Newton Abbot Race 4 - Welcoming Newton Abbot Business Club Members Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

COBBLER'S BOY (2) may appreciate this drop in class after a 5L defeat when fourth at Ascot end of March. Worth giving another chance racing for a stable who haven't been out of form for quite some time. LIGHTNING FLASH (1) remains unexposed with fences after just five attempts. Tailed off at Doncaster in March having not jumped well and will need to be better here. NORTHERN AIR (5) ran with credit making stable debut here Easter Saturday. Revisits fences and cannot be taken lightly. GOWER PRINCE (4) improved for the switch to this yard at Market Rasen last month. Could easily go one place better.

Second-up today. Freshened for 54 days. First-up after three months ran last in a small field at Doncaster on March 13 over 3800m, 46 len behind Cuban Court with 71.5kg at $2.80. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 4 len Chepstow on October 11 over 3200m defeating Pure Carbon carrying 72kg at $2.20 in a steeplechase. Nice chance with added fitness.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after nine months finished second of 8 starters at Market Rasen on April 5 over 3400m, 0.8 len behind Kally Des Bruyeres with 75.5kg at $12. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Ffos Las on May 6 over 3200m. Key runner who is expected to feature again.
