The four-year-old Mister Dick made a successful debut over fences at Stratford then found the ground much too lively at Huntingdon and is better than that. Boric hasn't run since December and only had four starts last season. Queen's Bay, unbeaten in four starts between the flags, hasn't done as well over regulation fences but BERTALUS should make a chaser. Twice a point-to-point winner, he won over hurdles at Ayr in February and though finishing last of four on his chasing debut at Hexham last month will have gained plenty from the experience and can gain his first success here.
