Verdict
Master Papa, Flaming Heck and Ton-Chee are shortlisted in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Master Papa. The selection won well last time when beating Mooramana at Bangor. That was a decent contest and he seemed to win with a bit in hand so we are happy to keep on the right side of him again today. Flaming Heck won well at Newcastle back in March but that was on a heavy surface and he is not as good on this fast ground. Ton-Chee has been running consistently well and he again looks to have a solid each-way chance, while King Of The Artic will go close if he is fit enough to do himself justice after being off the track since November. This is a fascinating race and for the winner we will stick with Master Papa.
