In depth
Verdict
Another competitive field goes to post for this novice handicap chase, and many can be given chances on there best form. See You Around, Bronzesmith and Procedure are all proven in the conditions and are sure to have there supporters but we prefer to stick with Rudi Knight. The gelding from the Venitia Williams yard was a fair third behind the Villager last time out. He is proven on the ground and he will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark. See You Around rates the main danger. He was a good second behind Romantic Hero last time out and a reproduction of that effort would give him definite place claims. Bronzesmith is another worthy of consideration but although he has fair placed form he looks high enough in the weights for what he has achieved over fences. Procedure is at the right end of the handicap and he was a fair third after a long absence last time out if he has improved again he is another that would have definite place claims. Of the remainder Winged Hussar iss from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
