Newbury Race 2 - Focus Ltd Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (For The Brown Chamberlin Trophy) (GBB Race)
HE KNOWS BETTER (4) Ran on strongly to win last run in a chase at Southwell. Tracking very well this campaign. Will give a big sight. CAPTAIN BELLAMY (1) Came in 6th last run in a chase at Newbury. Has the potential to improve sharply. Won't be far away during the run. Harry Cobden is a key engagement. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. FRESH KICKS (3) Gave a strong sight when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Ludlow and getting better in recent performances. Will be positive in the run early. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. LYLIAN (5) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time in a chase at Doncaster. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Not out of this.

Was $5.50 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run in a hurdle at Chepstow. Ben Jones and Kayley Woollacott are usually competitive together. Will be motoring home late. Will need everything to go right.

Claimed late when 2nd beaten by 4 1/2L last run in a hurdle at Ludlow and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should jump out and bowl along. Right in the mix.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run in a chase at Southwell. Very competitive this preparation. Should go close.
