A fascinating beginners chase but Gordon Elliott has farmed it in recent years and his smart winning hurdler ROMEO COOLIO is impossible to side against starting out in this sphere with the potential to take very high rank in the novice division this season. Henry de Bromhead's fellow chasing newcomer Koktail Divin also brings considerable potential and shouldn't be underestimated, while Where's My Jet and Crescent Moon also need factoring in too.
