NavanRacecourse.ie Rated Novice Chase
2m 4f
Going: Good to Yielding
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneBUSSELTON has done well since switching to fences during the summer and registered his third win in this sphere when scoring at Punchestown last month. He's a horse who probably wants further but this stiff track will play to his strengths and he can confirm form, on the same terms, with Frontal Assault, who was a close third on chasing debut on that occasion. Ciel De Neige seemed to really enjoy jumping fences when winning over 2m2f at Thurles and the formerly smart handicap hurdler looks a big threat. Velvet Elvis was a dual winner over hurdles and can take a step forward from his C&D fourth on chase debut.
