Quite a number of these horses are making their first ever start over fences, and need to step forward from what they've shown over hurdles. War Joey could be a horse to note for handicaps further down the line, whilst Pokora Du Lys is mildly interesting too watch at least after wind surgery. Buckled took a very heavy fall on his last start over fences in January 2017, so with connections seemingly keen to avoid the larger obstacles until now, he's one to be cautious about. Therefore, in a contest which rates as no bet material, small stakes are played on GENERAL MAHLER. His Boxing Day chasing debut at Market Rasen rates as the best form on offer.
