Verdict

Point-to-point winner COOL VALLEY can register a first victory under Rules in this novices' handicap chase. The selection ran well when finishing runner-up last time out and can go one better at the chief expense of top weight Romulus Du Donjon who is returning from a break while third place can go to Gentleman James who is making his chase debut in this contest.
  1. Cool Valley
  2. Romulus Du Donjon
  3. Gentleman James
