In depth
Verdict
A competitive handicap chase here and the TEAMtalk selection is Mulkev Prince. The eleven-year-old won well at Leicester and held every chance when unseating at Aintree last time out. He has been raised again for that effort but he is in such good form he is hard to oppose. Two Tears looks the main danger having showed improved form when winning last time out at Taunton. However he has a penalty for that win and this looks a tougher race. Suspendid is thrown in on his best form but he has failed to complete the course on his last two starts and he is readily opposed. Jackie C is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form but she has a 344 day absence to overcome and she may come on for this her first run of the season. Swing West and Beggsy's Bullet have shown virtually nothing of late while Beefy Nova will probably need the run after a two year absence.
