Newbury 1.30 Todays ITV card has been reduced because of abandonments elsewhere , but we still have 4 races of decent quality. Kyntara has a progressive profile and could go well once more. Emitom is another solid enough contender. One at a bigger price is On The Blind Side who does like very deep ground and is on the very same mark now as when scoring at 50’1 last year. Advised Bet On The Blind Side 1/2 pt ew @ 16’1 /14’1
Newbury 2.05 This looks a match race between the old rogue Shishkin & the some what disappointing Protektorat . Either could bolt up but they are in no way betting propositions on this season evidence
Newbury 2.40 Edwardstone is yet again a shorter price than he should be because of past reputation and while he could pop up is no betting proposition at these cramped odds. Of the rest Boothill has to get over a fall last time out while the other 3 could also win on a going day. Not a race to have a bet in at all
Newbury 3.15 The Irish raider Ocastle Des Mottes is currently heading the market on the first start for the champion trainer , its anyones guess as to what scope there is off this mark however. Iberico Lord is better than he showed last time out when the ground was probably too quick , but he is up a fair bit in the weights after the win at Cheltenham. One I like is Altobelli who will love this deep ground , he has some solid efforts since going handicapping this season and still gives the impression there’s a good prize in him off this mark.
