Intersky Falcon will win this novice chase with his arms and tied behind his back and with a blind fold on if he stands up with Luna Crystal and Goldbrook fighting out the minor honors only. Intersky Falcon could not have been more impressive in his jumping when winning over course and distance last month. He has frightened away the opposition today and will only have to score a clear round to win. Luna Crystal has some good hurdle form to his name but is rated a fair way behind the selection but he is more than capable on his day to run a big race. The same can be said for Goldbrook who won at Taunton in the Spring and run some sound races in defeat since. But for the winner we return to Intersky Falcon.
