Quazar, Celtic Star and Northern Deal are three against the field in this beginners chase and the confident vote goes to Quazar. The selection was the best of these by a long way over hurdles, he is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Celtic Star rates the main danger he was a god second behind River City last time and he will appreciate this longer trip so he will not be far away. Northern Deal is another worthy of respect he is from a yard in top form but he got no further than the first last time and he may be best watched as it is hard to know if his confidence has been affected. Of the remainder Mer Fluffy was a fair sort over hurdles and he is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Quazar.
