14:00 Newton Abbot Tips — Saturday 4th April 2026

Our focus for the 14:00 at Newton Abbot is firmly on Dan Skelton’s runner, **Dutch Corner**. This horse looks an absolute standout in this Hurdle contest on what should be ideal Good ground. Under the guidance of Tristan Durrell, this unexposed gelding brings a highly consistent profile into the race, making him extremely difficult to oppose.

The key trend here screams reliability: Dutch Corner has been placed in all of his last four starts, reflected in that impressive 3-332 form line. While he's yet to get his head in front, that level of consistency indicates a horse that is always running to a good standard and learning with every outing. He’s bumped into some decent sorts in those races, and this looks a prime opportunity to finally open his account.

Yes, the odds of 1/10 are short, but they are fully justified given his superior form and the clear lack of credible dangers in the field. He really should be dominating this. For those looking at the minor honours, **Limier Darthel** could offer a touch of value for each-way players if he steps forward on previous efforts. However, all roads point to a dominant performance from our principal selection.
