See You There. Dark Ben and Cool Dessa Blues look the three to concentrate on in this chase and the vote is given to See You There. The selection was a good second behind Ever Present last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. Dark Ben rates the main danger on his latest third behind Vicario especially as the step up in trip looks sure to suit and he should be noted in the market. Cool Dessa Blues is another that could go well on his latest second behind Chancers Dante but this best form is on fast ground and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Russian Sky was a fair hurdler at his best and is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut so should;d be noted in the market but See You There sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
