WILL BE DONE turned over some better fancied rivals at Market Rasen last time and can follow up that victory at the main expense of Silver By Nature who belied his big price to make a very satisfactory return to action last time. Will Be Done first indicated that he had a fair level of ability at Carlisle on his penultimate start which preceded his UK debut for which he was well backed but showed little. Ridden prominently last time out, he put in an unblemished round of jumping and galloped on resolutely to beat the ultra-frustrating Nine De Sivola. He has at least 10lb in hand on official ratings and should prove too strong for his rivals here. Silver By Nature was set some stiff tasks on occasions last season. He has the size and scope to make a chaser and the beginners chase which he contested at Newcastle looked a decent event with Kealshore Bay, his conqueror highly regarded while Lease Lend, the third placed horse is a smart sort on his day who has yet to show his best over fences. Basoda looks to have reserves of stamina on the evidence of his novice hurdle victory achieved at Catterick last season. He was racing prominently when tipping up a long way from home on his chasing debut last time. He is likely to be more competitive in handicap company while Ragador has more on his plate here than the beginners chase in which he finished second at Sedgefield on his latest start. Will Be Done is given the vote to win it.
