A competitive field goes to post for this beginners chase but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Fullards, Dickens and Starshipenerprise and the tentative vote is given to Fullards. The selection was a fair second behind Home James last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Dickens rates the main danger on his latest third behind Fireaway but he has plenty of chances in similar races without taking one and for that reason he is opposed. Starshipenterprise showed improved form to be second behind Fireaway last time and is another with place claims but he is far from consistent and he is over looked here. Of the remainder King Of The Light is from a shrewd yard that does well at this track and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Fullards who is progressing well over fences.
