Verdict
A cracking contest for the track and time of year and most can be given some sort of chance. Rebel Du Maquis bounced back to form at Exeter last month and competes in his first handicap, while Invisible Man confirmed his recent improvement by beating Swing Bill and Commemoration Day at Worcester 10 days ago, though both the second and fifth are better off now and the latter thrives around here. NIKOS EXTRA was always going well when beating Ian Williams' six-year-old at Haydock in March however and, though the latter is better off at the weights now, Alan King's chaser can confirm the form. The Jigsaw Man wasn't disgraced over an inadequate trip at Punchestown last time and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of the consistent Qianshan Leader.
