    Verdict

    A competitive field for this novice chase but the TEAMtalk selection is Gralmano. The gelding from the bang-in-form Kevin Ryan yard was a fair hurdler and made a pleasing chasing debut at Catterick when defeating Ground Ball. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and he will be hard to beat despite his penalty. Sea Drifting rates the main danger as he was a fair third last time out behind Jungle Jinks. However he is prone to errors and does not always find as much as is expected off the bridle. Rarchnamara is a stable companion of Sea Drifting but looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings. Mumaris was fifth behind Azertyuiop last time out, he will find this easier but he still has plenty to do under his big weight. Indian Venture looks a good chaser in the making but he was let down by his jumping last time out and he will need to improve in that department to score. Of the remainder Garden Party II is game and consistent but he is very one paced.
