Newbury Race 1 - Castle Windows Newbury Anniversary Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
LISBANE PARK (2) Right in the mix last start in a hurdle at Exeter and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Producing consistent results since coming back from a spell. Must be considered. CECILIA STAR (8) Secured the win by a slim margin last run in a hurdle at Newbury. Looks well suited in this race. GAMBINO (3) Although being out sprinted still grabbed 3rd beaten by nearly 10L last time at Southwell and promising career start. Harry Skelton is highly regarded. Can measure up to this company. KOCKTAIL BLEU (1) Finished 2nd last start in a hurdle at Kempton. Will be positive in the run early. Producing consistent results since resuming from a spell. Open to improvement and has a show in this field.

Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd beaten by almost 10L last time at Southwell and good career start. Harry Skelton is a bonus and facing a rise in trip. Win will not surprise.

Odds of $67.00 and ran 8th last time in a hurdle at Taunton. Should jump out and bowl along. Peak required to upset this field.

Didn't finish in a hurdle at Haydock and will be dropping in distance. Can't entertain a bet.

On a short back up. Started $201.00 and below standard effort when 11th last time in a hurdle at Fontwell. Expected to settle towards the tail. Chances are slim.
