Newbury 13:30

Grosvenor Sport New Customers Double Odds Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap

 Winner £5,464, 2nd £2,734, 3rd £1,365, 4th £684, 5th £341

 4yo+, 11 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 1m 2f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 6.1)

1. Dawn Of Liberation – 11/4

bet365
Completed a quickfire double last month and remains in excellent heart. Miss Charli Parker returns to the saddle for Ruth Carr, and with momentum firmly behind him, this six-year-old looks ready to go close once more.

---

2. Obsidian Knight – 10/1

BetMGM
Multiple wins already this season but hasn’t fired in recent starts. However, the booking of Mr Lewis Kent could inject new energy. The Kent-trained runner may revive with the switch to amateur company.

---

3. Warning Sign – 9/1

Unibet
Disappointed when last seen after showing solid consistency previously. Has the ability to bounce back, and Gary & Josh Moore’s stable form is worth noting. David Dunsdon takes over in the plate.

---

4. Tex – 11/1

bet365
Kept on late in a promising seasonal reappearance and could step forward again. With Simon Walker in the irons, George Baker’s lightly raced four-year-old is not one to overlook.

---

5. Ellexis – 16/1

Unibet
Struggled to find rhythm in recent outings but did grab a win earlier this year. Miss Megan Jordan takes over here, and cheekpieces are swapped for a visor. Place prospects at best.

---

6. Enthused – 13/2

Betvictor
Showed a glimmer of his old self last time, narrowly missing out on victory. James Owen’s charge benefits from Mr Ned Sangster’s claim and remains well handicapped. Dangerous if he can replicate that effort.

---

7. Meadram – 10/1

bet365
Already successful twice this term and still seems to be improving. The Tregoning team hand reins to Miss Alice Tregoning again, and another solid effort wouldn’t surprise.

---

8. Alazwar – 15/2

BetMGM
Returned from a layoff with a solid effort and looks set to improve. Miss Brodie Hampson continues to partner this consistent sort from the Archie Watson camp, who thrives at this level.

---

9. Liberated Lad – 20/1

Unibet
Hasn’t hit the mark recently but remains a capable performer at this grade. Trainer B F Brookhouse will be hoping Mr Bradley Furniss can reignite some spark in this seasoned handicapper.

---

10. Unplugged – 14/1

bet365
Well-exposed nine-year-old who hasn’t been too far away in recent efforts. Serena Brotherton takes over the reins and might coax a strong late effort if the pace is generous.

---

11. Faster Bee – 22/1

BetMGM
Unlucky not to finish closer last time after being outpaced early. Miss Remie Morgan partners again for Fergal O’Brien, and with better track position, this filly could sneak a surprise result.

Verdict

Enthused shaped like a winner in waiting on his latest outing and may be the one to take advantage of an ideal amateur race setup. Alazwar is another with credible claims following his recent comeback, while Tex remains a lightly raced prospect who could still have plenty more to offer over this trip.

Newbury 14:05

Local IQ EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race) (Div I)

 Winner £6,480, 2nd £3,042, 3rd £1,522, 4th £761

 2yo, 10 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 6f 110y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 6.1)

1. Blues And Royals – 10/1

Unibet
Still learning the ropes, this Michael Bell colt could take a leap forward after getting a feel for the racecourse. Kieran Shoemark gets the leg up and market confidence may prove informative.

---

2. Cape Orator – 5/1

bet365
Ran with encouragement on debut and represents the powerful Beckett team. Hector Crouch returns to guide this colt, and with natural progression, he might go very close in this deeper field.

---

3. Dodge City – 33/1

BetMGM
Showed little on first attempt and will need to leave that effort well behind to feature here. Meehan’s charge retains Sean Levey and should be sharper, but the bar is high.

---

4. Hardy’s Hero – 6/1

bet365
A well-bred newcomer from William Haggas’ yard with Tom Marquand in the irons. Interesting type who could shine on debut, and support in the betting would be a positive sign.

---

5. Moonfall – 9/4

Betvictor
Already twice placed, this Boughey-trained colt is knocking on the door. Billy Loughnane keeps the ride, and his experience could give him a tactical advantage. Sure to be in the mix again.

---

6. New Monarch – 6/1

BetMGM
Debut run hinted at ability, and this Balding-trained runner looks open to further development. David Probert rides once more and improvement seems likely with that first outing under his belt.

