Champagne Harry, Willie John Daly and By Degree look the three to concentrate on in this beginners chase and the vote is given to Willie John Daly. The selection was slightly disappointing when second behind Out The Black. This right handed track is sure to suit him better and with that run sure to have brought him on he is taken to score. Champagne Harry rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ken'tucky he is another that is sure to have learnt from the experience and this more galloping track is sure to suit. By Degree is another worthy of respect on his hurdles form but he will do well to win this after a 595 day absence. Combat Drinker won a point to point in good style and could be anything so is one to note in the market but for the winner we return Willie John Daly.
