Newton Abbot Race 2 - St Austell Brewery Handicap Chase
BEAT BOX (3) bids for a hat-trick. Reappeared for a new yard opening his chase account under Harry Skelton at Market Rasen last month and followed-up nine-days ago with a comfortable 2L course and distance success. Major player racing third-up. MAGISTRATO (2) made all two-runs ago recording a 5L triumph tackling track and trip prior to finding the frame in a similar event at Worcester. Remains a strong contender and likely to be in the mix. TOP SPEED (1) has struggled since winning a Down Royal maiden last year. Looks well held unless market speaks in his favour.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last at Bangor-On-Dee 5yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on June 8 over 3500m, 51 len behind Breizh River carrying 74kg at $21. Second-up finished third in a small field at Uttoxeter 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on July 9 over 4000m, on slow going 20 len behind Forcing Bull carrying 73.5kg at $10. Might find this a bit too tough.
