Rivals lining up to stop Feud in Newton Abbot feature race

Irish-trained Feud carries top weight for this £30,000 contest and comes here in good form, having gone down by just a neck to Mercury Mission at Wexford last time. He will need to be in top form to give weight to all his rivals which include My Chiquita, who was let down by her jumping when runner-up at Worcester, and dual course winner Al Sayah.

STABLES and studs up and down the country have been opening their doors for National Racehorse Week and another big crowd is expected at Newton Abbot today when the Class 2 Aubrey Loze Memorial Handicap Hurdle is the feature on a six-race card.

Queens Venture, trained by Dan Skelton, has seen a 9lb rise in her rating for a wide-margin win at Stratford last month and right at the bottom of the weights is Ffos Las winner Balkardy who shouldn’t be far away.
