UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

PROFESSOR CALCULUS put in a solid display to make the frame over C&D earlier in the month. The five-year-old has been left on the same mark and that gives him leading claims of recording his second career success. One to watch out for is Enthused, who takes a step back down in distance and has to be respected off 1lb higher than when third as favourite at Fakenham. Urabamba completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Professor Calculus 2nd Enthused 3rd Urabamba

MAX OF STARS had Uncle Matthew a couple of places behind her when runner-up at Hexham and it's hard to imagine that form could be overturned, even with the latter sporting a first-time visor and a reapplied tongue tie. The chances of Ollie Pears' filly are aided further by the booking of champion jockey Brian Hughes and she should prove very tough to beat. Kilcummin is rated 57 on the Flat and could get involved on his jumping bow. David Pipe's French recruit Waitara is also very much in contention.
Prediction : 1st Max Of Stars 2nd Kilcummin 3rd Uncle Matthew

They didn't see which way FAROUK DE CHENEAU went at Fontwell, with the eight-year-old hosing up on his debut for Anthony Honeyball. He has been hit with an 8lb rise but considering the manner of his victory, that's unlikely to stop him from making it a double. The main danger might be recent Bangor victor Midnight Jewel, who can go well once more off 5lb higher, although Stormin Crossgales can't be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Farouk De Cheneau 2nd Midnight Jewel 3rd Stormin Crossgales

HERONORD returned to timber when finding only a resurgent rival too strong at Ffos Las and Evan Williams' charge could gain a career first success off only 2lb higher in what appears a weaker contest. Moonshine Spirit makes his handicap debut off a fair mark and is feared most, ahead of Sassified, who ran with more encouragement when staying on to finish third over shorter here just under a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Heronord 2nd Moonshine Spirit 3rd Sassified

It may pay to stick with last-time-out winner NICKELSONTHEDIME, who is only 3lb higher than for that Warwick success and he seems to go well for today's jockey. Czech Her Out isn't the easiest to predict, but she's capable on her day and a wind procedure since a Worcester defeat could revive her chances. The returning Jersey Wonder is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Nickelsonthedime 2nd Czech Her Out 3rd Jersey Wonder

This can go the way of BALA BROOK, who ran a highly encouraging race when second on his hurdling debut over C&D. The winner has gone in again since and Joe Tizzard's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Songo, who returns to this sphere after a decent effort on the Flat at Goodwood. Frankie Faulkner could be an interesting recruit for the Evan Williams stable.
Prediction : 1st Bala Brook 2nd Songo 3rd Frankie Faulkner

JUNIOR MASSINI has been a revelation since joining the Sheila Lewis stable and going over fences, backing up a Warwick victory at Bangor, and the hat-trick looks like a distinct possibility. The step up in trip is another plus and he is preferred to chasing debutant Gamalou D'alene and Loved Out, who has run well over the smaller obstacles of late and is also having his first start in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Junior Massini 2nd Loved Out 3rd Gamalou Dalene
