Newbury best each-way bet: Return to happy hunting ground should suit Betties Bay

A warm August afternoon at Newbury provides the perfect setting for Friday’s competitive race card, including this intriguing handicap over seven furlongs.
16:20 Newbury: Christopher Smith Associates Llp Handicap (7 furlongs)
Game Set won his first two outings as a juvenile last year and despite struggling to deliver so far this term, he looks the one to beat here with Billy Loughnane in the pilot’s seat.
However, the extra places up for grabs in this wide-open sprint have Tipstrr’s pundits looking deeper in the betting for more appealing each-way value.
Able Kane, Lord Rapscallion and Haziym all have their merits, but our final nod goes to Betties Bay, who is looking to replicate her previous visit to this Berkshire track this time last year.
Having come second here on career debut in June 2023, this smart filly only had to wait six weeks and two more outings before returning here to register her only career win to date.
She hasn’t yet hit those same heights in her five three-year-old outings to date, but this step up in trip on her return to a happy hunting ground could be just the boost Betties Bay needs to give Cieren Fallon a decent ride and a push for a frame finish.
Suggested best bet: Betties Bay each-way in the 16:20 at Newbury