---

7. River Spey – 11/1

bet365
Ed Walker’s runner debuts with a decent pedigree and George Downing is booked. With stable form respectable, she’s one for the shortlist if ready to fire on debut.

---

8. Silver State – 35/1

Unibet
Weakened late on his racecourse introduction and will need to show more stamina and sharpness here. Still early days for the Channon colt, but he’ll need to make a marked step forward.

---

9. Super Sagitta – 28/1

BetMGM
Evans-trained debutant who is a bit of an unknown. Neil Callan is an experienced pilot and could extract a decent effort, but he may be best watched unless the market speaks strongly in his favour.

---

10. Yachtsman – 11/4

bet365
Gosden-trained colt who caught the eye in his first run. With William Buick booked again, big things could be expected second time out. Major contender if he builds on his initial promise.

Verdict

Cape Orator shaped with plenty of promise on his debut and looks poised to take a big step forward. Moonfall is undoubtedly the standard-setter but might find one too good again. Hardy’s Hero, from a stable that excels with newcomers, could be the dark horse to light things up if ready first time. Yachtsman is respected but might need everything to fall his way to strike.

Newbury 14:40

Local IQ EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race) (Div II)

 Winner £6,480, 2nd £3,042, 3rd £1,522, 4th £761

 2yo, 9 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 6f 110y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 6.1)

1. A Bit Of Spirit – 11/1

BetMGM
This Clive Cox-trained colt shaped with potential first time out and could show more now under Rossa Ryan. He might need to sharpen up early on, but shouldn’t be dismissed too easily.

---

2. Chapter – 14/1

Unibet
A newcomer from the Charles Hills stable, Chapter is bred to stay further and may come into his own late. Jason Watson takes charge, and a respectable showing first time out wouldn’t surprise.

---

3. Circle Of Magic – 9/2

bet365
Showed promise on debut and represents a yard that knows how to ready one for a second-time strike. James Doyle rides again, and sharper race fitness may see him go close.

---

4. Lion Of Alba – 10/1

Betvictor
Jamie Spencer is booked for this Hugo Palmer-trained colt, who didn’t look disgraced on debut. Scopey sort who may appreciate the extra yardage here and should progress from his first outing.

---

5. McMurray – 9/1

bet365
Showed glimpses of ability on racecourse debut and could offer more with experience. George Boughey’s runners often improve for their first spin and Billy Loughnane remains aboard.

---

6. Peel Park – 11/1

BetMGM
This Roger Varian representative ran with credit on debut, keeping on well late. With Jack Mitchell taking over, another forward run looks likely and further progress is certainly not out of the question.

---

7. Time To Turn – 10/11

bet365
Impressed on debut when just edged out in a promising effort. William Buick partners again for Charlie Appleby, and he sets the benchmark based on what we’ve seen so far.

---

8. Us Officer – 33/1

Unibet
Couldn’t land a blow on first try but hails from a stable known to spring surprises. With Pierre-Louis Jamin keeping the ride, he’ll need to leave that first performance well behind.

---

9. Politely – 33/1

Betvictor
From the Martyn Meade yard and making a quiet entrance to the scene. Rob Hornby takes the reins, but she may just need this run to get going in earnest.

Verdict

Circle Of Magic appears to be one with a sizeable leap forward in him and could reverse form with the favourite here. Time To Turn undeniably sets the form standard and will be tough to peg back if repeating his debut promise. Peel Park, meanwhile, looks a fair price to sneak into the frame with improvement likely after a solid first try.

Newbury 15:15

Grosvenor Sport Cash Back Everyday Handicap

 Winner £5,757, 2nd £2,702, 3rd £1,350, 4th £675, 5th £337

 3yo, 17 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 1m , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 6.1)

1. Mahogany Bay – 12/1

BetMGM
Brian Meehan’s colt hasn’t been far off in decent company and could benefit from a return to calmer waters. Sean Levey rides again and he holds claims if the race falls into place tactically.

---

2. Orchard – 8/1

bet365
Got his head in front at Lingfield last time and seems to be heading the right way. Charles Bishop sticks with the improving type who could follow up if continuing on his upward curve.

---

3. Virtue Patience – 11/1

Unibet
Winner two runs back but struggled to replicate that last time. With Colin Keane booked, Amanda Perrett’s gelding might bounce back if the early pace is strong.

