3:33 Newbury Tips

Sea Force looks like the one to side with here and should have a lot more finishing power than these. Get on him today. It will win... I feel so.

Montpellier made a strong impression on debut at Thirsk, winning by two lengths over 7f. Now carrying a 7lb penalty, he steps into a deeper novice field but has Oisin Murphy booked and looks likely to build on that promising start.

I'm backing Blue Lancero in the 15:33 at Newbury. This 3-year-old colt, trained by Richard Hannon, made an encouraging debut at Doncaster on May 3rd, finishing third in a 7f maiden. He showed good early pace and stayed on well, suggesting there's more to come. Sired by Havana Gold and out of the Excelebration mare Exacting, his pedigree indicates he should handle the 7f trip well. The step up to a Novice Stakes race today offers a chance to build on that promising start. With Sean Levey booked to ride, the partnership could prove fruitful. Given his debut performance and potential for improvement, Blue Lancero presents a solid each-way opportunity in this race.

2 at the top may have the winning answer, but Abundance is the value place option. Eye-catching on debut 7f at Wolverhampton back in October, coming from out the back to 4th. On return last month, 3/11 at Windsor, went after runaway leader, led furlong out, headed, lost photo for 2nd. Place claim at least.

Makes his debut tomorrow and the market suggests it's a tough ask to win this however the sire (Profitable (IRE)) despite having a modest strike rate might be key tomorrow. Let's not forget the sire achieved a huge win with 125/1 shot Andalseeyagraham last December.
