Verdict

This looks a cracking novice chase with quite a few options and Le Rocher will do well to maintain his unbeaten record giving weight away all round and he’ll need to brush up his jumping if he’s to take a hand in the finish. Verni did very well last time out over hurdles at Haydock off a break and his hurdles form gives him a real chance here if he takes to fences. RAYVIN BLACK has had a couple of tries over fences now and this test looks ideal after he showed up well when taking the runner-up slot last time out and he’ll be dangerous with a easy lead. Brelan D’As is another to throw into the mix with this test looking more suitable than his two chase starts so far although he does need to show a little more application in a finish.
  1. Rayvin Black
  2. Verni
  3. Le Rocher
