10/3

Bidding to complete a hat-trick following two wins on soft ground at Taunton recently. Races off a mark 5lb higher than for the most recent of those and is likely to run well once more.

Forecasts

Lake Field (9/4), Vocaliser (10/3), Road To Rome (5/1), Master Of Finance (6/1), Admiral's Secret (13/2), Ashoka (12/1), Shininstar (20/1), Master Of Verse (20/1), Over To Midnight (100/1)

LAKE FIELD has been running well since joining this yard and he can record his third win of the season in this handicap chase. The selection ran well despite finishing only third off this mark at Haydock last time and can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Vocaliser who was a winner off a 5lb lower mark last time out. Top weight Ashoka can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by finishing third on his return from a break.
