Newton Abbot’s NAP: NICKELSONTHEDIME | 2:13pm newtonabbotracing.com Handicap Hurdle | Dom’s Pick
Coming up against a hot favourite, Paul Nicholls’s Oscars Moonshine gives lumps of weight away so Kayley Woollacott’s charge could be worth siding with.
He remains a maiden but has some decent early season form and was simply outclassed in a four-runner field at Cheltenham back in April, with this looking a far more appropriate contest.
The form of his Warwick second this time last year has worked out incredibly strong and should put him way ahead of his current mark of 117.
NB: ARIAN | 3:23pm newtonabbotracing.com Handicap Chase
Her campaign last season may have ended underwhelmingly at Chepstow, but Phillip Hobbs’ mare is a former course winner and should fare better for the 7-month break.
She beat a subsequent Listed winner at this track last year with ease and the Somerset yard she represents are currently in flying form.
Kauto The King is a fairly inconsistent sort but won here in May so should give the selection something to think about.
