Verdict
JUSTTHEONEFORYOU has the form behind him to win this novice chase with both Quicuyo and Mohayer worth noting in the betting market. Although winless to date the selection has some solid form behind him in similar races. With conditions to suit he should not be far away given a clear round of jumping. Quicuyo was rated as high as 125 over hurdles and should be well treated compared to some of his rivals. That said he has not run to that rating in his two chase runs to date, suggesting that he should be treated with some caution. Mohayer won off a mark of 115 over hurdles two years ago and is currently rated as high as 127. He did though take a heavy fall on his chase debut at Carlisle last month and it remains to be seen if his confidence has been knocked.
