The Punt Acca: Charlie Huggins' three horse racing tips at Doncaster and Newbury on Saturday
Three horses to include in a treble on Saturday . . .
Jubilee Alpha (12.07 Newbury)
Harry Cobden and Paul Nicholls enjoyed a solid start to Newbury's Coral Gold Cup meeting with two winners and a second on Friday. The pair could get off to the perfect start at the Berkshire venue on Saturday when Jubilee Alpha makes her hurdling debut. The fact that Nicholls pitches her straight into Listed company without a run over hurdles suggests that the five-year-old has schooled well at home. She won a Wincanton bumper before finishing second of 16 in a Grade 2 at the Grand National meeting. Jubilee Alpha beat Listentoyourheart by three lengths at Aintree and meets that rival on 3lb better terms here, so she should confirm the form. Nicholls' last winner of this race, Posh Trish, also contested that same Aintree race before landing this in 2018.
Bluey (12.52 Doncaster)
Beat Either Way, who has won her only start over hurdles for Nicky Henderson, by 11 and a half lengths when winning a Carrigarostig point-to-point before being sold for £27,000. Bluey made a successful stable debut for Emma Lavelle in a Plumpton bumper and the runner-up has since filled the same spot in a 12-runner event, so the form looks okay. The five-year-old receives 5lb from likely favourite Dameofthecotswolds due to the claim of Joe Anderson, who won on the daughter of Affinisea last time and may repeat the feat on her hurdling debut here, providing she does not need the run after 243 days off the track.
Broadway Boy (3.00 Newbury)
Rated only 2lb higher than when beating subsequent Ryanair Chase winner Protektorat at this 3m2f trip at Cheltenham in November last year. He has a bit to find with Senior Chief on their meeting last month but Henry de Bromhead likes to target that particular Cheltenham handicap and only Total Recall, for Willie Mullins in 2017, has won this race for Ireland since 1980. Broadway Boy meets Senior Chief on 10lb better terms and should improve for his first start since running in the Mildmay Novices' Chase in April. He could emulate the last six-year-old to land the Coral Gold Cup, Native River, who ran in that Aintree Grade 1 prior to winning this race in 2016.
