        Verdict

        A typically open handicap where plenty of them come here with chances and although Reveillez has to be considered as one of the likeliest winners, a chance is taken to gain a fair reward with Martin Pipe's enigmatic performer Canada. The Reg Hollinshead-trained Royal Cavalier is another who should not be underestimated as he comes into the race in fair form after a good effort at Doncaster last month. However, Canada has long threatened to land his connections a decent prize in either code of racing and has plenty in his favour as a lively outsider today. The five-year-old found the competition a little hot when he failed to get competitive in the Ebor in his latest start but he is much better than that run would suggest and is better judged on his display in the Old Newton Cup earlier in the season at Haydock. The re-fitting of the visor will help keep his mind on the job today and the Pipe inmate can cause a minor upset if he keeps going to the line today. Reveillez is hard to ignore and is recommended as a saver option but this is a fair bit tougher than his Kempton win and a 3lb penalty makes life a little tougher just for now.
