Double Mead,Troialini and Prince Broc are three against the field in this competitive handicap chase and the vote is given to Troialani. The selection enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark is stepping up in trip and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Double Mead rates the main danger on his latest second behind First De La Brunie he looks sure to be suited by this slightly shorter trip and should be watched in the market. Prince Broc is another that could go well as he hails from the in-form Alan King yard and was a fair third behind Laredo Sound last time out he is another that looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip and will not be far away. Wizards Dust best form is over three miles while Kikos looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and for the winner we return to Troialini who looks well weighted on his best flat form.
