In depth
Verdict
My Will gets the confident vote to open his account over fences at the first time of asking with Nowator and Il Cavaliere rating the main dangers. The selection was the best of these over hurdles. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and in receipt of the weight for age allowances he is impossible to oppose under conditions that suit. Nowator rates the main danger as he at least has plenty of experience over the larger obstacles and he won well last time when defeating Bernardon. However he will find it hard under his penalty to give weight and a beating to the selection. Il Cavaliere has definite place claims but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle and he took a heavy fall last time out so he can not be backed with any confidence. Another Dude is another making his chasing debut who could go well but his best form over hurdles was over further and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Kids Inheritance is another from an in form yard but he looks very one paced and for the winner we return to the unexposed My Will.
