A decent looking novice chase that may fall to Westender with Ulundi and Master T rated as big dangers. The selection was rated 160 over hurdles but clouted the second fence on his chasing debut when eventually second to River City. Barring that error his jumping was not that bad. He came clear of the others and looked a certain future winner over fences. Ulundi has been busy on the flat recently without any success, but has contested some top hurdle events in his time and looks an interesting recruit to fencing. Master T is a decent jumper and has shown plenty of ability in two handicap chases recently, he looks a certainty for a place at least. Best of the rest could be Optimaite, but class may prevail here and Westender has it in abundance.
