Runner Jacket Dibble Dabble — Best odds: 9/4 — bet365

In cracking form this season and arrives chasing a quick follow-up. If holding condition, looks sure to be a major force again here.

Runner Jacket Ocean Heights — Best odds: 5/1 — Unibet

Had been thriving prior to a slightly below-par last run. Likely to bounce back and has the ability to go well in this company.

Runner Jacket Secret Beach — Best odds: 15/2 — bet365

Offered promise with a strong seasonal reappearance and looks capable of making his presence felt with further improvement likely.

Runner Jacket Boy George — Best odds: 7/2 — Betvictor

Arrives with back-to-back wins under his belt and clearly thriving at present. Should be firmly in the mix once more.

Runner Jacket Carp Kid — Best odds: 16/1 — bet365

Yet to find top gear this season but does hold past winning form and could be dangerous if bouncing back to old levels.

Runner Jacket Mrembo — Best odds: 5/1 — bet365

On the upgrade after a determined latest success. Confidence will be high, and she can make another bold attempt in this field.

Runner Jacket Educate — Best odds: 15/2 — Betvictor

Recent winner who seems to be finding his stride again. With further progress, could well sneak into contention at decent odds.

Verdict

Plenty of these arrive in decent shape. Boy George is hard to ignore after two impressive wins and may go in again, though Mrembo is improving fast and could be a big player. Secret Beach could also run a big race now sharper for that return. Expect an exciting finish to this contest.

 2yo, 15 Runners

 Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD TO FIRM (GoingStick: 7.9) (Watering) (Rail Movements: 5.40 & 7.15 +7yds)

Runner Jacket Calling A Star — Best odds: 14/1 — Betvictor

Tidy sort from a respected stable, showed some potential first time out. Could progress with that experience under her belt.

Runner Jacket Country Artiste — Best odds: 14/1 — bet365

Ran green on debut but hinted at ability. Extra experience now could see her step up in this more open affair.

Runner Jacket Jamie Sommers — Best odds: 16/1 — bet365

Unraced but comes from connections known for ready 2yo winners. Watch the market for clues regarding her readiness.

Runner Jacket Nor Zamin — Best odds: 9/2 — Unibet

Caught the eye with plenty of promise on first start. Sure to know more now and could easily make her presence felt.

Runner Jacket Pretty Danielle — Best odds: 12/1 — bet365

Another newcomer from a stable who often get them ready first time out. Could be an interesting contender on debut.

Runner Jacket Stardinia — Best odds: 11/4 — Betvictor

Most experienced of these and brings the standout form to the table. Sets the standard and looks the one they all have to beat.

Runner Jacket Sukanya — Best odds: 14/1 — bet365

Yet to race but looks one to keep an eye on from a yard with a good record with juveniles. Market may guide.

Runner Jacket Tickettothestars — Best odds: 25/1 — Unibet

Showed only modest form on first attempt but could improve. Needs to take a big step forward to get involved here.

Runner Jacket Doodling — Best odds: 14/1 — bet365

Debutant with an eye-catching pedigree. Could surprise if fully tuned up and may well run better than her odds suggest.

Runner Jacket Katalyst — Best odds: 25/1 — Betvictor

An unknown quantity making her first start. Improvement likely required to trouble the principals in this competitive event.

Runner Jacket Miracleoftheandes — Best odds: 20/1 — bet365

Another making her racecourse bow. Will need to be fairly streetwise to contend first time out but not ruled out.

Runner Jacket Simplify — Best odds: 8/1 — Unibet

Yard’s newcomers often run well and she could have a say on debut. One to watch closely in the betting.

Runner Jacket Sinj — Best odds: 9/2 — bet365

Put together a couple of solid placed efforts already. Should go well again and commands respect here.

Runner Jacket Due Destiny — Best odds: 66/1 — Betvictor

Has struggled to make an impression so far and looks up against it here. Would need to improve dramatically to figure.

Runner Jacket Jowalla — Best odds: 20/1 — bet365

Another with no race experience but could show ability. Likely to improve for the run whichever way it goes.

Verdict

With experience and form on her side, Stardinia sets the benchmark and should prove difficult to beat. Sinj looks the main danger with consistent efforts so far, while Nor Zamin could easily take a step forward now sharper for her first outing. Expect a strong showing from these fillies.

Newbury 18:45

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 19:15

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 19:45

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 20:15

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.
