Newbury, Ffos Las and Newton Abbot: Key Races and Rising Stars

Sky Sports Champions League •
×

Newbury’s 7pm card opens with the Venture Security Handicap, fielding 16 runners. Signcastle City, fresh from a competitive York outing, looks poised after a late‑stage beat. White Ladder and Starlight Sami, both improving, eye a win over Salisbury’s Swiped. Creative Queen, untested in a blinkers trial, steps into a soft‑ground debut for the race.

Ffos Las at 3.30pm features English Time, a half‑brother to Marhaba Ya Sanafi, targeting his maiden in the Vibe Recruit Stakes. After strong shows behind Extremely Zain and Shipbourne, the colt’s size suggests future prospects. Foxy Night and West Byfleet bring form but lack the potential of English Time for the upcoming season later.

Newton Abbot’s 6.45pm race pits Skelton’s Coumeenoole against Nicholls’ Outmaster in the Happy Birthday June O'Dwyer Novices’ Hurdle. Coumeenoole, fresh from a trio win, carries experience and a weight advantage. Outmaster, unbeaten, won his debut by 30 lengths eased down, but faces a proven yard favourite to maintain his form in the upcoming season and keep the down rating high for future entries at the biggest races this year again.

Other highlights include On Edge and Grey Horizon leading a six‑furlong handicap at 2.30pm, while Wateera seeks an unbeaten streak at 5.17pm. Saint Polo and Cogital chase consecutive wins at 5.35pm, and Sudbury Hill, a half‑brother to Champers Elysees, aims for a hurdle improvement at 6.10pm. Taritino looks for back‑to‑back victories later in the day for the final race of the day and the crowd.
