Today on Sky Sports Racing: Arkle favourite Lulamba tackles open company for first time on Super Saturday at Newbury

Lulamba, the Arkle favourite, is set to make his open company debut in the Grade Two William Hill Game Spirit Chase at Newbury on Super Saturday, with many believing he will take all the beating. The Nicky Henderson-trained novice chaser has been impressive, winning the Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown and dominating the Welsh Grand National.

However, Saint Segal, trained by Jane Williams, is looking to cause an upset as a six-time winner over fences. He was not disgraced when runner-up behind Thistle Ask at Kempton, but his form does hold up well after the Clarence House win.

The field also includes Master Chewy and Libberty Hunter, who have place claims, but may struggle with weight and jumping fluency respectively.

On the other side of the track, a clash between Haiti Couleurs and L'Homme Presse in the Grade Two William Hill Denman Chase is expected to be competitive. Haiti Couleurs has been fantastic over fences, winning five of his seven starts, while L'Homme Presse will concede 2lb to the favourite but cannot be ruled out.

The valuable William Hill Hurdle at Newbury promises to be a competitive feature with Let It Rain heading the market for Dan Skelton. The unbeaten mare has steadily improved over hurdles and caught the eye with her performance at Ascot in December. All In You, who ran out a convincing winner at Sandown, should appreciate the soft conditions as he heads up in grade.

Other notable races at Newbury include the William Hill Racing Epic Boosts Novices' Hurdle, the William Hill Each Way Extra Handicap Hurdle, and the William Hill Cheltenham Non-Runner Money Back Novices' Limited Handicap Chase.
 
๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’ก I'm loving this Super Saturday at Newbury! There are so many exciting matchups, but I think what's really got me hyped is Lulamba making his open company debut ๐ŸŽ‰. That guy's got some serious talent and has already dominated the Welsh Grand National! ๐Ÿ’ช Of course, Saint Segal's looking to cause an upset with six wins over fences under his belt ๐Ÿค”. Let's see if he can pull it off against the odds! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Master Chewy and Libberty Hunter might have a tough road ahead, but hey, being the underdogs can sometimes lead to surprises ๐ŸŒˆ!
 
omg u gotta check out this weekend's racing at newbury! Lulamba is defo the fave 2 win but i think St Segal has a good shot. hes been on fire lately & his form looks solid. and omg, Haiti Couleurs vs L'Homme Presse in the denman chase is gonna be EPIC! its gonna b such a close call ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿด
 
I'm loving Super Saturday at Newbury! ๐ŸŽ‰ It's gonna be a day to remember with so many exciting races lined up. I've got my eye on Lulamba, he's been looking unstoppable in his novice chases, but Saint Segal is definitely one to watch - six-time winner over fences? That's impressive! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ And the Denman Chase between Haiti Couleurs and L'Homme Presse could be a real nail-biter... will it be a French or European triumph? ๐Ÿค”

And let's not forget about Let It Rain in the William Hill Hurdle, she's been on fire lately and I think she'll take the title. All In You looks like a solid contender too, especially with the soft conditions at Newbury. Fingers crossed for some upsets though - we love a good surprise! ๐Ÿคž
 
I don't know, man... I still can't believe they're running horses at Newbury on Super Saturday like it's old times ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿด. It feels like we're back to the 90s when Jumping was all about the festivals and big races. I mean, who needs modern-day tech and sponsorship deals when you've got a good ol' fashioned horse racing event with some top-notch horses? Saint Segal's chances of causing an upset are on point though ๐Ÿคž, and I'm loving the underdog story. But Lulamba's form is solid, I reckon he'll take all the beating ๐Ÿ‘‘. The William Hill Hurdle looks like a great feature race, though - can't wait to see Let It Rain in action ๐Ÿ’จ!
 
I'm loving the hype around Lulamba, he's been on fire lately ๐Ÿคฉ! But I've got to say, Saint Segal is not someone to be underestimated either ๐Ÿ˜Ž. He's got a great record over fences and has been closing in on some top chasers. I think it's gonna be a real nail-biter between the two of them.

The form of Master Chewy and Libberty Hunter just doesn't quite add up, they've both got some decent wins but also some huge blanks ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And I'm not convinced that Haiti Couleurs is going to take on L'Homme Presse in the Denman Chase - both horses have got great form, it's a tough ask.

