Stratford Avon Race 4 - Quinnbet Novices' Limited Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

Small field for this novices limited handicap chase but local trainer Dan Skelton saddles KRAK (3) who gets some weight relief from his two rivals and despite not showing a huge amount on both outings for this yard warrants respect and could easily get back on track. SAMUEL SPADE (2) won well at Worcester during June attempting a similar event to this. Not disgraced in two better contests at Uttoxeter since and will find this a good opportunity. Won't be far away. DUNKERQUE (1) comes from a yard in flying form. Made a promising start to his steeplechase career. Tough ask off top weight but hard to fault.

Impressive in recent runs. Comes off a 31 day let-up. Last start made ground from midfield; finished second in a small field at Cartmel on July 20 over 3500m, 5 len behind Passing Diamond carrying 74.5kg at $4. Race before won by 4.5 len Newton Abbot on June 3 over 4200m defeating Doc Mccoy with 77kg at $2 in a steeplechase. Impressed last start. Cannot be underestimated.
