Newton Abbot Race 3 - Par Inn Novices' Hcp Chase
DARING PLAN (6) brings the most compelling recent chase form, runner-up at Fontwell over 4347m beaten 1.25L and previously 3rd at Bangor, and gets a light weight. BLACK OCC (4) rates a key chance after a close 3rd at Warwick over 4828m, 2.75L off the winner, and a prior 2nd at Hereford. IT'S A BREEZE (3) has a recent 2nd at Wincanton over 4965m but must rebound from two non-completions. ISLE OF SARK (2) was 3rd at Sedgefield over 4250m in April and holds place claims if repeating that effort.
