Newton Abbot Race 6 - Sky Sports Racing Novices' Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

FAIRYE FORTH (1) tackles fences after making the frame on all three hurdle starts including a victory delivering his final outing at Ffos Las during May. Right up in trip and open to further improvement. Major player. MASK OF ZORRO (3) disappointed when going for a fifth straight win at Bangor in February and the yard maintains scintillating form. Hard to beat. KICK UP A STORM (2) was well backed but pulled up lame here in May last year. Given time to recover and is one to consider. WOODYTHEWOODPECKER (6) remains a maiden after eleven attempts under rules and looks to have a good chance off a break. Not dismissed.

When resuming last campaign finished fifth of 7 runners at Hereford on November 11 over 4300m, 29 len behind On The Go carrying 74kg at $29. This looks a nice race to kick off.
