Newbury 13:25
Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes (Registered As The John Porter Stakes) (Group 3)
Winner £48,204, 2nd £18,275, 3rd £9,146, 4th £4,556, 5th £2,287, 6th £1,148
4yo+, 7 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 4f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 5.0) (Watered) (Rail Movements: 1.25, 4.19 & 4.54 +14yds and 3.12 & 3.45 +7yds)
1. Ancient Wisdom – 3/1 [Best Odds: bet365]
Last season’s Group 1 winner makes his seasonal reappearance and brings a touch of top-tier form to the table. Has mixed it with some of the best of his generation and shaped well on various ground types. With William Buick in the saddle, he commands serious respect, though he may need the outing to be fully sharp.
2. Bellum Justum – 7/2 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Showed solid progression throughout his three-year-old campaign and ended the year with an impressive win in a listed event. Stepping up in class here, but he’s versatile and battle-hardened. The type to keep finding more, especially under pressure.
3. Dallas Star – 12/1 [Best Odds: Betvictor]
A dual winner who returned with a solid showing at Dundalk before finishing out of the frame last time. Hard to know exactly what to expect, but he has some decent back form. Will need to improve to challenge the favourites, but not ruled out for minor honours.
4. Feigning Madness – 33/1 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Lightly raced and still open to improvement, but he looks up against it on known form. Didn’t threaten in pattern company previously and this company may prove too demanding at this stage of his development. Outsider’s chance at best.
5. Sunway – 13/8 [Best Odds: bet365]
Former Group 1 runner-up who comes into this with standout form lines, and plenty will view him as the class act. Has proven he stays this trip and brings solid form at the highest level. With Oisin Murphy taking over, he’s likely to be popular in the market and hard to ignore on credentials.
6. Tabletalk – 11/1 [Best Odds: Betvictor]
A consistent performer who landed a competitive handicap before trying his luck at a higher level. Remains a bit below the standard of the principals but could benefit from an even pace and may sneak a place if the leaders go too quick.
7. Divina Grace – 14/1 [Best Odds: bet365]
One of the few older runners in the line-up and has run respectably in listed and Group company. Slightly exposed in this field, but her best runs have come when fresh, and the booking of David Probert is a plus. Place claims if she brings her A-game.
Verdict
A tight and fascinating contest where several bring different strengths. Bellum Justum appeals as a horse on the rise who could improve past his rivals stepping into Group 3 company for the first time. Sunway is undoubtedly the classiest in the race, but may just find one sharper on the day. Tabletalk represents value for those seeking an each-way angle and could outrun his price if the pace collapses.

Best Odds Guaranteed At BetVictor Conditional Jockeys’ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)
Winner £8,714, 2nd £4,010, 3rd £2,005, 4th £1,003, 5th £500
4yo+, 6 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 69y , SOFT, Heavy in places on Hurdle course (GoingStick: Chase 3.1, Hurdle 2.8)
1. Betty Clover – 25/1 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Had her moments as a juvenile but was generally outpaced in stronger company. Returns off a break and may need the run. Others look better suited to this grade at present.
2. Bright Times Ahead – 15/2 [Best Odds: Betvictor]
Impressed when scoring on debut and remains a filly with plenty of untapped potential. Now stepping up in class, but the promise is there, and she’s open to significant progress. Worth a second glance.
3. British Blue – 25/1 [Best Odds: bet365]
Won nicely first time out but that form hasn’t exactly been franked. This represents a sharp rise in class, and she may find life tougher against proven performers.
4. California Dreamer – 11/1 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Got off the mark last time after several close calls and that win came in solid company. Clearly improving, and the trainer has been bullish about her progress. May be flying under the radar.
5. Duty First – 14/1 [Best Odds: bet365]
Gutsy type who often gives her running, though she’s not as flashy as some in here. Will be trying to grind this out from a handy position but needs more to land a blow at this level.
6. Ellaria Sand – 50/1 [Best Odds: Betvictor]
Exposed in terms of experience but still appears held by the majority of these. Others make more compelling cases based on form and ratings. Needs a career-best.
7. Enola Holmes – 66/1 [Best Odds: bet365]
Finished behind some of today’s rivals already and hasn’t looked like a Group performer. Unlikely to be a factor unless she finds significant improvement.
8. Formal – 10/1 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Scored on both starts last year and could be anything. Enters this fresh, and while the bare form is hard to weigh up, connections are confident. Live each-way shout.
9. Greydreambeliever – 33/1 [Best Odds: Betvictor]
Ran a solid race on reappearance and was staying on well at the finish. Has a bit to find, but might outrun her price if the front runners go hard early.
