Verdict
Ne M' oubile Pas won in game fashion last time out over this course and distance and despite his penalty he still looks the one to be on as he is more reliable than most of his rivals. Phar From Chance is becoming disappointing as he put in a shoddy round of jumping last time out and found less than expected off the bridle but he still rates a danger in this modest affair. Laazim Afooz looks thrown in on his best form but he tends to run in snatches, however with conditions in his favour and the way he has drooped in the handicap he should go close. Maidstone Monument has been running well of late but he is creeping up the weights and he may be in the handicappers grip now. Of the others Talataath could run well at a fair price if he is fit enough to do himself justice after a break.
