Bound, Archias and Leophin Dancer look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase and the confident vote goes to Bound. The selection was far better than all these rivals over hurdles he is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Archias rates the main danger he has won twice over hurdles in recent weeks but he still has plenty to find with the selection even on his best form and he will need to improve for the switch to fences to score. Leophin Dancer is another her worthy of respect he was a fair fourth behind Shayadi on his chasing debut and is sure to have learnt from the experience so he has place claims but he will need to have improved significantly to win. Of the remainder Darak has won in the point field and this is much more competitive so for the winner we return to Bound.
