And Newbury will be hosting two very popular races.

They are the G3 Geoffrey Freer and the G2 Hungerford.  And we trust there will be plenty of water on hand both for the horses and the humans.  Spare a thought for the poor jockeys who have to shed water and run a serious risk of dehydration with the heat.

The Geoffrey Freer over 2200m only has 5 runners and on paper it looks to be between Zaccariah with Tom Marquand riding for the Meades and his wife on Outbox for Archie Watson.

The Hungerford is over 1400m and has at least got 10 starters.  May be a good day for Tom Marquand as he's on Tiber Flow in this for William Haggas and they are on3/1.  Chindit and Pogo are on 4/1 so we may have a race.
