yds, 4.12 +23yds, 4.42 +28yds and 5.12 +36yds) (Good to firm, good in places (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This looks a proper summer handicap hurdle: competitive enough, but hardly deep, and the market principals all have something to recommend them. Raffles Nobu arrives on the back of a solid second and has been knocking on the door, while Saucats comes here as an unexposed 5yo after getting his head in front last time. Get The Value also enters calculations after a better effort when third, and Ugo Bingo is weighted to go well if this sharper surface helps him travel. The flip side is that plenty in here have become expensive to follow, and a few of the older brigade look vulnerable to something a touch less exposed. In a race where recent momentum matters, I’d rather side with the pair who still look capable of better.
Top Selections
1. Raffles Nobu – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Quinlan | Trainer: Nick Scholfield | Form: 4-P342 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 89
Raffles Nobu makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking certainty. His recent figures suggest he has found his level again, and that latest second was another piece of evidence that he’s ready to strike in this grade. A mark of 100 looks workable, especially when set against a solid Topspeed figure of 89, and he’s one of the few in this line-up bringing dependable current form rather than hope. Jack Quinlan is a positive booking for a horse who should be able to sit handy and use his consistency to good effect. At 9/2, he looks the percentage call in a contest where others have more questions to answer.
Bet: WIN
2. Saucats – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Pritchard | Trainer: Joe Tickle | Form: 4-2551 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 92
Saucats is the one I’d want onside each-way because he looks like a progressive sort in a race full of exposed handicappers. He finally converted a sequence of decent efforts when winning last time, and the manner of that run suggested he may not be done yet. As a 5yo, he has more upside than most of these, and a rating of 95 does not look harsh if he can back up that latest success. The Topspeed mark of 92 also stacks up very well for this company. Available at 5/1, he appeals as the solid each-way punt with enough upside to threaten the favourite for win purposes too.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Raffles Nobu is the win play on reliability and recent consistency, and this looks a very workable opening. Saucats is the each-way alternative in a 12-runner field with four places on offer, especially as he may still be improving. The main danger is Get The Value, who shaped better last time and is well enough treated if building on that third.

16:12 – Par Inn Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 2.42 +17yds, 3.12 & 3.42 +42yds, 4.12 +23yds, 4.42 +28yds and 5.12 +36yds) (Good to firm, good in places (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This four-runner handicap chase is small in numbers but not entirely straightforward, with the market understandably focused on Ellerton and Limerick Leader. Ellerton arrives with the profile of an improving 6yo for Joe Tizzard and looks the one with a bit more upside, while Limerick Leader has been knocking on the door often enough to make him an obvious threat if this turns into a test of consistency rather than progression. The Gypsy Davey has plenty to find on recent form and looks vulnerable if the principals run to their marks, while It’s A Breeze is weighted to get involved but needs to leave a few underwhelming efforts behind. In a race lacking depth, it may simply come down to whether Ellerton has another step forward in him.
Top Selections
1. Ellerton – 2/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Brendan Powell | Trainer: Joe Tizzard | Form: 1/6-12 | Rating: | Topspeed:
Ellerton is the one I want to be with. His recent form figures suggest a horse going the right way, and that latest second confirmed he remains in good order after getting his head in front earlier in the campaign. As a 6yo in this small field, he is the runner open to more improvement than most of these, and that counts for plenty in a race where the opposition looks fairly exposed. Brendan Powell is a positive booking for this sort of tactical chase, and Joe Tizzard’s horses are usually well drilled for this track. Available at 2/1, he looks the percentage call rather than a spectacular one.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only four runners, this is a straight win-bet race and Ellerton makes the most appeal. He has the stronger progressive angle and should be hard to oppose if building on his latest effort. Limerick Leader is the clear danger after another solid spell of placed form, but he is becoming expensive to follow without winning. No each-way angle in a field this small.

16:42 – William Hill Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 2.42 +17yds, 3.12 & 3.42 +42yds, 4.12 +23yds, 4.42 +28yds and 5.12 +36yds) (Good to firm, good in places (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This small-field handicap chase doesn’t look especially deep, but it is still a race with a bit of shape to it. Muskerry Rock arrives in the best recent form and is the obvious one after back-to-back runner-up efforts, while Slaney Opera is dangerously well treated on these terms and should enjoy carrying just 10st 7lb. Presentandcounting remains capable at this level, though he is now 12 and giving weight away all round, while Belgarum has a squeak if forgiven a lesser run last time. Balkardy needs a leap of faith on recent evidence. In a race where tactical speed and clean jumping could count for plenty on this quick surface, the market principals dominate the conversation and there may not be many hiding places.
Top Selections
1. Muskerry Rock – 6/5 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 08-122 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 61
Muskerry Rock is no secret in a five-runner race, but he still makes most appeal. The form figures tell the story: he has found only one too good on his last two starts and looks to be holding his level really well. This is not a deep Class 4 and the Skelton team are exactly the sort you want on side in a summer handicap chase at Newton Abbot. He doesn’t have bundles in hand off 114, but he is progressive enough compared to several exposed or regressive rivals, and this sharp, tactical test should suit a horse arriving match-fit and reliable. At 6/5, he is short enough, but still the likeliest winner.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a race of this size: Muskerry Rock is the win play and the one with the fewest questions to answer. Each-way betting makes little appeal with only five runners and two places. Slaney Opera is the obvious danger on the weights, while Presentandcounting has the class to get involved if the tempo lifts and his age doesn’t catch him out.

This looks a fairly informative little bumper rather than a deep one, and the market has latched on accordingly. Park Hall and Thepassingtyphoon both arrive unbeaten after winning on debut and it would be no surprise if the pair dominated again, with Park Hall’s powerful Skelton yard an obvious starting point. Thepassingtyphoon brings the best published figures into it, though, and doesn’t look one to dismiss lightly despite conceding weight. Behind the front two, it gets much murkier. Company Charge is an interesting newcomer for Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies, while Bath Taverness has enough ability on paper to nick a place if settling better than in the past. It’s not the strongest race on the card, but it is a tricky one once you move beyond the obvious pair.
Top Selections
1. Park Hall – 10/11 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 1 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 41
Park Hall is short enough, but he is also the one with the most obvious scope to improve markedly from a winning debut. A Dan Skelton-trained bumper winner at this stage of the summer always commands respect, and Harry Skelton being booked only adds to the appeal. The bare numbers don’t scream superstar, especially against Thepassingtyphoon’s stronger topspeed figure, but bumper form is often about potential rather than raw clockwatching. He gets weight from the main danger and looks likely to be ridden positively on this sharp track. At around even money he is not a giveaway, but he is the one I’d want on side most. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Bath Taverness – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Brendan Powell | Trainer: David Evans | Form: 05- | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 94
If you want something at a price for the places, Bath Taverness makes more appeal than most in the second rank. The form figures are hardly glamorous, but there is substance in the profile and that topspeed mark of 94 suggests there is more ability here than the odds imply. David Evans is not the first name punters rush to in this sphere, which may help keep the price honest, and Brendan Powell is a useful booking to get this one organised. In a race where several of the outsiders are complete guesswork, 14/1 looks fair for a horse with at least some evidence of ability and enough experience to outrun market expectations. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Park Hall is the win play, with his debut success and obvious yard strength making him hard to oppose. For an each-way angle in a nine-runner race, Bath Taverness looks the value against more fashionable names. Thepassingtyphoon is the clear danger to the favourite, while Company Charge is the newcomer worth a market check.
