13/8
Course winner who has been in good form until running poorly on his latest start at Leicester over a shorter trip. This mark looked to give him a tough task last time out and he comes here off the back of that and with doubts about his stamina.

11/10
Has been a smart chaser in the past when trained in Ireland. Drops again in grade but hasn't shown enough in truth of late to be regarded as a solid option.

7/2
Has shown some aptitude for fences (in modest company) and showed than she stayed this trip when winning over hurdles. Was running a sound race last time out when unseating and could well have been placed but faces a stiff task from out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Turban (11/10), He's A Bully (11/8), Oliver's Hill (13/8), Frank N Fair (7/2), Wiesentraum (9/2)

Verdict

A weak handicap with none of the quintet really having a particularly solid profile and this is probably best left to HE’S A BULLY who is the best of a moderate bunch. At some point Wiesentraum will drop to a mark that he can win off again and it would not surprise to see him come back to form here. Oliver’s Hill needs to bounce back from his last run but has run well here before and if his stamina holds out he could well gain a place at least.
  1. He's A Bully
  2. Wiesentraum
  3. Oliver's Hill
