Verdict
Millenium Mag showed improved form on testing ground at Huntingdon last time and has to be respected on that evidence but Frank Jordan's gelding has yet to win since joining his current handler and he is hard to back with any confidence so a chance is taken with Booster Divin, who gets the vote over No More Tom. The last mentioned is less exposed than his opponents after just three starts and the Venetia Williams-trained gelding could be of interest on his chasing debut. David Wintle's Narval D'avelot would have claims on the form shown here in November but has yet to win a race after 22 starts so he looks best watched. Michael Scudamore's Mystic King is another lightly raced gelding that has to be considered but, in a tricky and moderate race, it is Booster Divin that gets the verdict. Matt Gingell's gelding has a decent racing weight, has been showing improved form of late over hurdles and could be of interest on his chasing debut.