---

4. Emery Down – 16/1

Betvictor
Scored nicely on reappearance but couldn’t repeat the feat next time out. John Butler now enlists Aidan Keeley, who might help the gelding rediscover that initial spark.

---

5. Jarham – 12/1

bet365
Lightly raced and shaped well after a break on seasonal return. Rossa Ryan is a strong booking, and Clive Cox’s colt could have more to offer with that run behind him.

---

6. Geo – 16/1

Unibet
Struggled to land a blow in two comeback starts this season, but William Buick is a notable booking. If returning to his best, he could outrun his price.

---

7. Manila Thriller – 5/1

BetMGM
Started the year in fine fashion but has since plateaued. Tom Marquand rides again and if finding his earlier rhythm, he’s capable of a big run.

---

8. Condotti – 10/1

bet365
Consistent without winning last season, Hugo Palmer’s charge returns under David Probert. Solid chance if race-fitness isn’t a concern.

---

9. Castro Aurum – 14/1

Betvictor
Backed up a win with a decent effort under a penalty, but blinkers go on now in a bid to sharpen him up further. Jason Watson retains the ride and he shouldn’t be dismissed.

---

10. Showyoutheropes – 16/1

Unibet
Made no serious impact in three starts but now steps into handicap company, which might suit better. Neil Callan could squeeze improvement out of Tom Clover’s gelding.

---

11. Uppercase – 16/1

BetMGM
Two promising juvenile runs before returning to action recently with a fair effort. Harry Eustace might have left something to work with, and he’s capable of outrunning these odds.

---

12. American State – 12/1

bet365
Placed on his last few appearances and looks ready to break through if things go right. Kieran Shoemark stays in the saddle and he brings consistency to the table.

---

13. Boubyan – 10/3

bet365
Reappeared with a promising third and looks well treated off this mark. Hollie Doyle keeps the partnership intact and this Andrew Balding-trained runner is bound to be in the thick of it.

---

14. Dollyana – 25/1

Unibet
Hasn’t shown much in recent efforts but drops to a realistic mark here. Lewis Edmunds does the steering, and she might sneak into the minor spots with luck.

---

15. Tequila Star – 25/1

BetMGM
Returned from a break with little impact, but there may be more to come. Rob Hornby takes the reins and a step up is possible if the tempo suits.

---

16. Mini Mac – 20/1

Betvictor
Recent winning form but up in class now. Christine Dunnett’s gelding has momentum, and Jack Mitchell is back on board looking to repeat the trick.

---

17. Something Splendid – 8/1

bet365
Consistent without getting his head in front yet. Peter Chapple-Hyam’s gelding remains competitive and Billy Loughnane may guide him into contention once more.

Verdict

Boubyan looks primed to take another step forward following a solid comeback and could prove the one to beat in this wide-open handicap. Orchard is progressing nicely and could be the biggest danger if he handles the rise in class. For each-way players, Something Splendid deserves consideration given his consistent profile and likely strong finish.

Newbury 15:50

Darley EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

 Winner £20,616, 2nd £9,668, 3rd £4,836, 4th £2,416, 5th £1,208, 6th £604

 3yo, 8 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 1m , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 6.1)

1. Blue Bolt – 9/4

Betvictor
Impressed when landing a maiden second time out, showing a turn of foot that marks her out as a filly with real upside. Andrew Balding’s representative now steps into deeper waters, and with Colin Keane booked, she commands respect.

---

2. Consecrated – Evs

bet365
Dominant debut winner at this track and then bumped into one when denied as favourite last time. With Tom Marquand back in the saddle for William Haggas, she brings the highest official mark into this, and she sets the benchmark.

---

3. Brecon Beacons – 33/1

Unibet
Showed some early speed before fading on debut. Jack Channon’s filly will need to step up markedly on that if she’s to get involved here, and George Bass remains in the irons.

---

4. Dreamasar – 12/1

bet365
Yet to run but hails from a yard that knows how to ready one first time out. Ed Walker teams up with Kieran Shoemark, and while she’s untested, the market may give us the biggest clue.

---

5. Island Ocean – 100/1

BetMGM
Didn’t beat many home last season and was outpaced again on her return. Needs a major turnaround under Callum Shepherd if she’s to trouble the market leaders.

