Aztec Warrior , Phar Bleu and Which Pocket look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase with the vote going to Aztec Warrior. The selection disappointed at Cheltenham last time out but prior to that he had been a good second behind New Little Bric, that form looks rock solid and with this faster ground sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Phar Bleu rates the main danger on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Which Pocket won well last time when beating Highglen and although that rival is better off at the weights he has definite place claims but he has plenty to find on official bhb figures and with this in mind for the winner we return to Aztec Warrior.
