Verdict
Sett Aside, Charlies Double and Armoury House are three against the field in a tight handicap chase and the narrow nomination is given to Sett Aside. The selection goes well fresh was a fair second behind Grouse Moore when last seen and off his light weight he looks a value bet. Charlies Double rates the main danger on his fourth behind Fair Along last season. Granted he was beaten a fair way but this is a poor race and he has definite place claims. Armoury House won well a couple of runs agao when beating Kaythos over hurdles off a mark of 83. However he switches to fencing off a mark of 75 and he should be watched in the market. Ilongue was a fair third behind Coolers Quest but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Radbrook Hall is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Sett Aside to small stakes.
