This is a competitive beginners chase to kick off this seven-race card. The likes of Mormon, Cartwright, Lord Schnitzel (who ran Carefully Selected close over hurdles last season) and Off You Go have futures in the chasing game, but that is likely to be in top-level handicaps. Ontheropes is a fascinating contender after he made a seamless transition to hurdles at Tramore. It speaks volumes that he is sent straight over fences. The same can be said for both Brace Yourself and CAREFULLY SELECTED though. The latter is preferred on this occasion as he has grade one form to his name and could take high-rank in the novice chase division this season.
