Verdict

The last 5 winners of the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase have gone on to finish first or second at the Festival in March. BARLOVENTO would have been a more convincing winner at Kempton on Boxing Day but for fluffing the last so a 4 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely. The prospect of a stronger pace now moving into a handicap could bring about improvement from Califet En Vol and he can fill the forecast spot ahead of Jordans Cross.
