Verdict

Kristiansand's recent display of recalcitrance at Musselburgh makes him a shaky option so whilst he needs respect, we'd rather take a chance on FREDDIE THE THIRD who makes his chasing debut today; Brave Broncho and Notre Cyborg make it to the shortlist. The selection makes his seasonal reappearance today and progressed well last season over hurdles, despite not winning a race. That was all about experience as he was always going to be aimed over fences and if the market signs are positive then he can make a winning start over fences. Justheoneforyou is unexposed and could feature, whilst fellow chase debutant Castle Craigs also commands some degree of respect. Go Silver Bullet has the first start for Lucinda Russell today and had some fair form without winning over in Ireland, whilst Jamie's Boy comes across the Irish Sea for this pot. Carthy's Cross is ultra-consistent however his record suggests at more heart-ache for connections, so a bigger danger could be course and distance winner Brave Broncho if he is on a going day. An intriguing Novices' handicap chase and we will side with Freddie The Third.
