In depth
Verdict
Another small field for this handicap chase and there must be fitness concerns over two of the runners. Sawpit Supreme hasn't been seen since pulling up at Huntingdon in April while Chestnut Ben has his first start since winning at the same track in March, though was just beaten on his reappearance on heavy ground last season. ANAY TURGE has proved a consistent sort in this grade on soft going this campaign and, though rather harshly raised a couple of pounds since finishing third at Hereford earlier in the month, may be the one to beat as Molko Jack doesn't complete on a regular basis and is still a maiden over fences.
