TODAY'S LUCKY 15

SAM BROWN 1.20 Newbury 4/1 – SAM BROWN has shown he retains plenty of ability this season, finishing second in the Veterans' Final at Market Rasen before a respectable fourth in a Grade 2 here last time. With those efforts under his belt, he looks poised to get back to winning ways.

EPINEPHRINE 1.55 Newbury 13/8 – EPINEPHRINE took a big step forward when drawing clear to win a well-run race at Kempton last time. A 9 lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him from going in again, given how strong he looked at the finish.

MR BRAMLEY 2.20 Kelso 7/2 – MR BRAMLEY has taken well to hurdling and justified favouritism when landing a big-field handicap at Wetherby last time. With further improvement likely, he’s expected to go close again.

CALCUTTA DREAM 6.15 Newcastle 11/4 – CALCUTTA DREAM built on a promising effort to return to winning ways at Southwell six weeks ago. Now back in handicap company and still on a workable mark, he has strong claims of following up.

🏇TODAY'S LITTLE BEAUTY

SAINT SEGAL 3:45 Newbury 13/2 each way – SAINT SEGAL has been a horse that pundits had been putting up in the pasty who failed to live up to his reputation. He consistently ran well, and people felt that next time would be the charm to the point many stopped following him, to be fair I was never a fan in the past. The key to him seems to have been the step up in trip form 2-miles to 2m4f this season. On his first try at the trip at Chepstow last October he was ahead of Il Ridoto when his jumping was less than fluent, but he stayed on into 4th.

Connections tried again here in November, but he was hampered at the start and lost lengths and while he may not have caught the winner Le Patron, he would have finished closer. He then recorded a C&D win in a Class 3 race by 11 lengths cosily before coming 2nd to the well handicapped and well supported Kalooki Kid at Musselburgh LTO. If he settles, he should be thereabouts again and given he battles I think he could go in here when others are looking at bigger pots later in the season.
