Verdict

Killard Point, No Complaint and Professor Hegarty look the three to concentrate on in this novices' chase and the tentative vote is given to Killard Point. The selection was a fair second behind Square Mile last time out. That form looks solid and under conditions that should suit he looks the one to be on. No Complaint rates the main danger on his latest second behind Hero Again but he looked one-paced at the end of that race so the drop in distance has to be a concern. Professor Hegarty was a fair fourth behind Crofton Arch last time and is sure to have come on for the run so he should be watched in the market. Of the remainder, Hi Tech was a moderate third behind Wotashambles last time and could improve for the step-up in trip but he will need to do so to trouble our selection Killard Point.
