    Verdict

    Laser Hawk, Full Shift and Rock On Rocky are all making their chasing debuts. The former is probably the most interesting of that trio but hasn't raced for almost 12 months. Aso was only beaten a neck at Warwick and has conditions in his favour. Arzal was quite impressive at Ludlow but For Two is proving hard to place and Balgarry weakened quickly when starting favourite at Huntingdon. JAVERT would not have lived with most of these over hurdles but showed that chasing was his game when jumping well for a comfortable victory at Chepstow. The headgear helped him to concentrate and he looks interesting if it works a second time.
