Newbury 13:50 Odds Comparison

Fair 2m Flat winner in France who has made a bright start in this sphere, bagging 7-runner juvenile at Chepstow (2m) in January. Again ran well without looking suited by sharper test when second at Huntingdon (2m) and of significant interest on handicap bow in receipt of handy 4-y-o allowance.

Useful in bumpers and impressive when opening hurdles account at second attempt at Doncaster (16.6f) in November. Struggled in a couple of graded contests but penultimate handicap debut second confirms his mark is an exploitable one.

Bumper scorer who has quickly reached a fairly useful level over hurdles, landing first 2 starts at Fontwell/Wetherby. Not jumped with great fluency in pair of listed contests subsequently but this switch to handicaps rates a likely plus on back of a breathing operation.

Got off the mark at Chepstow (2m) in November and back on the up in a refitted hood when second of 11 in 2m handicap here in January. Not disgraced without having any excuses when sixth at first named venue since and the assessor has eased his grip ahead of this.

Successful on first of 2 starts in bumpers and bright start switched to timber, runner-up at Hereford prior to going one place better over 2½m back there 4 weeks ago, despite still looking very much a work in progress. Type to go on improving now handicapping.

Consistent sort who capitalised on the drop in grade and showed improved form when belatedly off the mark in 12-runner handicap at Doncaster 2½m 3 weeks ago. Crucially jumped better on that occasion and this is a tougher ask back up in class.

Runner-up twice in bumpers in Ireland. Promising start over hurdles for present yard, landing small field maiden prior to an improved second at Catterick (19.3f) in January. Had conditions as a possible excuse in Grade 2 latest but opening mark looks to demand further progress.

Likeable type who made a successful hurdles debut at Newton Abbot (17f) in October. Runner up next 2 starts and he dug deep to double his tally in a heavy ground novice at Exeter 4 weeks ago. Return to further will hold no fears now handicapping for the first time.

Looked a good prospect when following up bumper success on hurdle debut at Plumpton and unlikely we've seen the best of him since, shaping as though amiss at Fontwell late last month. Remains with potential if back on song.
