Newbury 1.15 Casa Tall £12.50 ew @ 9’1 firms offering 4 places – In good heart towards the end of 2021, winning at Exeter; in and out since but his mark has fallen and he might have needed both his outings this autumn (fourth of seven at Sandown on latest); each-way claims for an in-form stable
Warwick 1.35 One Fer Mamma £12.50 ew @ 5’1 firms offering 4 places – Won a heavy-ground chase in first-time cheekpieces a year ago and scored in good style over C&D when back over hurdles in February; made a very encouraging reappearance in November and is not yet fully exposed
Newbury 1.50 Pikar £25 win @ 9’4 – Hard to weigh up accurately after just four runs, but he was impressive in getting off the mark in a Chepstow novice in October; he’s unexposed as he moves in to handicaps and will be a leading contender for this
Warwick 2.10 Go Steady £25 win @ 2’1 – Improved his record to 6-15 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut success at Lingfield four weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher than last time and looks worth another try at this trip; key player in this
Newbury 2.25 Laskalin £18.75 ew @ 5’1 / 9’2 firms offering 5 places (NAP) – Five wins in France; runner-up on heavy last term but first British win (five attempts) came when returning from wind surgery to make all in seven-runner race at Ludlow one month ago under 5lb claimer; going back up 5lb probably underestimates him a lot
Lingfield 2.40 Morgan Fairy £25 win @ 7’4 – Off three months since an ordinary effort at Newmarket, but her AW record reads 21323 and her third of 14 in a warm handicap at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in September looks solid form in the context of this race; major chance
Newbury 3.00 Crambo £12.50 ew @ 10’1 / 9’1 firms offering 4 places – Unbeaten in two bumpers and a novice hurdle, each time coming from rear to lead late on; value for more than his winning margin at Ascot six weeks ago, quickly sealing matters on the run-in; Paddy Brennan’s pick of three stable runners
Newbury 3.35 Surrey Quest £12.50 ew @ 15’2 – Won late last year on first two hurdle starts and he was a creditable seventh in the EBF Final at Sandown in March on handicap debut; creditable never-nearer third of eight on chase debut at Uttoxeter six weeks ago and he’s open to improvement
ITV Double £25 ew Laskalin ( 5 places ) & Crambo ( 4 places ) both with Betfair / Paddy Power
