In depth
Verdict
Olney Lad,Millenaire and Idle Talk are three against the field in this wide open beginners chase and the tentative nomination is given to Olney Lad. The selection was a fair fourth on his debut this season behind Iris's Gift and although he was well beaten that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with improvement likely he looks the value bet in an open affair. Millenaire rates the main danger on hurdles form. He was a fair fourth when last seen behind Amiceli, is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and he should be closely watched in the market.Idle Talk is another that could go well on his best hurdles form but he disappointed last time out for no apparent reason and he may just need the run after a 207 day absence so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Rich song and Young Murt are from yards in top form and are others to note in the market but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Olney Lad.
