Verdict

Diceman has done very little wrong in three chase efforts, and the trip and the trip and going should be ideal for him. Ferrets Hill should be better than he has so far shown so is opposable on that basis. Pendle Hill's chasing form is comparable to Diceman's and, theoretically, they should finish close together. Shining Thyne has the ability to win a novice chase but might find Diceman and Pendle Hill a little too strong. On the face of things, one of those two should win, with Diceman getting the nod. You're Special, twice a winner over hurdles, including here, is interesting but, overall, opposable on his chasing debut.
