Verdict
Jodante, Spring Dawn and Blue Leader look the three to concentrate on in this competitive novices chase and the vote goes to Spring Dawn. The selection has been in fair form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest third behind Alleged Slave would make him hard to beat. Blue Leader has been in good form over hurdles of late and won well last time out when defeating Baningham Blaze if he takes to fences he will be a danger to all. Jodante was a good second on his chasing debut behind The Nomad. He is sure to have learnt from the experience but the drop in trip is not sure to suit and for that reason he is opposed. Yassar was a fair second behind Ziggy's Way last time and is another with place claims. Lambhill Stakes has always looked as if he would make a better chaser than hurdler so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Spring Dawn.
