Knights Emperor Runner Bean and Lost In Snow are three against the field in this competitive handicap chase and the vote is given to Knights Emperor. The selection has been in good form of late and had every chance until falling last time out. If his confidence has not been effected he will be hard to beat off what remains a fair mark. Runner Bean rates the main danger on his best form as he has dropped to a handy mark but he is prone to braking blood vessels and for that reason he is opposed. Lost in Snow has the ability to go close but he does not always find as much as expected off the bridle and he continues to rise in the weights without winning he looks vulnerable off this mark of the remainder Gipsey Cricketer was a fair third last time out but consistency is not his strong point and for the winner to return to Knights Emperor.
