Newbury Race 1 - Boyle Sports Home Of Early Payout Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
The first division of this novice hurdle and it looks an ideal opportunity for the penalised SOBER GLORY (1) who is on a recovery mission after a disappointing performance at Sandown Park during December. Still rates an exciting prospect and could prove hard to beat against this field. Best of the rest is likely to be DUTCH CORNER (3) who finished third on both hurdle outings including at Lingfield when last seen. Main danger. YELD TO CALL (11) delivers first attempt since a wind operation and warrants a market check. MESCALERO (7) disappointed when fourth at Plumpton. Tongue strap is fitted for the first time. One to note

Third-up today. First-up to post a big 12 len win. Chepstow on November 5 over 3200m defeating Kadastral carrying 71.5kg at $1.50 in a hurdle. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at Sandown Park in the LR on December 6 over 3200m, on slow going 18 len behind Hurricane Pat carrying 70kg at $1.60. Definite winning chance. Best to forgive the last run and go on the good win two back.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, came from midfield; finished fifth of 12 starters at Exeter on December 18 over 3300m, on rain affected going; 41 len behind Blowers carrying 69.5kg at $81. Better for the run but may need more time.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished win in a small field at Salisbury on October 2 over 2000m, a head behind Into Battle with 59kg at $7 and before that finished fourth of 11 runners at Haydock Park on September 5 over 2300m, 9 len behind Gnomon carrying 64.5kg at $4.60. Worth keeping in mind.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Having raced just once last campaign finished seventh of 11 starters at Exeter on February 21 over 3300m, on a wet track; 21 len behind Claim The Throne carrying 74kg at $5. Won previous preparation first up by 0.5 len Chepstow on November 6 2024 over 3200m defeating Jordans Cross carrying 71kg at $10. Rates well and with a sound first up record is worth including in the multiples.
