Verdict

A competitive novices' handicap chase with the narrow vote in favour of 5-y-o MOUNT FRISCO. He's really got his act together of late, lining up here on the back of a career-best display over hurdles 16 days ago, and he remains of interest back over fences from this mark. Itwasfate and Dundaniel head up the dangers, whilst the Gavin Cromwell trained-pair Dutch Schultz and Invictus Machin can't be ignored either.

  1. MOUNT FRISCO (IRE)

  3. DUNDANIEL (IRE)
