Verdict
A handicap chase that should not take too much winning can go the way of GOLDEN DUCK. Trainer Nick Williams has a good strike rate at the track and also with runners who are racing when fresh. This 10-year-old returns to the racecourse after a 596-day absence, acts with cut and has been dropped 8lb since last seen, so we will chance him. Tegan Lee was going well when a faller at Plumpton on her chase debut and is not ruled out, though she has it to prove with juice in the ground. Rileyev scored in a French bumper on good to soft on debut but has not won since and has plenty to prove, while feather weight Fongoli is exposed, but in a race like this, picking up some money may not be beyond him.
