Verdict

WOTZIZNAME (NAP) beat higher rated horses than these when landing a novices’ chase at Doncaster and Harry Fry’s charge can go in again back in handicap company today. Bells Of Ailsworth has been raised 10lb for a wide-margin success at Bangor back in December and Regal Flow arrives in good form having won at Wincanton before going close again at Hereford last time. Most of the remainder have struggled recently though Emperor's Choice won a decent handicap at Haydock at the end of last year.
