Top weight JANIKA can register his first victory since joining this yard by taking a highly competitive renewal of this valuable handicap chase. The selection has shown good form over further since joining this stable and can get the better of Adrien Du Pont who ran well in a Grade 3 handicap last time out. Third place can go the way of the veteran Highland Lodge who has won over these fences in the past.
