    Race Analysis

    NO QUESTIONS ASKED (3) was a gallant second in the G2 John Francome Novices Chase at Newbury three weeks ago. Might prove hard to beat. STEEL ALLY (1) climbs in grade from the last appearance when he scored at Carlisle in November getting home by 5L. Warrants thought as one of the leading contenders. JAX JUNIOR (2) could continue his fine progress after getting home by 12L. One to take seriously. PUSH THE BUTTON (5) may go one better after finishing second at Wetherby last time out. Plenty to find on ratings but looks set to have a bright future over fences and cannot be ruled out with support in the market.
