The Newbury data that actually repeats
Before you back anything at Newbury, three numbers matter — and they come from 2,235 Newbury races in our settled-results database, not a pundit's hunch.
How often the favourite wins at Newbury
The SP favourite has won 32.2% of races at Newbury across 2,233 races. That is roughly the market-wide average — meaning the favourite still loses around two races in three here. Blind favourite-backing is not a plan at Newbury.

How our Newbury tips are made
This isn't a tipster's opinion. The same engine that measures the records above scores every runner at Newbury each morning — form, class, the draw, the going, trainer and jockey signals across 11 years of UK & Irish results — and publishes a rated pick for every race before the off. Win or lose, every selection is logged on our public track record (verified 34.8% on max-bet selections).
