Several to consider in this competitive handicap with POST CHAISE taken to defy top-weight. The form of his latest start in this sphere looks solid and he has subsequently performed with credit over hurdles. Deep Charm's jumping hasn't always been foot-perfect but he's hard to knock judged on recent form and is feared most. Cowboy Cooper is also respected, along with Baron Briggs and Camp Belan.
