Newton Abbot Race 1 - Sun Racing Free Tickets With Sun Club Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
YELLOW CARD (8) appeals off a last-start 2nd at Ffos Las over 4023m, beaten 1.25L, and looks suited up in trip. RIVER DON (4) was 4th of 5 here over this distance on debut and can improve with that run. BRENDA LADY (9) kept on for 4th of 5 at Ffos Las over 3183m and stays under consideration. Others have sizable recent defeats or long layoffs to defy.
