Naas

A good-class beginners' chase, although the drying ground could have an effect on the field size. ANZADAM is much the highest-rated of these over hurdles, but he'll have to give fences a bit more respect than he did hurdles. He gets narrow preference over Eachtotheirown, who won't mind the ground and could prove hard to peg back if allowed a soft lead. Koktail Brut wants it softer. [Alan Hewison]
