Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices' Chase (Grade 1)

There's often a concern that a small field brings the possibility of a lack of pace but that seems highly unlikely with several front-runners/prominently ridden horses in the line-up. A chance is taken that BARON ALCO's jumping will put them to the sword here with jockey, Jamie Moore a dab-hand on front-runners. He was in fine form at Plumpton when last seen and it's still early days in this sphere so there should be more to come. Top Notch looks like the obvious danger, going in search of a four-timer but he's unlikely to get it all his own way up front and this is his toughest chase test to date. Le Prezien is the one that could benefit if they go too fast up front and the booking of Barry Geraghty catches the eye. 1. Baron Alco 2. Top Notch 3. Le Prezien
