      Verdict

      Potentially one of the best Novice Chases to be run in the season thus far. Azertyuiop will be the one everyone will be having their eye on with a look to the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals. Paul Nicholls' smart hurdler reportedly does take some time to get fit and anything he achieves today will surely be surpassed later in the season. He is passed over today in favour of our TEAMtalk selection, Fait Le Jojo. Phillip Hobbs charge produced a delightful round of fencing on his first bow and the form has proved rock solid. If the rain stays away overnight, he may just be able to turn his race fitness to his advantage. Thesius is an exposed chaser in Ireland. The remainder have not shown anything to suggest that they will be up to winning at this level.
