'A cracking each-way bet' - our panel pick their fancies for the Saturday action

It’s Betfair Hurdle day at Newbury? Who wins the big handicap?

Oli Bell, ITV broadcasterJpr One is talented and horses like him do well in this race. He's well regarded and looked impressive at Taunton last time, so I expect him to be thereabouts.

James Burn, Lambourn correspondent The market hasn't missed him but Broomfield Burg looks to have an outstanding chance. Novices have a decent recent record in the race, while the six-year-old fits other trends and will be comfortable with the conditions. A proper big-field handicap pace would help him settle and he possesses a touch of class, which was evident when he bolted up at Kempton last time.

Barry Orr, Betfair Although he's 1lb out of the handicap I think Lord Baddesley will outrun his odds of 50-1. He’s a course-and-distance winner who will appreciate a true-run race on ground that will suit. A cracking each-way bet with the Sportsbook paying four places.
