A Grade 1 with an open feel to it but SALVER has the right blend of stamina for 25f coupled with the class to win a novice at this level so he looks the answer on the back of an excellent staying-on third in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at Cheltenham. Gold Dancer arrives on the back of a smart performance in the Golden Miller Novices' Chase but he could be vulnerable late on, so Jordans Cross is offered as the chief threat at longer odds.

About The Selections
RaceiQ Nap Of The Day
Gold Dancer Made a bold bid to defy top weight in the Jack Richards, when he jumped with typical alacrity. He gained more than 11 lengths with his jumping, and only the winner was stronger in the closing stages, hinting the longer trip here could be with his range.
Alex Scott
Regent's Stroll Superb jumper that should be suited by this step up in trip for last year's winning connections

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Doyen Quest could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Regent's Stroll might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Salver is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Jordans Cross traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts.
