In depth

Verdict

A small field goes to post for this novices chase and it should be a straight forward opportunity forOrlando Sunrise if his jumping holds up. The gelding from the Robin Dickin Yard was a fair fourth on his chasing bow behind Pharbeitfromme before taking a fall last time out. If his jumping holds up he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Bassano rates the main danger on form but his best efforts have come over a longer trip and he may not have as much toe as Orlando Sunrise. Cyanara is another that is very one paced and the confident vote goes to Orlando Sunrise.
