Rift Valley is likely to be at short odds for this novices' chase and is impossible to oppose with Bacardi Boy given slight preference for the forecast spot over Itsmyturnnow. A useful performer over hurdles, the son of Good Thyne looks to be at least as good over fences judged by his debut success over Stromness at Exeter. In a different league to his rivals, he should win with the minimum of fuss. Winning hunter chaser Itsmyturnnow has more to do here under a penalty than when winning at Folkestone and Bacardi Boy, a creditable third behind Stand Easy at Uttoxeter last month looks the better bet for silver. The remainder make limited appeal.
