I have taken a bit of a break from punting since Cheltenham but we've a decent card at Newbury tomorrow so it's time to get back in the saddle.
14:05, Get Best Odds Guaranteed At BetVictor Novices' Handicap Hurdle
Calimystic 7/1, 1pt each-way (4 places)
Nicky Henderson's novice bumped into a decent one of Emma Lavelle's at Doncaster on hurdling debut who was running very well in a big race at Sandown earlier this month before departing at the last. He duly won well at that track last time out over this trip in nice style. He is incredibly unexposed after just 2 hurdle starts and looks like he could be plenty better than an opening mark of 118.

14:40, BetVictor Home Of The Saturday Superboost Handicap Chase
Scarface 6/1, 1pt each-way (4 places)
This isn't the first time I have backed Joe Tizzard's chaser this season. He perhaps flatters to deceive but his form in the spring of 2024 read 1st, 1st, 2nd. That 2nd came at Cheltenham in April off a 5 pound higher mark than he races off here. He likes this trip, track and ground and I think we can forgive him a poor effort last time as it was in a fast run affair on ground which would have been easier than ideal.
