Undeniable, Only One Matty and Pavey Ark look the three to concentrate on in this novices' chase and the vote is given to Undeniable. The selection has shown improved form since being switched to the larger obstacles and as he goes on any ground he should take plenty of stopping if he can reproduce his latest effort which saw him finish second behind the highly-regarded First Ballot. Only One Matty would be a danger to all on his hurdling form but he was continually let down his jumping on his chasing bow and for that reason he is taken on. Pavey Ark was a fair second behind Danish Decorum last time and is another with place claims but his best form is over a shorter trip so he is overlooked here. Ask Me What looks the best of the rest but is a touch one-paced and we return to Undeniable, who has an undeniable opportunity to get his head in front.
