HORSE POWER Trouble Brewing for Kim's rivals in Chepstow Chase

THE Kemble Brewery can make a successful start to his career over fences in the NMS UK Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at Chepstow.

Trainer Kim Bailey, now in partnership with his longtime assistant Mat Nicholls, has never made any secret of the regard in which he holds this sixyear-old and so far he has largely lived up to the billing.

The dual bumper winner was beaten on his hurdling debut at Cheltenham but after spending almost a year on the sidelines afterwards, he showed his class with a couple of low-key victories at Worcester and Ffos Las last autumn.

He was just unfortunate to come up against a talented rival when bidding for his hat-trick at Ludlow, with the winner Meetmebythesea - to whom he was conceding almost a stone in weight - going on to finish a close third in the EBF Final at Sandown.
