    Verdict

    The Stickler, Daldini and Enlightenment look the three to concentrate on in this beginners chase and the vote is given to Daldini. The selection has been in good form of late without winning and was a fair second behind The Entomologist last time out. That form looks solid in the context of this race and under similar conditions here he looks the one to be on. The Stickler rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bagan but his best form is over a slightly longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Enlightenment is another that could go well on his best hurdles form. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and he should be watched in the market. Of the others Another Superman is from a shrewd Irish yard and is another that could go well but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Daldini.
