Verdict

Loulou Nivernais, Alright Now M'Lad and Ross Comm look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap chase and the vote is given to Alright Now M'Lad. The selection won well last time out when beating Go For One, that form has since been franked and despite top weight he looks the one to be on. Loulou Nivernais rates the main danger as he has won his last three races in good style but he is rising in the weights and this looks more competitive sand at liukely odds he is worth opposing. Ross Comm will like conditions but still looks weighted up to his best. of the remainder Theatre Knight is often let down by his jumping while Haut de Gamme yas yet to prove he stays this far and wewith this in mind for the winner we return to Alright Now M'Lad.
