Newbury Race 2 - Focus Ltd Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (For The Brown Chamberlin Trophy) (GBB Race)

FRESH KICKS (3) begins his chasing career representing top connections. Second beaten 4.5L on latest run attempting a Ludlow hurdle. Likes to make the running and could take some pegging back. HE KNOWS BETTER (4) conversely brings plenty of chasing experience already. Scored at Southwell (4100m) getting the best of the argument on the run-in and is a chance to follow up. CAPTAIN BELLAMY (1) missed narrowly over course and distance in December. Held an official excuse for a reversal since and is a regular to the venue which could be an asset. EL CAPITAINE (2) is taking on decent company this season. Needs a return to his best however is very capable.

Freshened for 41 days. Last start came from midfield; finished sixth of 10 runners at this track on February 7 over 4700m, on rain affected going; 47 len behind Holloway Queen carrying 67kg at $4.30. Before that raced on the pace then finished second of 8 starters at this track on December 29 over 4500m, a nose behind Calimystic with 67.5kg at $3.30. Sure to improve again. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Impressive in recent runs. Resumes off a 30 day letup. Last outing finished second of 8 starters at Ludlow on February 18 over 4260m, slow track; 4.5 len behind Manigod with 76kg at $2.30. Start before made ground from midfield; finished fourth of 9 runners at Windsor on January 18 over 4000m, slow track; 8 len behind Scorpio Rising carrying 73.5kg at $11. Capable of better showing. Ideally placed for a return to winning form.

Useful type. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last run favourite; tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len Southwell on February 18 over 4100m on rain affected going defeating William Cody with 72.5kg at $2.10 in a steeplechase. The run before sat on speed throughout then finished second of 8 runners at Warwick on January 23 over 5100m, 3 len behind House Of Habsburg carrying 76.5kg at $3.80. Racing well. Major player again.
