Verdict
It was a poor Banded stakes race that Little Task won at Nottingham last month and looks tougher so preference is for the reappearing Golden Chance, who gets the vote over Dick The Taxi. The last mentioned has been running well over fences of late and made an encouraging return to the level behind Shape Up at Chester recently. This looks no easier though and, off the same mark as on the Roodeye, the 10-year-old may once again have to settle for minor honours. Top weight Latalomne, a useful chaser on his day, is an interesting runner back on the flat, while Lazzaz who hails from a stable that does well in these races, has been given a chance by the handicapper. Nerys Dutfield's Royal Axminster showed signs of a return to form last time but has an inexperienced rider in the plate, while Michaels Dream, who is partnered by the experienced Sarah Bosley, seems to be in the grip of the handicapper at present. Serena Brotherton partnered Graft when quietly fancied for a similar race at Newmarket last month and it is interesting that she rides stablemate Golden Chance today. Admittedly the lack of a recent run is of concern but the selection is undoubtedly well treated on his best and will almost certainly have been aimed at this for some time by his shrewd handler. Golden Chance gets the vote.
