Verdict

About as strong a novice chase as you could find at this stage of the season with Black Op making his debut over the larger obstacles taking on some hugely promising types. Topofthegame should take high rank in this sphere but this trip could be on the sharp side and WHITE MOON, with fitness guaranteed and off the back of a very promising Cheltenham run, may prove the pick today.
