14.13 newtonabbotracing.com Novices’ Hurdle
FORTIFIED FORTUNE only found one too good when last spotted and should have every chance of going a place better here, with more to come. The well-bred SEA WARRIOR is another for the shortlist.
Tips: Fortified Fortune, Sea Warrior
14.43 15 Years At The Par Inn Handicap Chase
INVICTUS ALLEN is presumably the choice of Jack Tudor and could get back on track in the refitted cheekpieces. Harry Fry’s DANTON appeals as a chasing type and may emerge as a leading player.
Tips: Invictus Allen, Danton
15.13 Eddie Fullalove Celebration Handicap Hurdle
Four-time course winner CLEARANCE should be approaching peak-fitness now after a couple of spins on the all-weather and is only 1lb above his last winning mark. BASHFUL BOY is 2lb lower than when he won here in June last year and must be respected.
Tips: Clearance, Bashful Boy
15.43 Happy 60th Birthday Danny Kane Handicap Chase
BEGIN THE LUCK has underperformed in both starts for current connections, but he’s only 1lb above his last winning mark, and it would come as no surprise to see him competitive. OUT OF FOCUS has shaped nicely in two chase starts despite lacking conviction in the jumping department and should improve.
Tips: Begin The Luck, Out Of Focus
16.13 Racing Partnership Novices’ Handicap Hurdle
LIGHT EM UP ANGEL has a long absence to overcome, but he’s the best horse in the race based on the figures, and could be ready to make a serious impact. CULLIGRAN will need to raise her game to pose a threat, but she has been handed what appears to be a lenient mark, so she merits consideration.
Tips: Light Em Up Angel, Culligran
16.43 Totnes And Bridgetown Steeplechase Company Open Hunters’ Chase
Despite being pulled up the last twice, the Paul Nicholls-trained SWITCH HITTER should be hard to beat at this lower level. KALOOKI was once rated as high as 147, so although his recent form figures might seem off-putting to some, he has the ability to trouble the favourite and cannot be ruled out.
Tips: Switch Hitter, Kalooki
