Olly Murphy's PLEASINGTON shaped well on his recent chasing bow when third at Wetherby and with this step up in trip a likely plus too he can come out on top in a fascinating novice handicap chase. Kdeux Saint Fray heads the list of dangers on the back of his Cheltenham victory, although the three fencing newcomers all bring lots of potential, not least It's Hard To Know and Captain Butler.

About The Selections
Martin Dixon
Captain Butler I'm expecting this horse to improve this season going over fences. He’s big, good-looking individual who ran well in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last month

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: In a race that lacks confirmed pace-forcers, Inedit Star could get the run of things: Of the better-fancied horses, It's Hard To Know is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
