8:57 Newton Abbot Tips

Illogical Logic is a front runner and is trained by Christian Williams and ridden by Jack Tudor. He has run 7 times over hurdles with a win rate of 14% and a place rate of 29%. He won his last outing at this course and distance by 1 and a half lengths off a mark of 86, so he handles similar going and conditions as today. Today's handicap mark of 93 is slightly higher but still workable given his recent form. Unlucky in his penultimate run, he is well treated on hurdle form and can follow up with a strong showing. Good pace here should suit his front-running style. Win chance.

The model I run suggests Radharc Na Slaine can win this one. This result has been driven by Radharc Na Slaine having a comparably high RPR to the other 7 runners, but goes out carrying the second lowest amount of weight thanks to an attractive-looking mark. Radharc Na Slaine has some reliable placed efforts over the recent form figures but needs improvement to go one better here. Last ran 20 days ago, so race fitness shouldn't be an issue, and over a stone less than the current top weight and market leader over this 3m 1f trip should be telling by the end. The model has issued a 'low' staking indicator, which translates to a 0.75pt bet on a scale of 0-4.

From a top yard and on the up. In very good form and still weighted to go well once again. Has liked left-handed tracks in the past and looks to be a good each-way bet.

Testflight is down to a basement mark of 67, his lowest ever. But at age eight, he should be near his peak as a chaser. He has been pointing this year, gaining his first-ever win in a maiden conditions point last month at Cothelstone, jumping much better than he finished off the previous year under rules. He could now be capable of exploiting his very low mark back under rules with Tabitha Worsley taking his weight below ten stone.

I like this mare's attitude. She has shown determination when headed in the past, especially when winning well at Southwell. She has ground to make up on Ann D'arabie in their match at Huntingdon, but her jumping wasn't the best there. At tonight's prices, Eightytwo looks the better bet.

Not run that well last twice, but that was @ Fontwell which is a very unique track, so may not have suited selection. They are a C/D winner and ran well here on final start of last season, good conditional retains ride taking off 7lb and shrewd trainer best here with her chasers last 5 seasons @ 25 percent, making current 11/1 solid Ew value in the race.
