13:25 Newbury — Race Preview & Tips

Our star selection for the 13:25 at Newbury on Good ground is Catching The Moon. This impressive three-year-old, trained by Richard & Peter Fahey, arrives in truly exceptional form, reflected in its short 1/10 odds.

Having emphatically won last time out, Catching The Moon is clearly a horse in peak condition and brimming with confidence. Its form figures of 211- highlight remarkable consistency, placing in all three career starts, with two dominant victories already secured. As a lightly raced individual, it remains largely unexposed, showing immense scope for further improvement. This isn't merely a horse in good form; its upward trajectory suggests it will be incredibly difficult to oppose in this contest, making it our firm banker.

While the win price offers little value, Catching The Moon is expected to deliver. For those seeking an each-way alternative, look to Ellusive Butterfly, who could outrun her odds for a place.
