13:50 NEWBURY

This is a nice open handicap hurdle to kick things off and I’m drawn to ON THE WILD SIDE   for Dr. Richard Newland.

The seven-year-old comes into this looking for a third win on the bounce after two comfortable victories at Hexham.

He's really well handicapped in this field carrying 10-12, so I think he’ll be right in the mix.

14:25 NEWBURY

I tipped BOTOX HAS   as he made a return to winning ways at Cheltenham last month, and I'm keen on him again.

Gary Moore’s four-year-old has a stellar record thus far with three wins and a second for the yard, and that second was behind Allmankind in Grade 2 action.

His jumping has improved and seems to suit the 2m trip so I think he’s value once more here.

15:00 NEWBURY

This Ladbrokes Trophy is a very tough race to call but I’m going to take a chance on Paul Nicholls’ SECRET INVESTOR .

The eight-year-old has a very solid record with six wins and eight seconds from 17 runs and has proven himself on good and soft ground.

His last two runs have been particularly impressive, finishing a close second to Native River in the Denman Chase and then a solid win in the Native River Handicap at Chepstow.

I think he’s definitely worth an each-way bet.

15:15 NEWCASTLE

I’m going to have to oppose Pym  here given the weight he carries, so I'm going to side with WHATMORE .

He ran incredibly well when second in the Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot last month in a race he probably should’ve won, but was just edged out by Regal Encore.

I think he’s a superb jumper, has the stamina for the distance and is very well handicapped so is ticking a lot of boxes for me. 

EACH-WAY DOUBLE
