In depth
Verdict
College City,On The Forty and Master Henry look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the confident vote is given to College City. The selection won well last time out when beating Deep King and although he has a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper and he will be hard to beat. On The Forty rates the main danger as he had every chance until falling in a race won by Nazimabad. If his jumping holds up he will be a danger to all. Master Henry is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Torongo but this front runner looks sure to set the race up for the selection and for that reason he is opposed. Nazimabad won well last time out but this looks tougher and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder Take The Oath is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to the improving Collage City.
