Verdict

This won't appeal as a betting event to many, but it is a fascinating first glimpse at last season's outstanding 2m novice chase FOOTPAD. Big things will be expected this season and it would be a letdown should be fail to maintain his perfect record over fences. Saint Calvados likely suffered from the attentions of Petit Mouchoir in the Arkle at Cheltenham when last spotted and should be able to make the selection work harder this time. The others are tough to fancy, with Tycoon Prince perhaps best-placed to take advantage of any mishaps.
  1. Footpad
  2. Saint Calvados
