Verdict

A small but competitive field goes to post for this novices chase and if Florries Son's confidence has not been affected by his latest fall he would be hard for Bobayaro to beat. The gelding from the Martin Todhunter yard was very impressive on his chasing debut and he was a much higher rated horse over hurdles than these rivals. The main danger appears to be Bobayaro who won well at Wetherby when defeating Wild Spice. However, he will find this much more difficult under his penalty. 0f the remainder, Just Barney Boy has shown a modicum of ability in points of late and he could run well at a big price.
