        Verdict

        Another very open handicap and we like the look of Stay Close, with Aggravation and High Chart expected to put up a decent displays. The selection showed plenty of promise on his debut her in December before landing a Wolverhampton maiden earlier this month. As that was only his second ever racecourse outing he is expected to show further progression. Aggravation is from a stable returning to form and put in a solid display last time when third to Our Kes over course and distance, he will be difficult to keep out of the places today. Meanwhile High Chart is chasing a hat-trick following two course victories. He is creeping up the handicap but should still be in there fighting at the death. Recent winners Bogaz and Wiltshire are two others to bear in mind, but Stay Close is open to plenty of improvement and gets the vote
