Numero Un de Solzen looks the one to be with in this novices' chase with See You There and Roobihoo others to consider. The selection is a course and distance winner and he is also proven on the ground. He remains relatively unexposed and after a creditable effort back in third behind Bellaney Jewell last time he looks to have rock solid claims today. See You There is interesting as he has already beaten Bellaney Jewell so on that strict form line he has a leading chance. However, he lacks the scope of our selection and the drop in trip is not in his favour. Roobihoo finished a fair third behind Canada Street last time but he is better over a shorter trip and is taken on for that reason. Totally Scottish is difficult to predict but if he was on a going day then he would have to enter calculations, along with Crackadee who was very disappointing last time. However, Numero Un de Solzen has a progressive profile and gets the vote.
