Chepstow Race 5 - Lysaght Cup Novices' Limited Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

DESERTMORE NEWS (1) saluted twice in novice hurdle events last season. Made an encouraging transition to chasing when 8L third finishing behind a potentially smart rival at Ffos Las (3200m) three weeks ago. May get the job done now. RULA BULA (3) lost her way a little last campaign however returned with an excellent 1.75L second on chase debut at Uttoxeter (3200m) latest. Should provide the biggest threat. TOUR OVALIE (5) was third making reappearance at Worcester (3300m) last month. Often comes good after a run or two. Respect. INSIDE MAN (4) wasn't without support when last of four first up (3300m) five weeks ago. Not ruled out.

Second-up today. Freshened for 37 days. First-up after five months ran last in a small field at Newton Abbot on September 28 over 3200m, 10 len behind Gore Point with 72kg at $3.30. Previously second-up finished fourth in a small field at this track on April 24 over 3200m, 9 len behind The Kemble Brewery with 73kg at $8.50. Fitter for run. Shapes nicely on latest run and among the hopes again here.

Racing second-up today. First-up after five months finished third in a small field at Worcester on October 12 over 3200m, 5 len behind Kykorock with 74.5kg at $7.50. Previously second-up finished seventh of 11 runners at Exeter on November 7 over 3700m, 27 len behind Apples Moon carrying 77kg at $13. Definite chance. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
