Risky Way, Panmure and Alfy Rich are three against the field in a trappy handicap chase and the vote is given to Risky Way. The selection was a fair second behind Loy's Lad last time out and with the step up in trip looking to be in his favour he will be hard to beat. Panmure rates the main danger on his best form as he is well weighted on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Alfy Rich is another worthy of respect on his best form but all his best efforts have been on much softer ground and he may need the run after a 241 day absence. Pavey Ark and Mr Laggan are others to consider but have disappointed of late and for the winner we return to Risky Way who at least is in form.
