Verdict
Myson, Get The Point and Brave Caradoc are the three we like in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Myson. The selection ran well when second behind Yesyes on this track last time. He jumped fluently that day and with the slight step up in trip in his favour here, he should take plenty of beating. Get The Point ran well when last seen out in April when narrowly beaten behind Dick The Taxi. He is game and consistent and he goes well fresh so he is worth considering on his seasonal reappearance. Brave Caradoc is another worth considering on the back of his solid effort behind Johann Da Vonnas over this course and distance last time. However, it is not clear whether the ground will suit him so he may be best watched. Gus des Bois won well last time and is another that must enter calculations, but he has a penalty for that win which may find him out. This is a fascinating contest and we will give the vote to Myson.
