Clare Newnam Novices' Handicap Chase
2m 3f 51y
Going: Good to Soft (Good in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneTop Beak won his first two starts this season over hurdles at Fakenham, but he was pulled up at Ludlow last month on his first start since June. He makes his debut over fences here and has conditions in his favour, so could do a lot better if bouncing back to his best. BALRANALD won with more in hand that the one-length margin suggests after being produced late at Sedgefield and he may be able to shrug off an added 5lb, while Spot On Soph could surprise a few if she puts in a clear round.
