The consistent DUSKY LARK can add to his Wincanton victory last time out by taking this staying handicap chase. The selection was making his debut for the current yard on that occasion and can get the better of Nansaroy who ran well when finishing second last time out while Valley Of Milan can put a heavy fall last time out behind him by claiming third. 1. Dusky Lark 2. Nansaroy 3. Valleyofmilan
