A competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Miss Wizadora, Tullons Lane and Beefy Nova and the tentative vote goes to Miss Wizadora. The Nine year old was a good second behind Oneway last time and off the same mark here and with conditions in her favour she will be hard to beat. Tullons Lane shaped as if he was returning to form when fourth behind Smart Guy last time and is on a fair mark but only has one win to his name in 27 starts so is opposed. Beefy Nova is also worthy of respect. He was in front of Tullons Lane last time but there should not be much between them on these revised terms. Fretaval was second behind Lord Youky last time and is another that could go well but his best form is over a longer trip so we will side with Miss Wizadora.
