Fernie Chase (Novices' Limited Handicap)

An interesting contest where TREE OF LIBERTY is taken to successfully concede weight to his three rivals and make it 2-3 over fences. He impressed on his Ludlow chase debut and, albeit it beaten by an easy 10L last time, the winner has since franked the form and is now around 6-1 for the Arkle. Chirico Vallis clearly has ability, but jumping has blemished his record so far. If he goes clear this time then he could get seriously competitive again, while Cobra De Mai is very much respected. He is probably one to note in the market after wind surgery, as it may give a hint as to whether the Dan Skelton team feel that he has benefited from that.
