NEWBURY

1.15: Tyrolean Dream and DECOUPAGE were second and fourth at Cheltenham, but Decoupage can reverse placings on this track. That pair should prove better value than the Champion Hurdle prospect Zafarabad and Lady Rebecca.

1.45: Conditions do not look testing enough for Princeful who would need everything in his favour to beat MARELLO.

2.20: The Toiseach and Teeton Mill are hard to ignore, but there is also good each-way value to be had with 33-1 chance INDIAN TRACKER. The Martin Pipe contender began last season promisingly and had obvious excuses for all but one of his disappointments afterwards. This trip should prove ideal and he is fully effective on good ground or soft.

2.10: TENNESSEE TWIST has had his problems but all looked fine and dandy at Cheltenham where he relished the long trip on a tough course. Today's test is not easy with Share Options lurking around with a low weight, but Jenny Pitman's charge is worth staying with.

2.40: NO RETREAT proved good enough when a rare stable runner at Newbury and looks the type to improve plenty being just a five-year-old. Whip Hand has fine chasing form and will be hard to beat, though his odds are likely to be skinny and there is just a doubt about his stamina.

3.10: PETERSEN HOUSE can emulate last year's winner, Native Shore, who had also won her previous four starts.

3.40: JEMARO jumped particularly well at Ludlow last backend and will take some holding off a low weight in this relatively soft-looking contest.
