Newbury Tip: Empire Levant
Excellent record at the track and finished 6 lengths behind a Champion Hurdle contender on his last start.
After 316 days away from the track, Zarkandar might need the race. Even if he doesn’t turn out to be the class act everyone thinks, we’ve still got four each-way places to play with in the 1.15 Newbury.
Empire Levant is Paul Nicholls’s second string for jockey bookings but don’t be surprised if he causes an upset. On his last run he was the only horse to get anywhere near Rock On Ruby at Newbury back in November. That was his second run in two days earning him a well-deserved 3-month break in his race schedule.
In three races at Newbury, Empire Levant has finished 312. With such good course form it doesn’t take a genius to earmark this valuable handicap as his target. At 16/1 (Bet365) back him each way with ¼ odds for a top five finish.
