A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase and the principals look to be Rag Week, Macgyver and Blazing Hills and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection was a fair fourth behind Twotensforafive last time. He has dropped to a handy mark and under conditions that suit and with the longer trip sure to be in his favour he will be hard to beat,. Rag Week rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tino but he was far from fluent at some of the fences and for that reason he is opposed. Macgyver is another that could go well on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when fifth behind In Discussion and he is not proven over a trip this far so he is over looked on this occasion. Iron Express and Palisander are both well in on their best form but they have been disappointing of late and are others that are not sure to see the trip out so can not be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Blazing Hills
