There is a bit of everything on Sky Sports Racing today with some excellent jumping to go alongside flat racing from Newcastle and Grade One action over in Saratoga.
3:00 Newton Abbot – Jumping veterans contest classy hurdle
Only six runners line up for the Par Inn For Sport And Fun Handicap Hurdle (3:00), but it is a classy sextet in the feature at Newton Abbot.
David Pipe’s Umbrigado is arguably the most interesting having had wind surgery since pulling up at Aintree all the way back in December 2021. On seasonal reappearance he could well be a threat, although will need to rediscover his best to get the better of likely favourite Valentino.
Harry Kimber takes a handy 5lb off Jackie Du Plessis’ seven-year-old, who has already won this season at the venue.
Geordie Des Champs is another to note for JP McManus and Rebecca Curtis, having put in a pair of decent thirds at Uttoxeter already this season.
