Verdict

After finally getting everything right last time we're siding with RAPID INCREASE, in this Novice Handicap Chase, ahead of It's A Discovery and Tokpela. It's softer the better as far as the conditions are concerned for our selection, who put in a really good round of jumping to score with something in hand last time and the seven pound rise in his mark is fair enough. Based on her hurdles form It's A Discovery looks light at the weights if she can get round this time after falling at her only attempt over fences. Tokpela has been well held in eight career starts to date and although conditions don't look ideal this looks her easiest opportunity. Work Boy should be capable of better now down to a useful mark but this race looks a really good chance for Rapid Increase to win again.
