CULM COUNSELLOR has been in good form of late and can register a third win in his last four starts by taking this handicap chase. A winner over hurdles last time the selection should appreciate the good ground forecast today and is taken to get the better of Guerilla Tactics who finished one place behind the selection when third at Newton Abbot last month. Wild Ginger returning from a spell pointing represents an in form stable and is taken to claim third on this occasion.
