4.55pm Newton Abbot Tips & Betting Preview 09/05/2018

LAMB OR COD may just have been found the perfect opening by trainer Phillips Hobbs. The course and distance winner is now 8lbs below his last winning mark, while he returned to form with a pleasing second before being give a rest in January. In a race lacking depth, the bottom weight is fancied to go well at a decent price. Dell’Arca is likely to be popular in the betting, though it wouldn’t be anything new if he failed to deliver the goods. Drumlee Sunset also merits respect as he tackles this longer trip for the first time.
