Leicester 12.15
With just the two rivals to beat BUTCH really should be taking this out. He has won 3 of his last 4 over hurdles and promises to be an even better chaser. The drop back in trip is a slight concern but at the same time I expect him to be a cut above these.
Farnoge bumped into Cadell on chase debut at Wetherby and that wasn’t a bad run. If he improves on that he could threaten.
Leicester 1.25
I think it is safe to say SUPERBOLT deserved that win last time. He had been knocking on the door and the step up to 3 miles saw him improve enough to make the breakthrough. He is back slightly in trip here but if in the same form should follow up.
Latenightrumble beat another improver in Wal Buck’s at Wetherby last time so looks the obvious danger to the favourite.
Newbury 1.45
The step up to 3 miles saw MR HOPE STREET improve to win readily at Southwell on penultimate start. He followed up back in trip at Warwick and with more to come despite a further 8lb rise should be able to complete the hat-trick.
Mr Bramley impressed winning at Wetherby 4 weeks ago and with more to come is the main threat.
Leopardstown 2.00
Hard to look past HOME BY THE LEE here. He put Bob Olinger firmly in his place winning the Lismullen Hurdle impressively on return and if in that sort of form again should confirm those placings here. The blinkers are back on and he should get the job done.
Bob Olinger is likely to get involved again and looks the danger better off at the weights. Hewick is also respected with his new yard.
Newbury 2.20
There was lots to like about the way HOE JOLY SMOKE won at Sandown. He relished going up to 3 miles and was strong through the line. The handicapper has put him up 7lb but he looks ahead of his mark and should follow up against these.
Henry’s Friend shaped better in the Gold Cup at this track last month and if coming forward from that looks the danger.
Leopardstown 2.35
I have made it no secret how highly I rate FACT TO FILE and it was great to see him progress to win the John Durkan on return last month. He had Galopin Des Champs behind that day and I think he’ll confirm that form here so 15/8 looks way too big.
Galopin Des Champs will come forward for the run and does love this track so is the danger. Inothewayurthinkin best of the rest.
Newbury 2.55
I know The New Lion has been impressive so far but I couldn’t believe REGENT’S STROLL wasn’t favourite for this when the betting opened. He is going to improve for a while yet and looks a really exciting horse for Paul Nicholls.
It isn’t just a two-horse race though as Bill Joyce is also plenty talented and should give his running as well.
Leicester 3.10
That reappearance run for HUNTER LEGEND must just have been to get him fit as up in trip he ran much better when second at Wincanton. He bumped into the progressive No No Tango and with more to come again should get back in the winners enclosure now.
Awaythelad is a good yardstick and he hasn’t been shaping bad so in a race lacking strength in depth could emerge as the biggest threat.
Newbury 3.35
It might be worth taking a chance on ROCK MY WAY following up here. He impressed beating Ioupy Collonges at Doncaster and that horse has franked the form since. He is only 3lb higher and if handling the drop back in trip will go close against these.
Shanagh Bob is surely better than he showed at Uttoxeter and if leaving that behind could easily be the danger.

ITV Racing Win Treble
My NAP (best bet) and NEXT BEST (second best bet) both run live on ITV on Saturday so I have combined them with another well fancied horse to make a Win Treble. Pays 10/1!
