In depth
Verdict
A wide open handicap chase here with many in with chances on their best form including Derringtogher Yank, Over The Storm and Cursing Run and we will take a chance on the last named. The gelding from the bang in form Henry Daley yard won well on his l;ast run last season when defeating Simply The One and off what looks a fair mark and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Derringtogher Yank rates the main danger he was a fair third on his debut this season in a hurdle race behind Chicago Bulls and with the switch to fences sure to be in his favour he will not be far away. Over The Storm is another that could go well despite top weight but he burst a blood vessel on his last run last season and he may be best watched here. Celtic Vision is game on consistent but he continues to rise in the weights for being beaten so is opposed. Of the remainder Swincombe is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Coursing Run.
