Newcastle Race 4 - Get Raceday Ready Novices' Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

HALPHA SOLEIL (5) may avenge a narrow last-time-out defeat. Only beaten a neck in a 4000m Hexham Class Five handicap chase 152 days ago and still lightly raced in low-grade handicaps appears open to further development. LOOKING SPLENDID (2) was well fancied when 10.5L third in a 4300m Kelso Class Four handicap chase during May. Off a 165-day break since and rates a big player on best form. Likely to be popular in the market once again. NICE ONE ERIC (1) scored two outings back attempting a 3200m Southwell maiden hurdle. Poor latest run but well positioned to bounce back. ROSIE BALOO (3) holds solid form and deserves a market check off a 235-day absence.
