Old Marsh, Meltonian and Erris Express look the ones to concentrate on in this Beginners chase and the confident vote goes to Old Marsh. The gelding from the bang in form Venitia Williams yard was a fair fourth in a class C hurdle on his last run behind Brooklyn's Gold. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chase debut and if he gets round he will be hard to beat.Meltonian rates the main danger on latest hurdle form he was fourth behind Nathos last time and he will not be far away with conditions to suit. Erris Express has shown virtually nothing over hurdles so will have to improve significantly for the switch to fences, while Sergeant's Inn has a long absence to overcome so the confident vote goes to Old Marsh.