---

6. Majaz – 12/1

Unibet
Beaten on her sole appearance last season but shaped well in a race that’s worked out. Roger Varian sends her out fresh under Jack Mitchell, and she might surprise a few with improvement expected.

---

7. Moderna – 50/1

bet365
Never landed a blow in her only outing and is thrown into a competitive contest here. Hollie Doyle is booked, but on what we’ve seen so far, she’s hard to fancy.

---

8. Seren Star – 11/2

BetMGM
Debut third was full of promise and hinted at better to come. The Haggas team clearly think plenty of her, and Rossa Ryan takes over in the saddle today. Shouldn’t be far away with natural progress.

Verdict

Seren Star might be ready to step up on her debut third and surprise the pair of previous winners with a sharp turn of foot. Blue Bolt comes here with momentum and should run a big race again, while Consecrated will be popular but could be vulnerable late if the pace isn’t solid from the start. Majaz is another to consider for those chasing value in the frame.

Newbury 16:25

Grosvenor Sport Win Rewards Everyday Handicap

 Winner £14,174, 2nd £6,647, 3rd £3,325, 4th £1,661, 5th £831, 6th £415

 4yo+, 13 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 7f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 6.1)

1. Hickory – 7/1

Unibet
Jamie Osborne’s seven-year-old continues to race with enthusiasm, backing up a win with a solid third. Saffie Osborne’s claim offsets the weight, and he could still have more to offer at this trip.

---

2. Dorney Lake – 14/1

bet365
Lightly raced and started the season brightly with two wins. His last two efforts have been more modest, but Colin Keane takes the reins again, and he’s one who could bounce back in calmer waters.

---

3. Local Hero – 12/1

Betvictor
A consistent sort who often runs his race without quite getting his head in front. Richard Hannon’s gelding remains capable in the right setup, and Sean Levey rides once again.

---

4. Grand Karat – 12/1

BetMGM
Has been kept fresh this season with two fair runs after a strong 2023. Trevor Whelan is back aboard for Harry Charlton, and a return to peak could see him surprise.

---

5. Warm Spell – 10/1

bet365
A course and distance winner who shaped well on his second run this year. Billy Loughnane’s claim is handy, and he could be a player if he settles early and gets cover.

---

6. Surrey Shadow – 13/2

Betvictor
Returned from a layoff with a smart win before finding one or two too strong recently. Neil Callan continues the partnership, and dropping back to seven furlongs could play to his strengths.

---

7. Metaverse – 18/1

Unibet
Scored nicely two runs back but couldn’t land a blow last time. David Menuisier’s gelding might benefit from a more patient ride from Callum Shepherd and a decent early gallop.

---

8. Photosynthesis – 9/1

bet365
Put in two smart efforts this term and appears to be improving with age. Rossa Ryan keeps the ride, and his strong finish could make a difference if the tempo lifts in the second half.

---

9. Twisting Physics – 5/1

BetMGM
William Buick rides this progressive sort from the Cole team who backed up a strong 2yo profile with an encouraging seasonal return. A bold bid is expected with fitness now assured.

---

10. Believe The Storm – 6/1

Unibet
Unexposed and full of potential, he’s gone close in both starts this year. Kieran Shoemark remains aboard and Charlie Fellowes will be hoping he can finally break through with a well-timed effort.

---

11. Altmore – 9/1

bet365
Caught the eye last term but hasn’t shown the same spark in 2024. Tom Marquand takes over from cheekpieces back on, and connections will be looking for a response at this level.

---

12. Chalk Mountain – 14/1

Betvictor
Placed in both starts this campaign and clearly retains ability. Rob Hornby rides again, and with conditions to suit, he could sneak into the places with a clear run.

---

13. The Caribbean – 22/1

BetMGM
Consistent of late but looks up against it on the ratings. Hollie Doyle keeps the partnership going, and while he’s game, he may need others to falter to get involved.

Verdict

Twisting Physics looks poised to take another leap forward after a sharp return, and with Buick in the saddle, he may be hard to peg back if given a smooth trip. Surrey Shadow returns to a more suitable trip and should be in the frame, while Believe The Storm brings untapped potential to the table and looks ready to mount a serious late charge. This is a deep and tactical heat, but the progressive three look primed to dominate the finish.
