Verdict
A couple of these are clear of the rest on today’s terms including My Old Gold. The latter won at this level at Perth last year and went close in a handicap at Cheltenham when last in action in March. But CASABLANCA MIX (NAP) has a fitness edge, having blown away the cobwebs with a second at Chepstow last month, and is taken to defy a penalty for winning a Listed chase at Aintree in December. Really Super landed a Grade 3 handicap over a shorter trip here during the summer and has scored on the Flat since while Chilli Filli ended last season with a facile novice chase win at Ludlow and placed at this level earlier. Both Bit On The Side and Simply Loveleh have plenty to find at the weights.
