Newbury Race 1 - J M Finn 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)

REGENT'S STROLL (3) Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd beaten by just over 6L last time in a chase at Newbury. Should muster plenty of early toe. Harry Cobden has been successful before. Hard to beat and well in this. LUCKY PLACE (2) Claimed late when 3rd beaten by 5L last run in a chase at Ascot and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Nico De Boinville rates highly. One of the major players. JIG'S FORGE (1) Big effort to finish 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time in a chase at Cheltenham. Worth some thought.
