Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Newport
An open Class 5 handicap hurdle with Newport holding a narrow edge on our figures after finishing a close second here last time. Curious Mrs Fox ought to improve significantly if ridden more positively and represents the chief threat, while Betteryouthanme arrives in form on the back of a win and Malangen is back in good shape and was going strongly until departing last time. Selection: Newport.
