Newton Abbot Race 4 - Passage House Hotel South Devon Gateway Hcp Hurdle
ALL WELL AND GOOD (1) First up after a break of 74 weeks. Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of 19L last run in a hurdle at Worcester. Will be there at the finish. MARHABA PRINCE (5) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Didn't finish in a hurdle at Hexham on May 2nd. Should race on the speed. Winnable race. IN LIMBO (7) First run back from a break of 85 weeks. Ran away with a win by a margin of 3 1/2L last start in a hurdle at Exeter. Good prospects. WESTERN CROSS (4) Resuming after a 29 week spell. Set the pace when winning by a margin of 8L last run in a hurdle at Exeter. Will be trying to topple them late. Suitably placed in this race.

Fresh from a spell. Didn't finish in a hurdle at Bangor. Change in trainer. Should come to hand quickly. Jockey Harry Skelton is an asset. Overlook from a betting angle.
