Olly Murphy's PLEASINGTON shaped well on his recent chasing bow when third at Wetherby and with this step up in trip a likely plus too he can come out on top in a fascinating novice handicap chase. Kdeux Saint Fray heads the list of dangers on the back of his Cheltenham victory, although the three fencing newcomers all bring lots of potential, not least It's Hard To Know and Captain Butler.
