Verdict

Dear Villez, Kawagino and Roll Along look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase and the vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair sort over hurdles has the size and scope to make a better chaser and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Dear Villez rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Premier Dane when last seen but he may just need the run after a 657 day break. Kawagino is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Blaeberry but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find sand with this in mind for the winner we return to Roll Along who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
