Newton Abbot Race 5 - Visit Kauto The King 6Th May Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

SOLDIEROFTHESTORM (1) has been thereabouts in recent starts building on a Hereford placing then gaining a decisive 3.5L success tackling the same track and trip last time. Progressive profile makes him hard to beat. TAPLEY (2) returned in terrific order this campaign with a Kempton placing preceding a narrow Stratford chase victory tackling 4500m. Major player again. SHELDON (4) continues to race consistently. Recent Newbury efforts including a close second contesting 4500m give him obvious claims. CLOTILDA (3) bounced back from a Wincanton fall when third at Taunton attempting 4600m beaten 6L. That form keeps her firmly in the mix.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last outing finished second of 11 runners at Newbury on March 20 over 4500m, 1.5 len behind King Califet carrying 72kg at $12. Before that led throughout and just faded finished third of 8 starters at Newbury on February 17 over 4700m, on slow going 8 len behind As The Fella Says carrying 68kg at $10. Sure to improve again. Will take some stopping.
