Newton Abbot Race 3

Attheraces.com Handicap Hurdle

Stake: $21,417

VOCITO (1) resumed after a three month freshen delivering a 6L success in a Stratford-on-Avon hurdle. Can use race fitness to advantage. Consider. MAJOR FORTUNE (4) was denied a fourth straight success at the back end of most recent campaign when second at Ayr. Showed excellent form. Returns with a strong chance. PIRATES' TALE (6) closed off previous preparation finishing second in these conditions. Interesting off current mark. ROYAL MER (3) rates each way as a multiple winner last term.
