Kicking things off with the toast of our predictions, Ryder's Rock is set to make a splash in the Novices' Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot, starting at a breezy 15:18. At 7 years old, this mare might just have the experience and gusto needed to rule the roost. Trained by J Tizzard and piloted by Freddie Gingell, she's ticking quite a few boxes right off the bat. Despite a patchy track record over the last 180 days showing no wins from 2 starts, she's had 16 attempts over the last couple of years with a win in there - a modest record but with potential sparks. The live price of 7.5 might not scream 'sure thing', but it hovers in that sweet 'value' zone where fortune could favour the brave (or the betting). Moving along to Tellairsue, placed at a snug second favorite with a live price of 4.5, there's potential here too. Another 7-year-old, this gelding is under the direction of D G Bridgwater with Caoilin Quinn in the saddle. However, his recent outings leave a bit more to be desired; no wins across 4 attempts in the last 180 days does make you think twice. With a return from a relatively small number of races, his fresher legs may offer some advantage, but the stats aren't singing victories just yet. Then there's Sevenofus, stepping in with lengthy odds of 12, making her the underdog story you might root for in a whimsical bet. At 9 years of age and displaying an uneventful series of runs (no wins in the past 180 and 720 days), she might need more than just good luck. Coupled with M G Nolan in the stirrups and guided by C J Gray, their combined recent form doesn't necessarily spell success, but in the wild world of racing, stranger things have indeed happened. As we draw our attention back to the front runner - Ryder's Rock, her combination with Freddie Gingell and trainer J Tizzard does bring some allure to her middle-of-the-road pricing. The stats might not be shouting her name from the rooftops, but in a field where consistency is as elusive as a mischievous gremlin, she might just have what it takes to nose ahead. So, grab your lucky four-leaf clover and maybe a cheeky wager on Ryder's Rock, and may your bets be as fortunate as they are fun. Always remember to gamble responsibly!
