A small but competitive field goes to post for this novice chase. Ta Ta For Now, Baccarat, The Tinker and Tipsy Mouse all have chances on there best form. But we prefer to take a chance on the chasing debutante Florries Son. The gelding from the Martin TodHunter yard was rated 124 over hurdles and if he brings that form to this contest he would be hard to beat. Ta Ta For Now has shown a little ability and although he has been disappointing of late he is worthy of consideration he could go well with his yard now back in top form. Baccarat could also go well but he has been bursting blood vessels of late and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Tipsy Mouse is another from a yard in top form but he will have to have improved significantly for the switch to fences to win this on his debut. The remainder appear to have plenty to do on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
