Verdict

Give Me Love gets the confident vote in this novices chase with Misty Dancer and My World rating main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Opal Ridge and although having a penalty for that win it would have done his confidence the world of good and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again.Misty Dancer rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Medison. However his best form over fences has come on a faster surface and for that reason he is opposed. My World was a fair fourth behind No Full last time and is another with place claims but he was let down by his jumping last time out and for that reason he is passed over. Of the remainder In The Frame is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is more exposed than most and for the winner we return to Give Me Love.
