Noblefir, Moor Spirit and Case Of Poteen look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase and the vote goes to Noblefir. The selection won with a little in hand when defeating Moor Spirit last time out and although that rival is better of at the weights here Noblefir is taken to gain his superiority over that rival with conditions in his favour. Moor Spirit looks sure to run well but second may be the best he can hope for. Case Of Poteen is another worthy of respect he showed improved form to be second behind Falchion last time and that form has since been franked but his jumping remains far from fluent and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Oliverjohn has place claims at his best but needs to improve while The Sea Club has shown virtually nothing and is readily opposed and for the winner we return to Noblefir.
