Inthewaterside posted a career best third at Aintree in April. Could show further improvement this season after undergoing a wind-operation.

Dropping back in trip will suit recent Aintree runner-up Guard The Moon who has the benefit of race fitness on side.

With Constitution Hill ruled out Nicky Henderson relies on Sir Gino to give him a sixth success in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle over the last eight years.

The unbeaten four-year-old was set to embark upon a fences campaign and can make a winning return to action after landing the G1 Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree during April.

Brentford Hope finished runner-up in the G2 Elite Hurdle and rates next best, while Lump Sum heads the remainder.

 

 

14:25 (Newbury) Queens Gamble

A commanding winner of all three outings over hurdles she looks feasibly treated making handicap debut.

Everything that could go wrong for Jeriko Du Reponet on his chasing debut at Kempton did. Could easily bounce back now revisiting hurdles.

It will take a huge performance from Salver to defy top weight but the four-year-old brings G1-placed form and will have ground conditions to suit for Gary Moore's winning yard last season.

 

15:00 (Newbury) Kandoo KId

Kandoo Kid improved over fences last season and could take another step forward following a wind-operation. He goes well fresh and looks the one to side with in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase.

The former G2 winning Colonel Harry finished second among Listed company at Carlisle on reappearance and is respected racing for last year’s winning trainer Jamie Snowden.

Recent Cheltenham winner Senior Chief and third that day Broadway Boy are also worth considering.

 

15:20 (Newcastle) The Changing Man

The Changing Man looked to be travelling with purpose when falling in a handicap chase at Wincanton on return. Represents the in-form Tizzard stable and retains plenty of potential for the Rehearsal Chase.

Bowtogreatness jumped well to win a novices handicap chase at Newbury earlier in the month and is be respected.

Stepping back up in trip will suit Donny Boy who posted a good effort placing second tackling fences at Ayr on reappearance.

Neon Moon can be considered racing off the same rating as when third at Ascot four weeks ago.

 

15:35 (Newbury) Imperial Saint

Imperial Saint can remain unbeaten over fences in the Coral "Pipped-At-The-Post" And Win Handicap Chase.

He quickened nicely to make it two-from-two at Aintree this season and steps up in grade. It might not be enough to prevent a hat-trick.

Petit Tonnerre finished runner-up to Imperial Saint on his penultimate outing and will find this more suitable than the G2 Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices Chase he was sixth in at Cheltenham last time.

Etalon is capable of better than when tailed off in the G2 Haldon Gold Cup on her return, while Issar D'Airy is worth an each-way shout.
