    Verdict

    HOLD EM will represent no value for punters but is impossible to oppose in this novice chase with Fal Agh Bagh, Back To Bills and Badger left fighting it out for the forecast. The connections of Hold Em have picked what appears to be an easy opportunity for a win. He was a highly rated handicapper over hurdles and broke his maiden tag over fences back in November. He has been competing at the highest level this season and has been placed in both the Feltham Novice Chase and Racing Post Chase this season. With a clear round he is certain to add to his winning tally. Fal Agh Bagh has run some fair races on a fast surface. He was no match for What A Friend at Stratford and had Badger in front of him last time out and will be only looking at place prize money once again here. Back To Bills is a winner between the flags but has had only two runs under rules and will have to improved on what he has achieved to date. So with a clear round Hold Em is sure to take all the beating.
