Verdict

Prince Mahler is on a mission to complete a hat-trick and this may not be any more competitive than the minor races he has plundered on his last two starts. A 7lb penalty and a drop in distance make him a less attractive proposition and Anthony Honeyball's SOULSAVER is preferred. This lightly raced gelding showed significant improvement last time on his handicap debut. It would be hoped that he jumps better over this longer trip and the handicapper has not been harsh. Charlie Parker is a likely outsider who may improve for the conditions whilst Get Home Now is weighted to win this but may need the run.
  1. Soulsaver
  2. Prince Mahler
  3. Get Home Now
