Newton Abbot Race 1 - Celebrating National Racehorse Week Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
PLAYFUL FOX (2) Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 3 1/4L last time in a hurdle at Worcester. Possesses good closing speed. Tracking very well this campaign. Harry Skelton is highly regarded. Has plenty of claims. KING'S SCHOLAR (1) Resuming after a spell. Won narrowly by a nose last start in a hurdle at Worcester. Large claim helps. One of the major players. WHERMYROSEMARYGOES (5) Won by a huge margin of 3L last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter and fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Harry Cobden is a strong choice aboard. Can win this. DEVON RED (4) Ran 4th last run in a hurdle at Worcester but was on debut last time. Expected to settle towards the tail. Honest and strong place bet in this race.

Caught the eye when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Worcester. Very competitive this preparation. Harry Skelton is a suitable booking. Displays good finishing speed. Highly respected.

Finished 3rd last time in a hurdle at Newton Abbot but back to a shorter trip. Seems unlikely.

Jumped at $67.00 and came in 4th last run in a hurdle at Worcester but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the run. This will be a test.

Shot clear to win by 3L last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Jockey Harry Cobden is an asset. Should go very close.

Started at $301.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 8th last run in a hurdle at Newton Abbot but goes down in weight. Tough ask.
