5:15 Newbury Tips

Unexposed 3yo, 2 wins from 2, the form looks solid. Winning a decent 13 runner AW novice stakes under a penalty five weeks ago. His debut win came during July, with some cut in the ground which is a positive for his handicap debut. Unexposed and a fair opening handicap mark.

Already a course and distance winner and ran well last time out at Sandown, coming 3rd in June. Goes well fresh, so the break is no problem.

Gloryous has won two from six this year, with the latest win at Leicester in July. Unlucky last time at Newmarket, and is capable of more than bare form.

JANEY MACKERS has not fulfilled early expectations and may not have trained on. Given her 7-week break, it possible she has had a bit of a service and could run better. Definitely looks to enjoy the softer ground so the more rain the better. Watch the market for clues as she is probably on a fair handicap mark.

I have some time for JUST AN HOUR. The minutes have passed since a good run through the summer, but the gelding probably remains in form. Not proven on soft ground (has been second on good to soft) but is proven in this class and looks a big price. Handles unconventional tracks but doesn't look to need that and having been kept ticking over, he could yet have a hand to play over the next few weeks.

Gelded son of Zoffany & Lambari ( Dam's sire Medicean ) who was last seen at Kempton 30 days ago where finishing 6th/12 keeping on well all the way to the line without losing contention after unluckily not handling the final bend into the home straight currently operating on an extremely dangerous mark of 73 Kieren Burke's inmate looks poised strike here especially now stepping up in trip with the cheeckpieces applied for the time and they can have a positive effect worth noting he is now operating 2lb below his last winning mark here and looks to be a step ahead of the accesor at this stage in my point trainer Kieren Burke also has a healthy £35.66 to a £1 level stake when having just the one runner at a flat meeting jockey Josephine Gordon takes the ride and can give Zoffandia a promising ride here at Newbury expect to see this good looking chestnut playing a huge role in this class 4 handicap over on the business end
