In depth

Verdict

Colliers Court and Romany Dream have both on their last two starts but this looks tougher for the pair of them and a chance is taken on the chasing debutante One Of Six, who should strip fitter for his recent return over hurdles. Richard Rowe's gelding was a consistent performer over hurdles last term and is entitled to come on for his reappearance effort. Sure to have been well schooled at home, he looks worth a bet to open his account over fences against some moderate types. Colliers Court has won novice handicaps in his last two starts off marks of 83 and 96 so probably needs to improve again but is at least proven over fences, along with Romany Dream who has not beaten much in her two wins. Homer has given little sign of encouragement of late and of more interest may be Jimmy Frost's chasing newcomer Ojays Alibi who was a winner of a novice hurdle at Exeter when last seen in March. He makes more appeal than Master T who has yet to show that he is fully in love with chasing in five starts. Six Of One lacks experience of chasing but his hurdles form gives Richard Rowe's gelding a chance and he gets the vote to make a winning debut over the larger obstacles.
