Newbury Race 3 - Coral 'Daily Rewards Shaker' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
WALK TALL (7) showed up well when runner-up on his debut in a heavy-ground bumper at Exeter in February. Joe Tizzard's Walk In The Park gelding should have strengthened up both physically and mentally over the summer and this previous point-to-point scorer looks an interestinng hurdling prospect. BUDDY HOLLY (8) shaped nicely when seventh in a bumper at Punchestown on debut and cannot be ignored having since joined Nicky Henderson's. KALKBRENNER (1) made a nice start to life over hurdles with a snug win at Ffos Las recently and should remain right in the mix under the penalty. KIWI RUSH (5) could go well.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after nine months won by 3 len Fontwell Park on November 7 over 3500m defeating Roi Du Risk carrying 70.5kg at $3.10 in a hurdle. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Boulta P2p on November 23 2024 over 4828m. Inform, but this a much tougher race than last outing. Prefer to see.

Having third race start. First race start finished second of 8 starters at Chepstow on March 16 over 3200m, 1.75 len behind Brecharnon carrying 72kg at $8. Went for a spell before returning finished third of 13 starters at Chepstow on November 5 over 3200m, 26 len behind Sober Glory with 71.5kg at $23. Unlikely to be contesting the finish here.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after nearly two years came from midfield; finished fourth of 12 runners at Ffos Las on October 28 over 4000m, slow track; 6 len behind Kalkbrenner carrying 71.5kg at $34. Previously second-up finished fourth of 9 runners at Monksgrange P2p on March 31 2024 over 4828m, on rain affected going; 16 len behind He Can't Dance carrying 60kg. Is improving with racing and among the main dangers.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Having raced just once last preparation held ground to the line finished second of 11 starters at Exeter on February 21 over 3300m, on rain affected going; 0.5 len behind Claim The Throne carrying 71kg at $6. Won first up last previous preparation. Look for a bold run while fresh.

Last start won by 2 len Uttoxeter on November 15 over 4000m on heavy track defeating Rosie Mahler carrying 71.5kg at $29 in a hurdle. Before that eased back early on finished fourth in a small field at Ascot on November 1 over 3100m, 15 len behind Military Alliance with 66.5kg at $81. Rough place claims in a tough looking race.
