Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  135| CWS
12/1
Winner of four races over hurdles who finished a distant third of five to a very talented novice on fencing debut at Wincanton. That was his first start since March and he reappears after wind surgery, so could have much more to give.

16/1
At the peak of his powers when mopping up in handicap hurdles a couple of seasons ago. Not disgraced in a novice chase at Exeter last time, but has yet to convince in this sphere.
3
Horse silk
Just Your Type38
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  134
6/1
Point-to-point winner and successful in one of his three races over hurdles. Should improve for his fourth on chasing debut at Ffos Las last month.
4
Horse silk
Chosen Path30
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR:  134
9/2
Winner of two of his five starts over hurdles, but was last of three finishers on his chasing debut behind Mister Malarky at Plumpton. Down 2lb, but needs to show a little more aptitude for this game. Stable won this last year.
5
Horse silk
King Calvint53
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Jack Barber| OR:  133
12/1
Winner of two point-to-points and two hurdles. Slipped up on seasonal reappearance in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham and interesting that connections waste little time in sending him chasing.
6
Horse silk
Sunset Showdown269
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: R P McLernon| T: Miss R Curtis| OR:  130| BF
14/1
Point-to-point winner who has been lightly raced and is making his chasing debut on his first start since finishing fourth of seven in a maiden hurdle at Ascot in March. One to note in the betting.
7
Horse silk
Mister Malarky30
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-1| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard| OR:  128
5/1
Chasing debut and first run since April when winning a 2m3½f novices' handicap at Plumpton with Chosen Path in third. Shaped as though this longer trip would suit and can confirm the placings.
8
Horse silk
Vodka All The Way11
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  125| D
12/1
Winner of a novice hurdle who unseated his rider in the early stages of his chasing debut at Chepstow. Runs off the same mark and interesting to see how he fares this time.
9
Horse silk
Johanos637
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: N J Hawke| OR:  125
16/1
Wide-margin winner of his last two hurdle races in the spring of 2017. Tries his hand at chasing after a spell on the sidelines, is unexposed and certainly warrants respect.
10
Horse silk
Vieux Lille253
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR:  123| DWS
6/1
Winner of a bumper and three hurdles when trained by Philip Hobbs, but lost his way last season. Stable debut and first start since wind surgery, but previous efforts over fences were ordinary.
11
Horse silk
Absolute Power26
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: J McGrath| T: Miss R Curtis| OR:  120
17/2
Stable companion of Sunset Showdown who was out of his depth in a hot contest at this track on his jumping debut, but shaped better when dropped in class at Ffos Las. Bit to prove on balance.

Forecasts

Chosen Path (9/2), Mister Malarky (5/1), Just Your Type (6/1), Vieux Lille (6/1), Absolute Power (17/2), Theligny (12/1), King Calvin (12/1), Vodka All The Way (12/1), Sunset Showdown (14/1), Johanos (16/1), Tobefair (16/1)

13:40 Newbury - 19 December 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

An extremely-trappy novices' handicap chase in which cases can be made for most of the runners. However, those of most interest are Johanos, Sunset Showdown, Mister Malarky and KING CALVIN, with the vote going to the latter. He has shown fair form over hurdles, but is a winning pointer and this was always going to be his game.
  1. King Calvin
  2. Sunset Showdown
  3. Mister Malarky
