Another competitive contest for this novices chase and many can be given chances on there best hurdles form and we will take a chance on Dick The Taxi. He was a fair sort over hurdles and if he takes to fences he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Teme Valley has won at this track over hurdles and rates the main danger if he takes to fences but his best form is on faster ground and he will not want any rain. Avebury is another to consider and he at least has experience of fences. He was a good second behind Search And Destroy last time and that rival has since franked the form so he should not be far away. Sound Of Cheers is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Cobbet and the more rain the better for him. Of the remainder Sounds Cool is from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
