14/1
25/1 surprise winner of Listed Market Rasen h'cap hurdle last summer. Failed to build on that after but now just 4lb higher and will be fit following recent spin on the Flat.

7/2
In great form last year winning five handicap hurdles, improving 25lb in all. Not seen since November but won first time out last term. Will find life much tough from current mark but cannot easily be dismissed.

4/1
Only success came in C&D novice hurdle in September 2018. Had wind surgery last summer and pulled up only subsequent start so has questions to answer after 254-days off the track.

9/1
Admirable 11-time winner, including seven over timber. Latest win came at Worcester last September off 2lb lower but was fair fourth at Cheltenham in October off 1lb higher. Not getting any younger but has a chance if fully fit on return.

8/1
Won Roscommon maiden hurdle last term for Andrew Slattery but ran poorly in three starts over hurdles for current yard last season. Again ran badly when last of 12 on Flat at Lingfield last month and has plenty to prove at present.

11/4
Dual Flat winner at up to 1m5f and not disgraced in five NH starts last term for current yard. Suited by testing ground so any rain would be a big bonus.

Won first time out last season on debut for this yard and did well in two of three subsequent starts. Not seen since disappointing in Listed Wetherby hurdle on soft ground in November. Stable in flying form so has solid chance.

16:20 Newton Abbot - 7 July 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A well contested handicap hurdle with plenty holding claims. ZEB SPIRIT won at the first time of asking last season and did well on decent ground after that. He's been saved for a summer campaign so with his yard in terrific form rates the one to beat. Grapevine won a Listed event last summer and should be ready for the fray after a run on the Flat. He won't be far away, while Get Back Get Back is another to have had a run on the Flat and is of some interest on only his second start in a handicap. Pointed Sharp and Global Tour are others in with a shout in a tight race.
  1. Zeb Spirit
  2. Get Back Get Back
  3. Grapevine
