Verdict
It could pay to side with KAPPELHOFF in this handicap chase and he is nominated over Kirbys Glen and Majy D'auteuil. The selection loves it round here and he was far from disgraced when finishing third behind Ultimate Limit last time. He has been given a little break since then and he still looks to be on a competitive mark so a bold bid is anticipated. Kirbys Glen is interesting now that he is back in handicap company, and if Tchico Polos goes well earlier in the day then that will give the form of his most recent run a boost. Majy D'auteuil does have ability but he does not have the best completion record and the percentage call would be to take him on. Mr Ironman has been a little disappointing of late but if he is given an aggressive ride from the front then he has proved in the past that he is more than capable of getting in the money. There are plenty in with chances and the vote goes to course regular Kappelhoff.
