Holetown Herot56
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  128| BF
5/2
Progressive in bumpers and also going the right way over hurdles, defying a penalty at the first attempt in a 19f Taunton novice in February. Ran at least as well in defeat attempting to concede weight all around at Newbury just 4 days later and looks sure to make another bold bid.

4/9
French bumper winner. Placed on first 2 hurdle starts for new connections before improving again to edge out a similarly progressive one on his handicap debut at Sandown. Further progress when runner-up both outings since and very much sets the standard.

5/1
Fairly useful hurdler who opened his account on the back of a breathing operation/9 weeks off in 9-runner maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 24 days ago, kept up to work. Ought to be competitive under a penalty.

Lightly-raced maiden on the level but has made a discouraging start over hurdles.

Has yet to show any ability.

Horse silk
80/1
Related to some useful performers in these silks but showed little in a Huntingdon novice hurdle in October 2021 and unseated rider first on Uttoxeter hurdling debut/comeback 3 weeks ago.

Well held completed start over hurdles.

Horse silk
40/1
Showed a bit on January's debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) but looked in need of more of a test. Saddle slipped early when pulled up at Taunton 8 weeks later.

66/1
Fair Flat winner in France who was considerately handled when well held on Taunton hurdle debut 9 days ago. Probably one for handicaps further down the line.

Forecasts

Inneston (4/9), Holetown Hero (5/2), Milldam (5/1), Flashy Boy (12/1), Call Me Arthur (40/1), Only Fools (66/1), Giulietta (80/1), Hobsons Bay (100/1), Wellwillya (250/1), Nowyouvebinandunit (250/1)

13:40 Newton Abbot - 8 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

INNESTON shaped really well in a warmly-contested handicap at Newbury 2 weeks ago and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, he's very much the one to beat. Holetown Hero and Milldam are the obvious threats.
