In depth
Verdict
Walking Sunday, Another Club Royal and Diamond Cottage are three against the field in this competitive handicap chase and the narrow vote is given to Walking Sunday. The selection was a fair fourth in a better race behind Reel Dancer last time out. The return to this shorter trip should suit and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Diamond Cottage rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Brandy Wine but that was over a longer trip and under his penalty he may be venerable to a less exposed type. Another Club Royal is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Johns Legacy in a hunter chase. However he looks to be on a high enough mark for what he has achived and for that reason her is opposed. Of the remainder Tee-Jay is from a yard in form and looks to be on a handy mark on his best form but he disappointed last time so can not be put forward with any confidence and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Walking Sunday.
