Verdict

With a few of these doubly declared this race could cut up a fair bit but ANTARTICA DE THAIX appeals most. Second to a promising chaser in Mia's Storm at Market Rasen last time out she makes her return to handicap company off what should be a workable mark, and in an easier grade of race. With Paul Nicholls having such a good record at this course, she looks the one to side with as oppose to the progressive Play The Ace, who could improve again but will need to in order to defy a 5lb rise. Kayf Adventure ran poorly on his only start in a handicap chase to date but may prove third best.
  1. Antartica De Thaix
