Chepstow Race 4 - Fitzdares Telephone Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

BOOSTER BOB (1) did well Boxing Day finishing 1.25L second among similar chase company over 3200m at Aintree. The seven-year-old won making chase debut three starts ago at Ffos Las. Serious player. CABHFUILFUNGI (3) improved four weeks back scoring by an easy 33L tackling the trip on deep ground at Southwell. Big chance. IDY WOOD (2) posted a smart 5L runner-up effort in this chase grade attempting 4200m at Doncaster. Holds claims. ROYAL JEWEL (4) looks interesting.
