Races PRB Newbury - ENG

Progressive five-year-old. Opened with a fourth in a LR (3300m) at Cheltenham two starts back. Took the next step to score in a bumper (3200m) at Wetherby by 2 lengths when public elect last time. Expect him to be tough to beat again.

Lightly raced gelding who opened his account at his last outing two months ago, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a bumper (3300m) at Market Rasen. Capable of playing a major role.

Returns after a five months break. Progressive type who is open to further improvement after a very good preparation last time in. Looks a leading contender and bold showing expected.

Emerging talent who placed on debut then scored in a bumper (3500m) at Fontwell Park last time out, getting home by 6 lengths. Impossible to rule out.

Placed on debut on the flat then finished eighth, beaten 14 lengths, in a bumper (3300m) at Cheltenham on October 25 at his most recent appearance. Looks tested in this line-up.

Has not appeared in a jumps race since placing in a at Lisronagh P2p on February 23. Comes here off a last start win over 3400m at Aintree. Top chance back to this discipline.

Won on the flat on debut at Wincanton then finished fourth last time, again on the flat, at Ascot over 3100m. A switch to jumping comes at the right time. Can win again without surprising.

Comes here 38 days after a 6 length win first-up over 3200m in a flat race at Warwick at just his second race-day appearance. Back in great order and hard to beat again.

Won on the flat on debut at Hereford then proved it was no fluke last time, again on the flat, when a respectable second at Warwick over 3200m, beaten 6 lengths. Good grounding for his jumps debut. Right in the mix again.

Won on debut last start by 7 lengths in a bumper (3000m) at Wincanton. Looks safely held.

Finished third last time out over 3400m at Aintree two months ago. Having first start over the jumps now. Solid on the flat latest but happy to watch this time.
