Sportego’s Trevor Keane tests his racing knowledge at Newbury

Trevor Keane has become the latest industry expert to take the Tipster Challenge. The Founder of Sportego, a B2B and B2C fantasy sports provider, has provided tips for the seven races at Newbury.

This week, Sportego also launched the inaugural Sportego Celtic eSports League, which matches top gamers to professional football clubs from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Keane will be going up against Stephen Harris from bettingexpert, who sits in ninth place in the Tipster Challenge table, and the experts from Timeform, who collected 9.00 points from last week’s meeting at Leicester. Alan Alger, PR Manager at Betway, continues to lead the way with his 11.41-point haul at Fontwell.

bettingexpert: Light Of Air

Hails from the Moore yard that has a strong hand in this division and it looks a clue that he makes his hurdling debut at this grade one track.

Timeform: Cosmeapolitan

Has the potential to rank highly among this season’s juvenile hurdlers and can get off to a winning start.

Sportego: Fixed Rate

Two wins from six starts.

bettingexpert: High Bridge

Had some top-class form in bumpers for John Ferguson and can make a winning start for Ben Pauling.

Timeform: High Bridge

High Bridge was one of the best bumper performers of last season and is selected to make a winning start over hurdles for new trainer Ben Pauling.

Sportego: What About Carlo

A smart handicapper choice.

bettingexpert: Lessons In Milan

Showed promise in three runs over fences last season and begins here at Newbury from a very attractive handicap mark.

Timeform: Warriors Tale

Has posted very good placed efforts in similarly competitive affairs on his 2 previous visits here and gets the nod, but there are plenty of possible dangers.

Sportego: Beware The Bear

Beat Singlefarmpayment at Ascot last time out.

bettingexpert: Drumacoo

Comes from a red hot stable and will find this a lot easier than the Grade two he contested on his final start last season.

Timeform: Camping Ground

The class act here so should prove tough to beat with his reappearance under his belt.

Sportego: Drumacoo

Did well on his chasing debut at Huntingdon last January and will be an unknown quantity. First run since February.

bettingexpert: After Hours

Shaped like a winner waiting to happen last time and has been found a great opening here at Newbury.

Timeform: After Hours

Stepped up on his chase debut form when finding only a fellow improver too strong at Exeter recently, and given he remains relatively low-mileage, he could be worth chancing to build on that now.

Sportego: Smoking Jacket

Always wanted one, so maybe this horse will give me the funds to buy one.

bettingexpert: Bags Groove

Bumped into Jenkins when punted for his hurdling debut and that form is already working out well.

Timeform: Bags Groove

Another competitive renewal of a hot novice hurdle with a rich history, and Bags Groove can add his name to the list of classy winners after a highly promising debut here last month.

Sportego: Tintern Theatre

A win and a third place from two hurdle starts. Won in Ludlow last month.

bettingexpert: Cap Soleil

Can make a winning debut against rivals who have not achieved much.

Timeform: Cap Soleil

An interesting runner for a yard going extremely well at the minute, so is preferred to fellow newcomer Rosie Lea before market clues.

Sportego: Cap Soleil

Comes from good pedigree.
