Watch Paul Nicholls talk to Betfair about his runners


13:54 Newbury - Mark Milligan: Back Inthewaterside

Inthewaterside is an edgy sort, but he had a fine first season over hurdles and looks on a mark he can exploit for the Paul Nicholls/Harry Cobden combination in this handicap hurdle.

A dual bumper winner, he stepped up on that form when winning on hurdles debut last season over this sort of trip before disappointing back at 2m on his next start.

He looked a little short of pace there but was soon back on song reverted to a longer trip next time, convincingly winning a novices' handicap at Lingfield.

The selection rounded off his season with a pair of good placed efforts, the latest of which came in first-time hood when third in a competitive handicap at Aintree in April.

They'll need to keep a lid on him before the off, but if that can be achieved successfully then Inthewaterside could still be well treated off 132, with a recent wind op likely to bring about a bit of improvement, too.


14:10 Newcastle - Daryl Carter: Back Sir Gino

An exciting clash between this column's Supreme Novice selection, Mystical Power, and the brilliant Sir Gino - 11/102.11 on the Betfair Sportsbook. It isn't easy to choose between these two horses on paper. Still, Sir Gino represents the next National Hunt star to me, and I can't see how Mystical Power will have the finishing effort to live with him, having been soft in the finish on two occasions last term.

Nico de Boinville heads up to Newcastle to ride, and all is in place for Sir Gino to prove an outstanding asset for Nicky Henderson. Everything adds up for this horse to be a top-class prospect, including the visual impression he left, and he makes plenty of appeal today at any odds against.


15:00 Newbury - Kevin Blake: Back Broadway Boy

However, the one that makes the most appeal is the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Broadway Boy.

The six-year-old made an excellent start to his chasing career last season, winning three of his first four starts over fences including a Listed novices' chase and a valuable handicap chase off a mark of 146, both at Cheltenham.

At that stage it looked like he could develop into a serious contender for the National Hunt Chase or even the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, but he hit a bump in the road when scoping very badly after finishing a well-beaten third behind Grey Dawning in a Grade 2 novice chase at Warwick in January.

He was given time to get over that and returned for a Grade 1 novice chase at the Aintree Grand National meeting, but might not have been fully over it as he again disappointed in first-time cheekpieces.

Broadway Boy made his return to action in a valuable handicap chase at Cheltenham in October off a mark of 149. Having jumped well on the front end, he was bang in the race until the lack of a recent run told in the closing stages and he faded to finish third beaten 12½ lengths.

Dropped 1lb for that run, one suspects that his connections have had this race as his main aim for quite some time and everything about the test it presents should suit him well.

As well as that, he could well be left alone in front which can only help his cause. The Twiston-Davies team continue to be in fine form and the six-year-old looks to have very solid prospects of running a big race.