10. Heavens Gate – 13/2 [Best Odds: bet365]
Boasts a big reputation and her connections are no strangers to landing these early-season trials. Capable of strong late bursts, and if the pace collapses, she’ll be finishing fast.
11. Hey Boo – 33/1 [Best Odds: Betvictor]
Unbeaten from two but faces a completely different calibre of opposition now. Has plenty to prove and may find this a bit hot at this stage of her career.
12. Maw Lam – 28/1 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Put together a string of fair runs last year without quite breaking through. This test might just stretch her, but she’s dependable and could be plugging on for minor honours.
13. Mountain Breeze – NR
Non-runner
14. Simmering – 10/3 [Best Odds: bet365]
One of the standout contenders with two wins under her belt and solid placed form at this level. Carries a big reputation and looks the one they all have to beat. Should go very close.
15. Time For Sandals – 8/1 [Best Odds: Unibet]
Brings strong juvenile form and was narrowly denied in a competitive finish last time. Looks a thorough stayer at seven furlongs and may be able to edge into the mix with a well-timed ride.
Verdict
This year’s renewal is packed with unexposed fillies, but California Dreamer gets the nod thanks to her upward trajectory and strong seasonal return. Simmering is clearly a major threat with her proven Group-level ability, while Bright Times Ahead could surprise a few with a bold showing from a handy position.

Lengthen The Odds At BetVictor Handicap Hurdle (Challenger Two Mile Hurdle Series Qualifier)
Winner £10,926, 2nd £5,023, 3rd £2,512, 4th £1,256, 5th £628, 6th £313
4yo+, 7 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 69y , SOFT, Heavy in places on Hurdle course (GoingStick: Chase 3.1, Hurdle 2.8)
1. Hititi – Best Odds: 10/3 (bet365)
Bet with bet365
Robert Walford’s eight-year-old has shown steady form this winter, hitting the frame on several occasions. Although yet to get his head in front this season, his runner-up finish last time suggests the gelding is peaking at the right time. With Harry Kimber taking off a valuable 3lb, Hititi remains a big threat in this company.
2. Welcom To Cartries – Best Odds: 11/4 (BetVictor)
Bet with BetVictor
Paul Nicholls sends out this consistent seven-year-old, who has posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat after a long break. Harry Cobden retains the partnership, and this horse’s patient running style should be suited by the long straight at Newbury. He seems primed for a bold bid if the early pace is strong.
3. Zain Nights – Best Odds: 7/1 (Unibet)
Bet with Unibet
Lucy Wadham’s six-year-old has been inconsistent, mixing placed efforts with disappointing performances. He certainly has ability but can be tricky to catch right. Tom Cannon continues aboard, and if the first-time visor sharpens him up, he could outrun his odds. One for those willing to take a chance.
4. Go To War – Best Odds: 2/1 (bet365)
Bet with bet365
Nicky Henderson’s charge has won twice in just four starts over hurdles and was not far away in a stronger contest last time. Nico de Boinville takes the ride on this improving seven-year-old, who shapes as if this step up in distance will bring out even more. He is likely to attract significant market support.
5. Gold In The Rivers – Best Odds: 18/1 (Unibet)
Bet with Unibet
David Pipe’s lightly raced six-year-old showed potential in novice company but has failed to land a blow in tougher handicaps. Tom Bellamy keeps the ride, but unless the ground conditions turn in his favour and he finds extra stamina reserves, he may struggle to keep pace with the principals.
6. Jubilant – Best Odds: 11/1 (bet365)
Bet with bet365
James Owen’s representative made a winning start to the season before finding life more difficult in deeper races. This six-year-old is capable of bouncing back under Sam Twiston-Davies, who knows how to judge pace in staying contests. Could sneak into the frame if others falter late on.
Verdict
There are plenty of interesting angles in this staying handicap, but Go To War stands out as a horse on the upgrade who should relish this trip and conditions. Hititi is consistent and could be his main rival, particularly if he’s delivered late. Welcom To Cartries cannot be ignored with his strong finishing style, while Jubilant could reward each-way backers if returning to his earlier season form.

Cruz Control – Best Odds: 12/1 (Bet365)
Bet on Cruz Control
Tom Lacey’s 7-year-old has shown promise in the past but arrives on the back of a pulled-up effort. Stan Sheppard will need to bring out the best in him to overcome his recent struggles.
