Aintree Race 4 - Boodles Rising Stars Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)

The G1 winning NO DRAMA THIS END (3) shaped every inch a potential chaser to date. Things never went to plan at the Cheltenham Festival but besides that he enjoyed a faultless first hurdling campaign. Every chance he can make a winning start in this sphere at G2 level. TALK TO THE MAN (5) is the obvious danger. Beaten here in a G1 hurdle during April then made a fine transition to chasing when a 4.25L winner at Worcester (4000m) seventeen days ago. Expected to kick on from that. TAURUS BAY (6) missed by only a short head at G2 level in January and is another sure to take to this discipline in time. FAVOUR AND FORTUNE (1) rates a solid yardstick in the top handicap hurdles. Talented so it wouldn't be a shock if he were to go close.
