Newbury Race 5 - Goffs Hundred Grand Bumper (Open NH Flat Race) (GBB Race)
WAY MAKER (1) Resumes after a 30 week break. Secured a close victory last run at Stratford and drops back to a suitable grade. Expecting to settle positively. No shock to see a win. DIAMOND STREET (2) Won by a huge margin of 10L last time at Doncaster and matched against a less competitive field. Harry Skelton rates highly. Deserves consideration. BAILLY'S COMET (9) Fresh today. Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 4L last start at Cheltenham and facing a weaker grade. Harry Cobden is a crucial engagement. Genuine winning chance. IRISH GOODBYE (10) Fought on well to win a tight contest by 1/2L last start at Carlisle and having second race start. Up against a less competitive field. A win wouldn't surprise.

First up after a 30 week break. Fought on gamely when winning by a head last run at Stratford and facing a weaker group of contenders. Should go very close.

Pulled away to win by 10L last time at Doncaster and competing at a lower grade. Jockey Harry Skelton rates highly aboard. Has a good chance.

Made every post a winner to win by a margin of 1/2L last run at Chepstow and challenged by less formidable competitors. Should come to hand quickly. Respect the betting.

Spaced the field to win by a margin of 3 3/4L last run at Kempton. Paul Obrien and Harry Derham make an imposing pair. Expect a forward showing.

Started $23.00 and disappointing run when 9th last run at Kempton but having second race start. Gets back and needs luck. Competing at a lower level of competition. Looking elsewhere.

Back from a break. Was $15.00 and making up some late ground when 5th last run at Cheltenham and matched against lesser competition. Likely to get back in the field. Will be facing a challenge.

Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Wincanton and having second race start. Going down in class. Gets some weight taken off. This won't be easy.
