Browneyes Blue, First Cry and Santando look the three to concentrate on in this beginners chase and the vote is given to First Cry. The selection was a fair sort over hurdles. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and under conditions that suit he need only put in a fluent round of fencing to score. Santando was third behind Quick when last seen over hurdles. He is another that is sure to know his job and with his yard in form he should be watched in the market. Browneyes Blue has been in good form over hurdles of late and is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Ruby Dante if his jumping holds up. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informative but we are happy to side with First Cry.
