Newbury 3.35

Newbury 3.35 11 This Is It @ 14/1 / 10 Beneagles @ 5/1

(BetVictor + SkyBet go odds to 4th place - see notes for Tricast Perm suggestion)

The most competitive race of the day and hard to rule many out. The Going at Newbury though is heavy; the Going

stick indicates it will be deep Going and this is the last race of the day, so likely to be quite "cut up". That puts me off Forza Milan

and The Organist a bit, as at this stage, I don't fancy either will relish a slog in the mud. Hello George might, but the handicap mark

looks a bit prohibitive. I am left with 4 who I think will relish conditions, 3 with scope, and one who could be a dark horse.

I just take BENEAGLES to reverse recent form with Whataknight and feel the weight carrying Whataknight has to do could be

the main factor between the pair here, it has carried more in P2P racing but Alan King's horse looked in need of the run on seasonal

debut and has any amount of improvement to come, I don't think they would run if he had Going concerns. The win of THIS IS IT

at Exeter was most impressive, this is a step up in Grade but a 6lbs rise is fair, the horse gets in off a lovely weight and the

way it romped up that steep hill, indicates plenty of stamina. It is just preferred to Actinpieces, another with stamina assured

who looks the type that can stay on past beaten horses to nick a place. I make BENEAGLES and THIS IS IT the tips and will

perm in Whataknight and Actinpieces for a suggested Tricast perm.
