Mister Friday, Wise Man, and Another Chance are three against the field in this novices chase and the tentative vote goes to Mister Friday. The selection won well last time out in first time blinkers when defeating High Cotton last time and if they work again he will be hard to beat despite his penalty. Wise Man rates the main danger but he has been slightly disappointing of late and he has plenty of weight so for that reason he is opposed. Another Chance is also worthy of respect he was a fair sixth behind Little Big Horse last time and has definite place claims. Of the remainder Super Sammy would have a chance on her best form but has been let down by her jumping of late so for the winner we return to Mister Friday.
