Stratford Avon Race 2 - Bet With On Course Bookmakers Novices' Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

DEPALMA (3) did well on all three starts for this stable including a win at Newton Abbot during September. Continues to make good strides forward and should have a major role to play. SENATOR (4) remains unexposed. Tackles fences for the first time having provided just four hurdle starts. Interesting contender representing a yard set for a big season. KILWORTH (1) is another one on chase debut after disappointing contesting a small field event at Chepstow. Better can be expected. IGNORE THE DOOR (2) wears a new combination of a tongue strap and cheekpieces and deserves a market check returning to action.

When resuming last campaign 3 of 8 starters at Kempton Park January 10 over 3200m, 11 len behind Precious Man carrying 70kg at $12. Racing well but this looks a tougher test.
