A low grade novices handicap chase, but it's quite possible that a few of these runners will have more to offer, including the difficult to assess dual point winner The Kings Writ. However, he concedes the best part of two stone to the recent Uttoxeter runner up Clondaw Rigger, so there's every chance that the handicapper has taken few chances with the Richard Woollacott trained runner. Gonnabegood switches to chasing mid-season from a fair mark, and that's a slight surprise, as one might expect that he'd have another race or two in him over hurdles from his current mark, but we'll opt to row in with STEEL NATIVE in the very capable hands of James Bowen. This upwardly mobile seven-year-old stays well and handles cut in the ground, and must figure in the frame at the very least from what is still probably a very handy mark.
