In depth
Verdict
Fiery Peace, Minster Glory and Dick The Taxi look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the tentative vote goes to Fiery Peace. The selection was a good second behind Arctic Spirit last time and if he can reproduce that effort off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Minster Glory rates the main danger on his latest second behind Gone Too Far last time but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Dick The Taxi is another that could go well on his best form but he was pulled up when last seen over fences so can not be backed with any confidence. Of there remainder Measure Of The Man is from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Fiery Peace.
