Re: Newton Abbot - Tuesday 10th August 3:45 Newton Abbot Elite Land 1pt EW - 11/2 (Skybet) I'm quite sweet on the chances of this one here. Has only had three chase starts to date, winning one and finishing fourth on both other occasions. Last time out over fences he finished 9 lengths behind the winner, but started from a ridiculous position behind the field, even if he is a hold-up horse. Also, note that it was the first time he has tried the horse at 2m2f, and returns to just over 2m today. That previous effort was off the same handicap mark as today and I'm pretty confident in him putting up a good fight. His trainer, Ellison, has sent his horses out chasing 8 times this year, with three wins, three seconds and two fourths, so I'm hoping Elite Land will be in good shape to take this one.
