Glasker Mill,Phar Bleu and Mister Quasimodo look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase and the vote is given to the last named. The selection would have won last time but for falling again has conditions to suit and with his yard continuing in good form he looks the one to be on. Glasker Mill rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Dancing Bay but this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and he looks worth taking on at likely odds. Phar Bleu is another that could go well on his latest second behind Don't Push It that form looks rock solid and he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Fair Question is from a yard in form and could go well but he was let down by his jumping last time and is taken on with this in mind. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informitive but for the winner we return to Mister Quasimodo.
