    Verdict

    I LIKE TO MOVE IT won the Grade 3 Greatwood at Cheltenham and the Grade 2 Kingwell at Wincanton over hurdles last season and could take high rank among this season’s crop of novice chasers. Chasing Fire was certainly no slouch over the smaller obstacles and has also won a point-to-point and a bumper while Pembroke won twice over timber last autumn and ended up running in a Grade 1 at Aintree after finishing runner-up in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham.
