Newsboy's ITV4 selections for Chester and Huntingdon plus tips from Thursday's other meetings

ABSURDE is fancied to land his connections another big prize by landing the Group 3 Ladbrokes Big-Value You Can Bet On Ormonde Stakes (3.05) at Chester on Thursday.

’ seven-year-old has been a money spinner on the Flat and over hurdles for his connections and proved his suitability for the Roodee when landing the Listed Chester Stakes last August.

Absurde showed he is still at the top of his game with a comprehensive victory in the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton last month and his cause here is helped by the fact that market rivals Illinois and Al Qareem have to shoulder penalties.

After making a winning debut at Newmarket’s Craven meeting last month, HIGH STOCK looks capable of stepping up to Listed level for the Boodles Raindance Dee Stakes (2.35).

The Andrew Balding-saddled son of Dubawi justified market support to land the Wood Ditton Stakes over the Rowley Mile and should be suited by the step up to 10 furlongs.
