Verdict

Rainbows Aglitter, Lord Youky and Eternal Night look the ones to concentrate on in this novices handicap chase and we will take a chance on Lord Youky. The gelding won well at Uttoxeter when defeating Tirely Storm but was disappointing last time out, however he was let down by his jumping on that occasion but he is sure to have been well schooled and he will be hard to beat with conditions back in his favour. Rainbows Aglitter rates the main danger as he was a good second behind Our Armageddon last time, but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle and for that reason he is opposed. Eternal Night would also have a chance on his best form but he has a 473 day absence to overcome so may just need the run. Of the remainder Freteval has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Lord Youky.
