Newbury Race 1 - Cheltenham Festival Specials Live At Betvictor 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)
SIXMILEBRIDGE (2) is the pick of the chasing debutants in this duo. Last seen finishing a slightly disappointing ninth in the G1 Baring Bingham Novice's Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Picked up a hat-trick of wins prior including scoring by 8.5L in the Classic Novice's Hurdle at Cheltenham. Does not hold much jumps pedigree however is by a sire that has produced winners in this discipline. Preferred. JOSH THE BOSS (1) makes first start over fences after running eighth in the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. This half-brother to a hurdling G2 winner with no chasers in the immediate breeding. Could upset.
