13:35 Newbury - Back Goshhowposh E/W @ 16/117.00

It's Super Saturday at Newbury and there should be plenty of Cheltenham clues on offer with the likes of Lulamba, Haiti Couleurs and L'Homme Presse lining up in various races, while there are some exciting novice hurdlers on show too.

It's the handicaps that mainly interest me, though, and I'm kicking off with an each-way bet on Goshhowposh, who has a long absence to overcome but has been given a chance by the handicapper.

Not seen since failing to take to fences on his sole chase outing back in October 2024, the son of Malinas was twice a winner over hurdles in 2023 and reverts back to the smaller obstacles off the same mark as when he was last successful.

Plenty has to be taken on trust fitness-wise, but there can be little doubt that Goshhowposh is back on a fair mark and it's encouraging that he has won when fresh previously, that coming at Exeter where he was returning from a 297-day break.

The Skelton team continue to bang in the winners and it won't be a surprise to many that I rate A Pai De Nom the biggest danger, though there's little mileage in his current price.

14:25 Warwick - Back Knappers Hill @ 3/14.00

Veterans' chases are some of my favourite betting mediums over jumps as we know plenty about the competitors and there are usually a few on the downgrade that can readily be ruled out.

That probably isn't the case here as most of the seven-strong field can be given some sort of chance but none appeals more than Knappers Hill, who makes his first start in one of these contests.

Paul Nicholls has his team in fine form at the moment, hitting at a 37% strike-rate in the last fortnight, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with Knappers Hill's comeback run when beaten only eight lengths by subsequent King George winner The Jukebox Man at Haydock in November.

The Grade 2-winning chaser had been off over two years prior to that return so could reasonably have been expected to step forward next time.

However, but seemed to fail for stamina upped to 3m for the first time in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby and will benefit from a return to 2m 4f here.

Despite being an 10-year-old, Knappers Hill is low mileage is chasing terms and I'm confident that he'll give us a good run for our money.

15:20 Newbury - Back Lanesborough E/W @ 15/28.50

The William Hill Hurdle is one of the handicap highlights of the winter and for a race as fiercely competitive as this one I thought that current favourite Let It Rain was short enough at 9/43.25.

Her form ties in closely with All In You and it's probably significant that both horses have the Timeform 'p' on their ratings, while a strong case can also be made for the Paul Nicholls-trained Tutti Quanti, but I wanted to look outside this trio and side with one who should relish the testing conditions.

Lanesborough has started out life in handicap very promisingly, building on several good efforts when easily winning at Warwick around a year ago before making light of an 8lb rise and a 295-day layoff to follow up in facile fashion at Doncaster in December.

The handicapper reacted accordingly, bumping him up a stone for the Lanzarote at Sandown last time, where I suspect it was more the quicker ground than his revised mark that saw him finish only fifth.

Timeform called the ground good that day and Lanesborough should appreciate the return to the much softer surface he's going to encounter here, worth noting that his Warwick success came in very deep ground.

He'll be sticking on when plenty are floundering and looks a solid each-way proposition.

Mark's Saturday Racing Multi

Goshhowposh & Lanesborough E/W double @ 144/1145.00

Betfair's Bet £10 Get £10 on Racing Multis continues this weekend ahead of the Cheltenham Festival, and I suspect we just need to keep it simple to give us what should be a great value bet at massive odds.

I've already made the cases for both Goshhowposh and Lanesborough, with both possessing very solid chances, so an each-way double at very attractive odds is a tempting proposition, particularly with the offer giving us the safety net of a free bet should it not land.
