In depth
Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase and many can be given chances on there best form and we will take a chance on Tino. The gelding from the Chris Bealby yard was a good second behind Sir Cumfrence last time out he goes on any ground and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Executive Office rates the main danger on his best form but he was pulled up last time out and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. However if there were a lot of rain he would enter calculations. First Officer was a good second behind Sunday Habits last time and he is another that has definite place claims. The Barge is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market. The remainder need to improve on there latest efforts to score.
