EMOTIVE deserves a win after his consistent run of placed efforts and he has a good chance in this Handicap Chase although Troodos Jet has claims on the pick of his form and Crofton Arch should go well off bottom weight. In the frame in five starts this terms the pick was only beaten by an easy winner last time out. He races off the same mark again and whilst running this well he has a chance of going in this time. Troodos Jet hasn't always found a great deal when asked the question but did win a couple of starts over Hurdles in the winter. He's run well in defeat in the last few starts so and looks booked to give his running again under the same burden. Crofton Arch grabbed his course and distance win in June but has a bit to prove after his lesser effort off this rating twos starts ago while his last start is ignored as he raced from well outside the handicap. Wesleydale Web has it to prove over fences but is in form over hurdles so might been seen to better effect but with that doubt remaining Emotive should score while on this run of results.
