Newbury’s jump racing season ends with a two-day meeting, starting today at 2pm.

The six races include the £15,000 Be Wiser Insurance Handicap Hurdle (4.10pm, 20 entries) over an extended two miles. The weights are headed on 11st 12lb by talented novice Theclockisticking (Stuart Edmunds).

The highlight of Saturday’s seven-race card (first race 2.05pm) is the £40,000 EBF & TBA Mares’ National Hunt Novices’ Hurdle Finale (3.15pm) over an extended two and a half miles.

The 21 entries are topped by the Emma Lavelle-trained Woolstone One, winner of a Listed race at Warwick on her latest start, and Midnight Tune (Anthony Honeyball), who made it three wins from her last four starts in the Jane Seymour Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown on February 16.

The Queen’s colours could be sported by Sunshade. The Nicky Henderson-trained home-bred won her first three starts under Rules, including two hurdle races, in good style before finishing third behind Maria’s Benefit in a Listed mares’ hurdle at Taunton in December.

Jamie Snowden has two interesting contenders in Kalahari Queen and Lostnfound.

Kalahari Queen defeated Lady Of Lamanver (Harry Fry) by eight lengths in a handicap hurdle at Exeter on February 23, while Lostnfound beat Woolstone One at Uttoxeter in November and has finished runner-up twice since in similar races under the penalty.

The Lambourn trainer said: “Kalahari Queen is in great form. She came out of Exeter really well, having been pretty impressive that day.

“Two and a half miles around Newbury on testing ground looks the next obvious stepping stone and we are looking forward to running her again.

“Lostnfound is owned by a breeder who is trying to get a little bit of black type, so if we can run, we will. She ran a good race the last day up at Sedgefield. She won what turned out to be quite a good race at Uttoxeter and has been second with the penalty twice. She is certainly good enough to win races.”

City Dreamer (Alan King) is one of 16 entries for the £40,000 Be Wiser Juvenile Handicap Hurdle over just shy of two miles and three furlongs.
