In depth
Verdict
A competitive handicap chase with many in with a chance namely Tribal Dancer, Cassia Heights and Luneray with the vote going to the last named. Coming from a yard in form and a winner last time out over course and distance Luneray could hold the answers to a tricky race. He is a hard horse to win with but his form is rock solid and he only needs to perform as he did last time out to land himself in the winners enclosure. Tribal Dancer has not won for over a year now but looks well treated. He has won over course and distance before and comes from a yard having plenty of winners at present so is worth noting in the market. Cassia Heights has won round here before also and came good at Leicester last time out showing he is in good form at present so is worth noting but for the winner we return to Luneray.
