We're tipping Caballo Grande in the 16:55 at Newbury — a Flat race with 15 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 31-1 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Michael Bell has been in fine form and teams up with Hector Crouch, a combination that demands respect.

These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.
