Vingis Park Balladeer and Jivaty are three against the field in this beginners chase and the vote is given to Vingis Park. The selection was a fair sort over hurdles at his best is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and will be hard to beat under conditions that suit.Baladeer rates the main danger on his best form but he took a heavy fall last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. . Jivaty has the ability to go close on his best form but he has looked a shadow of his formerself of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Diamond Joshua is another with place claims on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out,wehile Kaikovra is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Vingis Park who is sure to have been well schooled and will be hard to beat if he jumps fluently.
