        Verdict

        Tribal Dispute Escompteur and Wet Lips look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase and the vote is given to Escompteur. The selection was the best of these over hurdles and he is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut. He has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. Tribal Dispute rates the main danger as he has plenty of experience over fences and won well last time out when beating Your Advantage. However he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Wet Lips is another worthy of respect on his best form but he was a very disappointing odds on shot when third behind Seaniethesmugler so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Ameras is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but his over all profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Escompteur.
