Cheltenham runners at Newton Abbot

the intermediate chase over 2 3/4 miles at 16.55 CET at Newton Abbot is the most interesting race today, with all 5 runners having been out at the Cheltenham Festival. Taquin Du Seuil (Jonjo O´Neill/ Richie McLernon) did best there, winning the big novice chase with Double Ross (Nigel Twiston-Davies/ Jamie Moore) third and Wonderful Charm (Paul Nicholls/ Sam Twiston-Davies) fifth. Nicholls´´second runner Black Thunder (Nick Scholfield) fell in the other novice chase, while Colour Squadron (Philip Hobbs/ Tony McCoy) was third in the Byrne Group Plate. It is not at the time of writing clear whether AP will be able to ride after his fall yesterday, but Colour Squadron- despite the fact that he has not won for almost 3 years- is in any case our selection, as he receives a masssive weight allowance from the other runners.
