      Verdict

      Just six runners take part in this handicap chase where Toi Express and Harik could fight out the finish, with the former tipped to come out on top. Philip Hobbs has wasted no time in getting this gelding back on the track after coming to grief at Chepstow on Saturday. He had the race at his mercy before over jumping at the last and paying the penalty. If none the worse for that tumble he should make amends here. The main rival here looks to be Harik who won a couple of modest races at Plumpton and Taunton back in March, and showed his well being with a promising third behind Reach The Clouds a week ago. Of the others Batswing has taken on some top class opponents in the past and if anywhere near his best would give the selection a real fight. But Toi Express , the moral winner on Saturday, is a confident choice
