        Verdict

        MOOR SPIRIT is given the tentative vote to gain victory in this competitive handicap chase with both Or de Grugy and Categorical worth noting. The selection is three pounds higher since catching the eye over course and distance when finishing second to Beggers Cap. He jumped well on the whole and clearly likes a sound surface. With conditions once again in his favour he has to go well. Or de Grugy is another that goes better on good ground. He has some course form to his name and ran well here last time out when third to To Silver Bullet so he warrants respect. As does Categorical who is always consistent and should be in the shake up once again. But for the winner we return to Moor Spirit.
