      Verdict

      Royal Shakespear, Twist Magic and Altay look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase and the vote is given to Twist Magic. The selection has reportedly improved for a breathiong operation and although he has a little to find with Royal Shakespear on hurdles ratings he is taken to score as he has more scope for fences than that rival. Royal Shakespear is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and should be noted in the market but he lacks size and is taken on with this in mind. Altay at least has experiance over fences and was a fair second behind Rasharrow last time out but his overqall profile leaves him with a little to find. The remainder have plenty to find on official ratings and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Twist Magic.
