A decent little novice chase and it’s quite a surprise that Paul Nicholls hasn’t won this race since 2012 given his record around here with his novice chasers. DIEGO DU CHARMIL certainly gives him a good chance of going some way to putting the record right after his impressive C&D debut win last month. Three others in the field were useful over hurdles with The Unit having the highest rating of the remainder but he may need further than this 2m and Shantou Rock from a yard that is going well is preferred with Space Oddity adding to the strength in depth in this race; he could put his debut effort to good use here.