But you know what really caught my eye? Dan Skelton's mare Let It Rain... she's just been absolutely dominant over hurdles and I think she's got a real shot at taking this out ๐Ÿ†. All In You looks like a dark horse too - he's got some decent wins under his belt and the soft conditions will suit him perfectly ๐Ÿ’จ. Bring it on, Newbury!
 
omg i was just thinking about trying out that new plant-based milk at the health food store ๐Ÿฅ› u know how some people are super into those? anyway back to this horse racing thing... did you see that crazy video of a horse doing a triple jump or something? ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ˜‚ it's like, wow! and what's up with all these names for the horses? Lulamba, Saint Segal, Haiti Couleurs... sounds like a fantasy novel ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘ป
 
omg, so excited for Super Saturday ๐Ÿคฉ...can't wait to see how many horses break their legs or get eliminated in the first round ๐Ÿ™„ seriously though, Lulamba seems like a shoo-in, but Saint Segal's got some decent form going on...I mean, 6 wins over fences isn't bad ๐ŸŽ. Master Chewy and Libberty Hunter might need to step up their A-game if they wanna make an impact ๐Ÿ’ช. On the other side of the track, Haiti Couleurs vs L'Homme Presse is gonna be so interesting - can't wait for some upsets ๐Ÿค”. And omg, Dan Skelton's got this...Let It Rain is looking strong ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Fingers crossed no horse gets hurt and it's a fun day of racing! ๐Ÿ’•
 
I'm loving the drama that's building up for Super Saturday at Newbury! ๐Ÿคฉ Lulamba's dominance is definitely intriguing, but I think Saint Segal has a chance to pull off an upset. He may not have won with a huge margin like Thistle Ask did at Kempton, but his form does look solid, especially after that Clarence House win.

The field for the William Hill Denman Chase looks super competitive too! Haiti Couleurs is on fire over fences and I think L'Homme Presse could be a dark horse. He's getting a 2lb weight bump, but he's still got some magic up his sleeve.

I'm also excited to see Dan Skelton's Let It Rain in the William Hill Hurdle. She's been on fire this season and I think she'll love the soft conditions at Newbury. And All In You is looking like a great value bet for that race too! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’จ
 
I think its gonna be super competitive day at Newbury ๐Ÿ‡๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ! Lulamba's got a lot of hype around him, but I'm keeping an eye on Saint Segal - he's been doing some great work and I think he can give the favourite a run for his money ๐Ÿด. The 6-time winner over fences is definitely one to watch! ๐Ÿ’ก On the other side of the track, Master Chewy and Libberty Hunter might be a bit more up against it, but hey, you never know what can happen in racing right? ๐Ÿ˜ And I'm curious about that clash between Haiti Couleurs and L'Homme Presse - both horses have been on fire! ๐Ÿ”ฅ It's gonna be an exciting day for the fans! ๐ŸŽ‰
 
just saw that Lulamba's gonna make his debut at Newbury ๐Ÿด... think he's got a good shot, been impressing in his races but Saint Segal is definitely giving him a run for his money ๐Ÿ’ช. not sure about the other horses though, Master Chewy seems like an underdog ๐Ÿค”. what's with all these Willie Hill racing events tho? feel like they're taking over everything ๐Ÿ“บ
 
Omg u guys I'm so stoked to see these horses gettin ready for Super Saturday at Newbury! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’จ Lulamba's been on fire, winin that Henry VIII Novices' Chase and dominatin the Welsh Grand National. But Saint Segal's gotta be a dark horse (no pun intended lol) - he's got some sick form and can cause an upset for sure! ๐Ÿ˜

I love how competitive all these races are lookin. The Denman Chase is gonna be a real nail-biter, and Let It Rain's been on fire over hurdles already ๐ŸŒช๏ธ. And Master Chewy & Libberty Hunter might not have the most ideal conditions, but they've got some great potential if they can get it together ๐Ÿ’ช.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for all these talented horses and riders! They're gonna bring the heat on Super Saturday ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
man... have you seen that video of the new pizza place in town? ๐Ÿ• they have this crazy spicy sauce that's actually kinda addictive lol i tried it with a salad and it was like a flavor bomb went off my taste buds were doing the happy dance but then i started sweating and wondering if i made a mistake ๐Ÿ˜‚ anyway, back to racing... how many times can you get lucky before you start thinking it's just luck? is there such a thing as a "racing genius" or are they all just superstitious geniuses like me ๐Ÿคฃ
 
So Lulamba's going to be a superstar or what ๐Ÿ™„? Like, one win at Sandown doesn't exactly scream " Arkle favourite" to me. And Saint Segal's just waiting for his big upset... meanwhile, I'll be over here cheering on the also-rans ๐Ÿ˜’. I mean, who needs form when you've got a good ol' fashioned confidence boost from a trainer? ๐Ÿ’ช. And let's not forget Master Chewy and Libberty Hunter - they're like the nice cousins of racing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. At least Haiti Couleurs is being competitive without relying on luck... but hey, L'Homme Presse can't even get any weight cut for him ๐Ÿ˜‚.
