There’s a £20,000 handicap hurdle feature event at Newton Abbot, where Neil Mulholland’s Rossetti looks a lively option
There are two meetings on the Flat this afternoon and two more this evening, but the most valuable card of the day – and by some distance – is over the jumps at Newton Abbot, where there is £68,000 to play for against the £57,000 on offer at Leicester.
The feature event at the west country track is a £20,000 handicap hurdle which had eight runners, ideal for each-way betting purposes, at the overnight stage. Unfortunately, Ashoka has been taken out this morning and each-way punters will now need to find one of the first two home. That promises to be a much more difficult task in a race where five of the runners are currently trading between 5-1 and 6-1, and there is a fair case to be made for the 14-1 outsider, Magie Du Ma.
