Verdict

Iris's Prince, Ashleybank House and Darialann look the three to concentrate on in this beginners¿ chase and the narrow vote is given to Iris's Prince. The selection was well behind Taranis last time out at Cheltenham but this represents a drop in class and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Ashleybank House rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Lambrini Bianco last time but he may have been flattered as the leaders went off very quickly and for that reason he is opposed. Darialann is another worthy of respect especially as the step up in trip looks sure to suit and he should be noted in the market. The remainder have plenty to find and are readily opposed and with this in mind for the winner we return to Iris's Prince.
