It was betfair hurdle day at Newbury and while the feature race of the day attracted a strong field, it was a little disappointing to see such un-competitive Grade races. However, it was refreshing to see the seasonal returns of Native River and Altior and pleasing to see them both oblige - especially the former, who we'd backed at evens.

Ted Potter Jr stole the show on Saturday with a remarkable 62 .. especially as he finished bogey bogey. Final day woes struck our main hope, Dustin Johnson, who finished in a tie for 2nd. Paul Casey was our headline selection, and he finished just one place outside the payout money.

However, it was our outsider for the week, massive 150/1 shot Scott Stallings, who DID come home strong on the weekend to snag a clear 7th place, and a secure a full place payout for those getting the 7 places on offer.
