THIRD INTENTION is hard to oppose and his starting price will most likely reflect the fact. He won a chase at Cheltenham in October and though well beaten when third in the King George on Boxing Day, Colin Tizzards' charge should have no problem taking care of these. Lindsay's Dream ran well at this track in December but was tailed off when unseating at Kempton last time while Duaiseoir was already well beaten at Ludlow when refusing at the last fence. Lady From Geneva is winless in eight starts over timber and makes her chasing bow today.
