Newbury Race 1 - Play Coral 'Racing-Super-Series' 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
ACT OF INNOCENCE (1) produced some useful form when making all to land a Taunton jumpers flat last season and might well be open to providing more improvement for his new yard hurdling. The main danger could come from SINNATRA (13) who won a jumpers flat at Chepstow last season. Delivered a second in a course and distance maiden hurdle and on that basis warrants plenty of thought. Olly Murphy has some useful recruits to his name and the dual jumpers flat winner HARBOUR ISLAND (6) might get involved after a decent hurdling debut second at Carlisle. NICE ONE ERIC (9) cannot be ignored after debuting in a jumpers flat.
