Caroles Legacy was a game winner with Noun De La Thinte coming oh so close to winning again, she was beaten only a neck, a very game mare who owes us nothing.

Racing today kicks off a great weekend of action over jumps with Friday’s cards coming from Chepstow, Newbury and Doncaster. The big race on Saturday at Donny is the Great Yorkshire Chase which has attracted a really strong field. Denman will not run at Cheltenham, waiting instead for Newbury in a couple of week’s time.

Here are my best bets for Friday, over the sticks;

1:30 Newbury, Master Of The Hall- Win. I was a little concerned about the Nicky Henderson stable form but as we saw on Thursday there is nothing to worry about. Master Of the hall can add to the stable’s impressive seasonal tally with another win in this decent looking novice hurdle. In my view Henderson’s charge has the best long term future and should confirm that by following up on a good win last time at Sandown.

Nicky Henderson could land a Newbury Winner

3:15 Newbury, Adams Island- Win. Tony McCoy rides Adams Island for Rebecca Curtis, over hurdles for the first time. At Ffos Las last time out he absolutely bolted up in a bumper. That confirmed what a decent prospect he is and assuming he has schooled well he could win this in the style of a good horse. The booking of McCoy is significant and the stable is in decent form.

3:05 Doncaster, Barwell Bridge- Win. At Doncaster I like the look of Barwell Bridge who can make light work of these. The price may be the draw back here but he should completely hack up in my view. Timmy Murphy takes the ride for Warren greatrex who has started his training career from his new base in some style.
