Newbury Race 1 - BetVictor Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
ITSINTHENAME (2) Left nothing to chance when winning by 1L last time in a hurdle at Catterick. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Will give a big sight. CAME FROM NOWHERE (1) Back from break. Ran on strongly to win last time in a hurdle at Ascot. Made it 2 wins in a row. Will be positive in the run early. Top prospects against this opposition. LE FRIMEUR (3) Resuming after a spell. Picked up nicely to win last run in a hurdle at Chepstow. Harry Derham yard are in good form of late. Can get the job done. DOUJADOU (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 13L last time in a hurdle at Chepstow and having second career run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can make a claim.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Ran home strongly to win last time in a hurdle at Ascot. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 attempts. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Back from a spell. Ran over the top of them when winning last run in a hurdle at Chepstow. Recent form of Harry Derham is strong. Capable of winning this.

Odds of $101.00 and disappointing run when 5th last run in a hurdle at Newbury. Expected to settle towards the rear. Can't have on what it has been showing.

At $151.00 weakened to finish 10th last time in a hurdle at Newbury but having second race start. Risky betting proposition.

First up and finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 26L first up last preparation in a hurdle at Chepstow. More confidence with jockey Harry Cobden guiding the horse. Can run into the placings.
