    Verdict

    A small field goes to post for this novices chase but all the runners can be given some sort of chance and the vote goes to Killy Beach. The selection was a good second on his last run behind The Hearty Joker, that form has since been franked and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Garde Bien rates the main danger on his second behind Ocean Dancer back in November but he has been continually been let down by his jumping of late and for that reason he is opposed. Iron Buck has failed to complete the course on his last two runs and has been beaten in sellers before so he is readily opposed and for the winner we return to Killy Beach.
