Newton Abbot Race 1 - Welcome To Easter Raceday 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
WALK ON HIGH (6) kept on for second at Taunton while the winner has subsequently won again to complete a hat-trick. Repeated that display with a gritty runner-up effort at Fontwell and could now be primed to strike attempting the longer journey. SOUTHFIELD FINALE (5) debuted five months ago with a respectable fourth in a jumpers flat at Exeter. Untapped potential marks him as a contender first-up. LOKI'S MISCHIEF (4) was last seen finishing sixth of fifteen at Wincanton in January. Open to improvement along with NEON MADONNA (10) who merits consideration delivering first hurdle outing.

Third-up today. First-up finished seventh of 8 starters at Huntingdon on January 23 over 3170m, on slow going 36 len behind Philippa's Choice with 71.5kg at $12. Second run from a spell finished third of 7 runners at Wincanton on March 24 over 3000m, 15 len behind Zaochen Enki with 69.5kg at $26. Good last time but needs to take another step.

Resumes off a 30 day letup. Last outing finished fifth of 7 starters at Chepstow on March 20 over 3200m, 41 len behind Jaminska with 70kg at $6. The run before finished fourth of 8 runners at Wincanton on January 30 over 4280m, on heavy track; 28 len behind Bobbi With An I carrying 71kg at $5. Certainly worth including.

Second-up today. Fresh up after nine months finished sixth of 7 runners at Taunton on April 9 over 3300m, 115 len behind Nardaran carrying 68kg at $151. Previously second-up ran last at Stratford-On-Avon on July 21 over 3270m, 70 len behind Ronnies Rules with 65kg at $34. Further improved but hard to recommend on last couple.
