Newbury put on one of the better cards in the UK this Saturday afternoon but sensible bets are hard to find with (hopefully) the one exception – The New Lion who has oozed class when winning his first three races, one bumper and two over hurdles, the latest over course and distance in late November when he scored by three lengths when eased home without really knowing he had been in a race.
He has perhaps his toughest task yet with five of his six rivals a winner last time out and two of them also unbeaten, though he will need to pass this with flying colours if he is to continue to harbour serious Cheltenham aspirations.
