Goodwood Race 2 - Virgin Bet / British Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
WAR CHEST (3) finished top two both career outings including runner-up over 1200m at Newbury most recently. Knocking on the door and looks a leading contender. BRYNMAIR GOLD (4) made an encouraging start at Kempton Park tackling 1200m last time. Eventually beaten by just a neck and that experience should prove valuable. May go close. CORNICHON (1) finished fourth on his Newbury debut trying 1200m beaten 8L. Entitled to improve for the outing. Might make his presence felt. BINFLUENCER (6) was fifth providing his only 1000m attempt at Bath earlier this season beaten 4.5L. There is plenty of room for progress.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, 3rd of 7 at Ascot on September 4 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Nobelos with 58kg at $67. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 15 at Newbury on September 18 over 1200m, 5 len behind Oakford with 60.5kg at $8. Close to a win and another bold showing is expected.

At debut, came from the tail of the field 2nd of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on September 30 over 1200m, neck behind Marhaba Ya Tayib with 57.5kg at $17. Will derive great benefit from that experience and looks a great chance to break through.
