Bet365 Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $64,575

BUCKSY DES EPEIRES (2) was off the mark at the first attempt over fences scoring by 2.5L. Has more to come in this sphere. SEA INVASION (6) was sent off favourite when second of three on chasing debut last month. Can improve. CLASSIC KING (1) gained a first fences victory by 1.75L. May get involved.
