can win the Betfair Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (3.35pm) at Newbury on Saturday afternoon.

Nigel Twison-Davies’ five-year-old can come out on top in the prestigious Grade Three feature handicap at the Berkshire track.

As ever with the two-mile contest, there are plenty in with chances of victory including last year’s winner , the Gary Moore-trained duo andand Harry Fry’s .

But Twiston-Davies has a good record in the race, winning three times with Splash Of Ginge (2014), Ballyandy (2017) and Al Dancer (2019).

I Like To Move It has a similar progressive profile to those, having won three of his four starts over hurdles this season.

His only defeat came when last of five behind one of the favourites for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, Jonbon, at Ascot last time.

Although this is different test in a much bigger field he is still improving and can resume his progress with another victory and potentially at least set up another crack at Jonbon et al in the Supreme at Prestbury Park next month.

It could be a profitable afternoon for trainer Paul Nicholls at Newbury highlighted by in the Grade Two Betfair Denman Chase (GBB Race) (2.25pm).

The dual King George VI Chase hero missed out on a hat-trick at Kempton over Christmas going down by nine lengths to Willie Mullins’ Tornado Flyer.

Despite now being a 10-year-old that effort proved he is no back number and he can get the better of Venetia
