        Verdict

        Polar Red, Penthouse Minstrel, and Sky Warrior are three against the field in this handicap chase and the confident vote goes to Polar Red. The selection won well last time out when defeating Marked Man in an intermediate chase, he comes back to handicapping on a fair mark and with conditions to suit he will be hard to beat.Penthouse Minstrel rates the main danger he was a good second behind Saffron Sun last time and that form has since been franked but this looks much more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Sky Warrior is another that could go well he defeated Supreme Arrow in good style last time out but that was over a much longer trip and he is not sure to be suited by the drop in distance on this sharp track. Of the remainder Mr Baxter Basics is well in on his best form but he has a 182 day absence to overcome and for the winner we return to Polar Red.
