Andy Holding is Back with a NAP from Chepstow.

BLUE BEACH (NAP) (best price 7-2) narrowly failed to make all the running at Market Rasen last time out but with the figures she produced in defeat all pointing towards it being an excellent bid by Mel Rowley’s mare, she can gain compensation against her own sex.
Setting off with a degree of intent at the Lincolnshire venue, the daughter of Kayf Tara had everything at full stretch turning for home and even when headed by the eventual winner on the run down to the last, her never-say-die attitude almost grabbed her the prize she richly deserved.
Nevertheless, she still arrives here in good shape and hailing from a stable who nearly captured Cheltenham glory in the Pertemps Final in the week, the seven-year-old can prove to be small compensation.
