        Verdict

        Course and distance winner Regal Chance is bound to be a popular choice with backers for this novices' handicap chase and has to be respected. Alan King's gelding run out the five-length winner of a similar contest here last month and, off an 8lb higher mark, has obvious claims. However, he may not represent great value and could be worth taking on. Emma Lavelle's Banjo Hill has slipped to an attractive mark but needs to improve to figure, while Oliver Sherwood's Shannon Quest is unproven over the trip and has shown no indication that the longer distance would suit. With the large majority of the field looking pretty exposed, we take a a chance on the ability of Bankersdraft. Richard Guest's gelding, who was formerly with Ginger McCain, is open to more improvement than most after just nine starts - only three of which have been for current connections - showing signs of ability on his reappearance behind Inch Perfect on his reappearance this term. A faller over three miles here last time, the son of Mazaad has a featherweight 10st to carry and, with the stable continuing in such great form, it would come as no surprise to see him pop up at a big price.
