An interesting event and, effectively, a three-horses race. These are Just In Time, Comex Flyer and Dantie Boy. Just In Time has won all three of his chase races, and carries penalties as a consequence. Comex Flyer has also won three from three over the larger obstacles, although the latest was a walkover. He gets the weight-for-age allowance. Dantie Boy has not seemed a natural jumper as of yet, something that might make the difference here. Paul Webber has a good eye for future chasers although Duke Of Buckingham, a maiden point-to-point winner, might need the experience at this level. The TEAMtalk selection has to be Comex Flyer from the in-form Paul Nicholls yard.
