Verdict

SOJOURN impressed in winning on chase debut last time out and he can maintain his unbeaten record over fences with victory in this competitive looking novices' handicap chase. Shannon Bridge ran well on his first outing over fences and he can register another placed effort by claiming second ahead of the consistent Saint De Vassy who can finish third on his first outing over the larger obstacles.
  1. Sojourn
