Verdict

An interesting novices' handicap chase in which a chance is taken on lightly-raced DOCK ROAD. He needs to show the benefit of his return/chase debut effort last month but his form over hurdles last season contained substance and he's very much the type to do better. Naizagai, in first-time blinkers and low-mileage chase debutante Starvoski are a couple of others to consider.

  1. DOCK ROAD (IRE)
  2. NAIZAGAI
  3. STARVOSKI (IRE)