Surrey Quest – Best Odds: 8/1 (BetMGM)
Bet on Surrey Quest
A consistent performer, this 7-year-old from Toby Lawes’ yard was a close second on his latest run. With Kevin Brogan aboard, he should be in contention again in these conditions.
Henry’s Friend – Best Odds: 10/1 (Betvictor)
Bet on Henry’s Friend
Ben Pauling’s charge has been inconsistent this season but retains potential. Ben Jones takes the ride, and with a step up in form, he could pose a challenge.
Brave Kingdom – Best Odds: 11/2 (Bet365)
Bet on Brave Kingdom
Paul Nicholls’ 8-year-old has returned from a break with mixed form. Bryony Frost partners him again, and with his proven class, he cannot be overlooked.
Inch House – Best Odds: 6/1 (BetMGM)
Bet on Inch House
Another Paul Nicholls entry, Inch House needs to bounce back after an uncharacteristic fall in his last outing. Harry Cobden retains the ride, and if he avoids mistakes, he’s a strong contender.
Hymac – Best Odds: 9/2 (Bet365)
Bet on Hymac
Harry Fry’s runner has been in good form this season, finishing third last time out. Bryan Carver will be looking to guide him to a breakthrough performance in this competitive field.
Hold That Taught – Best Odds: 12/1 (Betvictor)
Bet on Hold That Taught
Venetia Williams’ 9-year-old has a patchy record but has shown glimpses of ability in the past. Charlie Deutsch takes the reins, and the pair could spring a surprise if conditions suit.
Hoe Joly Smoke – Best Odds: 5/1 (Bet365)
Bet on Hoe Joly Smoke
Dan Skelton’s progressive 6-year-old landed a victory on his last outing and looks poised to continue his upward trajectory. Harry Skelton stays aboard, giving him a strong chance.
Hudson De Grugy – Best Odds: 14/1 (BetMGM)
Bet on Hudson De Grugy
This Gary & Josh Moore-trained 7-year-old bounced back to winning ways recently. Freddie Mitchell rides, and while consistent, he’ll need to step up further to take this.
Poppa Poutine – Best Odds: 7/1 (Bet365)
Bet on Poppa Poutine
Nigel Twiston-Davies’ 8-year-old claimed a solid win last time and remains well-handicapped. Sam Twiston-Davies rides, and he should give a good account over this stamina-sapping trip.
Verdict
Hoe Joly Smoke is the one to beat, with his recent win showcasing his improvement and potential. Hymac looks a major threat with his consistent form, while Poppa Poutine has the stamina and recent performance to challenge in what promises to be a thrilling finish.

Bet on Bill Joyce
Jonjo O’Neill Jr. rides this 5-year-old, who has made a perfect start to his hurdling career with back-to-back wins. His ability to handle this step up in grade will be tested, but his form suggests he’s a serious player.
Electric Mason – Best Odds: 14/1 (BetMGM)
Bet on Electric Mason
Chris Gordon’s runner has been consistent this season but was third last time out in lesser company. Rex Dingle takes the ride, and while he has potential, others may hold stronger claims.
First Confession – Best Odds: 10/1 (Betvictor)
Bet on First Confession
Joe Tizzard trains this improving 5-year-old who secured a win on his last outing. Brendan Powell partners him again, and if he continues his upward trajectory, he could be a contender here.
It’s Hard To Know – Best Odds: 7/1 (Bet365)
Bet on It’s Hard To Know
Ben Pauling’s charge has won both of his starts this season, showing good speed and stamina. Ben Jones retains the ride, and while this is a step up in class, he has the credentials to surprise.
Regent’s Stroll – Best Odds: 6/1 (BetMGM)
Bet on Regent’s Stroll
This Paul Nicholls-trained 5-year-old has a flawless record over hurdles and continues to improve. Harry Cobden’s presence in the saddle further enhances his prospects in this Grade 1 contest.
The New Lion – Best Odds: 4/1 (Bet365)
Bet on The New Lion
Dan Skelton’s rising star has been impressive, with three consecutive wins to his name. Harry Skelton continues his partnership, and they will be aiming for another commanding performance.
Wendigo – Best Odds: 12/1 (Betvictor)
Bet on Wendigo
Jamie Snowden’s entry has shown consistency this season, placing first or second in all of his starts. Gavin Sheehan takes the reins, and while he might lack the brilliance of some rivals, his reliability is a strength.
Verdict
The New Lion has been a dominant force in novice hurdles and looks the one to beat in this field. Regent’s Stroll offers a strong challenge, with his flawless form and top-class connections. For those seeking an outsider, It’s Hard To Know could deliver a big run in this competitive contest.
