Newton Abbot Race 3 - John Price Memorial Chase Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)
CENTARA (1) opened his chasing account in style with a resounding 23L Hereford triumph in May and has since recorded a hat-trick over course and distance. Still improving and hard to oppose in current form. BALLYWILLIAM BOY (2) has finished in the money three times from six chase starts. Leading claims off a workable mark. GOT GREY (3) recorded a ready 2L victory on chasing bow at Worcester last month. Danger. BREAKING COVER (5) is a hurdles winner here and certainly not out of it tackling the larger obstacles.

Useful mare. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last outing finished third in a small field at Stratford-On-Avon on July 20 over 3900m, 22 len behind The Dream Goes On carrying 77kg at $2.30. Before that favourite; won by 8 len Bangor-On-Dee on June 21 over 4100m defeating Lost Connections with 76kg at $3 in a steeplechase. Go close. Ratings riser.

Useful gelding. Last run came from midfield; finished third in a small field at this track on August 21 over 3370m, 6 len behind Hope Rising carrying 73.5kg at $4.50. Run before won by a nose Uttoxeter on July 25 over 3200m defeating Break Point with 74kg at $3.80 in a hurdle. Gets a chance to win. Take seriously.
