Verdict

Potentially an interesting and informative novice chase with Nicky Henderson a three-time winner in this event saddling two with very solid chances. MISTER FISHER get the vote of the two that the trainer saddles having shaped well on his chasing debut splitting a couple of useful rivals. His stablemate Champagne Platinum has winning point-to-point form to his name but this will be a tougher test. Good Boy Bobby looks the main danger therefore having shown a good attitude coupled with a sound jumping technique already. Beakstown and Topofthecotswolds have a little to prove having both disappointed on their most recent outings.
