A small field goes to post for this beginners chase and it looks a straightforward opportunity for L¿Aventure to open his account. The gelding, from the Paul Nichols yard, was a good second behind Water Quirl a couple of runs ago before falling last time out. If his confidence has not been effected he will be hard to beat. Mystic Native rates the main danger on his third behind Bee An Bee a couple of runs ago but he disappointed last time on heavy ground and will need the rain to stay away if he is to trouble the selection. Home Made would also have a chance on his best form but he to has fallen on his last two runs and cannot be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Lord Nellsson is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but will have to improve to beat the confident selection, L¿Aventure.
