Newsboy’s racing selections from four ITV4 meetings on Monday

Newsboy fancies an Olly Murphy handicap hurdler to deliver a third win on the bounce at Newbury and he expects Paul Nicholls to score Grade 1 glory in the feature Coral Challow Novices’ Hurdle

SCORPIO RISING (2.22, nap) can raise his game further in the Join Coral ‘Bet 10 Get 50’ Handicap Hurdle at Newbury.

Following wins at Perth and Lingfield this autumn Olly Murphy’s five-year-old is taken to defy an 8lb rise with Sean Bowen on board.

NO DRAMA THIS END (3.00) should dominate the Grade 1 Coral Challow Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury.

Sent directly to Grade 2 novice hurdle events this term by Paul Nicholls, this exciting novice scored at Cheltenham in November and Sandown 24 days ago.

ONLY THE BOLD (1.50) bounced back to form in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter and a Sandown third after a lay-off showed he is still on the right track.

GUARD THE MOON (3.35, nb) won on his chasing debut in style at Aintree 23 days ago.

Willie Mullins sends Grade 1 winner SPINDLEBERRY (2.10) and Danny Mullins to Doncaster and the partnership will be hard to beat, while STONE’S THROW (2.45) can follow up after a career-best at Southwell 27 days ago.

At Kelso, a 7lb rise is unlikely to stop BARATABLET (3.15) and LOSSIEMOUTH (2.32) is the class of the field in the December Hurdle at Leopardstown.
