7:00 Newbury Tips

Won a maiden here last time over 6 furlongs. Extra furlong to tackle today. Top trainer and jockey combination. Looks good.

Isabella Castile won her final start in novice company at Windsor last October and has been placed twice this year at Kempton in May and again over course and distance earlier this month. She is up 2 lbs here but looks sure to go well again. She looks like a good each-way bet with 4 places on offer.

MOUTAI edges back up in class , but the stronger pace-angle created by better quality handicappers could help and he arrives with the yard in fine form. Tom Marquand is clearly as positive a jockey booking as can be and he rates the value play deserving of a win.

Won last time out in Salisbury. It was between Slipper Time and Mythical Composer, and the greater odds and value make Slipper Time the one to go for here.

An open-looking handicap where Excellent Echo appeals at a big-looking 14/1. He won well at Leicester last month, and a 1-pound rise in the ratings shouldn't be enough to stop him. The expected rain looks to be another plus.

Jr Climbs, a 3-year-old bay gelding trained by P D Evans, will be ridden by Sean M. Levey and contests the 19:00 Newbury handicap off an official rating of 72. He has shown flashes of ability this season, most recently finishing a strong second at Haydock, beaten just a length, which gives real substance to his current form. While he’s struggled to string two solid runs together previously, his exposure to Class 4 company suggest he’s not over-faced here. Levey is in the saddle (a plus) and will aim to harness his sharp early speed before settling into the race??'a riding style that suits Newbury’s testing turf circuit, especially over 7f. Given his fitness, consistent recent efforts, Jr Climbs looks poised to be a competitive presence in the finish. You only have to watch his last race to see his turn of foot late on in the race, the button was hit he picked up so well, I think levey could get a tune out of Jr climbs at these odds.
