In depth
Verdict
Croc An Oir, The Pennys Dropped and Moscow Leader look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote goes to Croc On Oir. The selection won well last time out when defeating The Pennys Dropped and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection won with plenty in hand and is taken to win again. The Pennys Dropped still looks the main danger but he will need to improve to win. Moscow Leader is another worthy of respect but he may just need the run after a 126 day absence. Of the remainder Ray Source is on a handy mark and could go well but he has been let down by his jumping of late so can not be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Croc On Oir.
