      Verdict

      This novices' chase can go the way of Tous Chez; Medison and Nevertika are the others to consider. The selection won well over fences at Carlisle last time when he beat Water Taxi. He is still open to plenty of improvement as that was only his second outing over the bigger obstacles and with ground conditions to suit he looks to have solid claims. Medison won well last time at Kelso and he has a similar profile to our selection. He is another who has conditions to suit and it will be no surprise to see him go close. Nevertika was running well over hurdles towards the end of last season but he may be better for this outing on his return from a break on his chasing debut. Manadam looks the best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with the progressive Tous Chez.
