2:15 Newbury Tips

Was giving Murcia 7 lbs when 2nd in the Aintree Juvenile Grade 1. Fred Winter winner in behind there and 4th Give It To Me OJ has advertised the form well since. Soft ground a positive. Been aimed at this through the summer and they think he'll be one for the International Hurdle and then the 2m½ Aintree Grade 1. Skelton has said next season they'll head over fences for the Henry VIII and the Arkle, so they clearly think highly. Should be able to win this.

The 4yo is useful on the flat and has a good 92 rating. Just four starts over hurdles, form 2144. His last hurdle run was back in March at the Festival, a 22-runner Grade 3 juvenile hurdle, and he was involved in a three-way photo for the runner-up spot. The winner has gone on to good things since. A flat run three weeks ago, after a six-month break, should have him sharper now. Every chance in this handicap off his current rating, and he looks underestimated.
