Newbury Race 3

Boyle Sports Best Odds Guaranteed Ebf Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $27,675

Nicky Henderson should be able to get another juvenile winner with FEEL GUT (4) who made an eye-catching debut at Auteuil in the autumn when finishing second. This looks to be a good opportunity to get off the mark on British debut. Taunton winner APOLLON FORLONGE (1) made a striking impression last month. Has plenty of size and should be more suited by this galloping track. Rates highly. MATIWO (5) fell early on at Cheltenham last month but looks worth another chance providing he jumps better. SIXTY'S ROCK (7) disappointed on hurdle debut at Wincanton two months ago when supported but should improve for that outing.

Third race start today. When well supported at debut, finished third in a small field at Exeter on November 23 over 3300m, 6 len behind Tenter Le Tout carrying 70kg at $4. Last to post a big 7 len win. Taunton on December 11 over 3300m defeating No Boundaries with 70kg at $3 in a hurdle. Sure to improve again. Very bright prospects once more.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, pulled up at Wincanton on December 4 over 3000m. Second-up ran last in a small field at Lingfield on December 21 over 3200m, 44 len behind Aqua Bleu carrying 70kg at $67. This looks a big test.

Four-year-old gelding by Sumbal out of Greenfieldflyer has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Purchased for GNS 1,400 (Tattersalls 2025 June Online Sale). Might just need this run but watch the market.

Racing second-up. Was promising at debut raced on the pace then finished third of 10 runners at Chepstow on October 11 over 3200m, 11 len behind Ammes with 70kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning fell at Cheltenham on December 13 over 3400m. Forgive first-up failure. A big rebound wouldn't surprise.

Facing the starter for the third time today. At long odds at debut, made ground from midfield; finished sixth of 12 runners at Wincanton on November 20 over 3000m, 9 len behind Bailly's Comet carrying 70kg at $15. Second-up finished fifth in a small field at Lingfield on December 21 over 3200m, 34 len behind Aqua Bleu carrying 70kg at $29. Looks to have the job ahead.

Last start raced on the pace prior to fading finished sixth of 12 runners at this track on December 17 over 3270m, 9 len behind Lady Litigator carrying 70kg at $23. Continues to make headway.
