A small but competitive field goes to post for this maiden chase, and the principles look to be Doe Nal Rua, Mister Bigtime and Old Rolla, and the confident vote goes to Doe Nal Rua. The 7-year-old was a good second last time behind Ossmoses, and a reproduction of that effort will make him hard to beat. Mister Bigtime would rate the main danger on his best form and he was fifth in a fair Handicap Chase at Wincanton last time, but he still remains a maiden after 16 attempts. Old Rolla is another that is worthy of respect, but he took a crashing fall last time and that may well have affected his confidence. Changed Times is a challenger from a shrewd yard in Ireland so is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Doe Nal Rua.
