Vingis Park, Ryders Storm and Sea Ferry look the three to concentrate on in this novices chase with the vote going to Vingis Park. The selection has shown improved form since being fitted with blinkers and looked progressive when beating Isotop last time and with the excellent Liam Heard tasking off a handy five pounds he looks the one to be on. Ryders Storm rates the main danger as he has progressed with each run of late and won well last time when beating Briery Fox . However he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Sea Ferry is another last time out winner that could go well he beat Monty's Tag last time out but that was in a hunter chase and this looks more competitive. Darialann beat Irisis Prince last time but will need to improve to win this more competitive affair and for the winner we return to Vingis Park.
