      Verdict

      Mothers Help had the run of the race at Market Rasen to gain her first win in over two-years. That was a soft event and she has much more on here under a penalty. Phar From Chance has failed to complete in three of his seven outings to date over fences and has plenty to prove, but Klondike Charger's run behind Audacter at Fontwell, reads well enough at this level, he has nothing to fear from Haydn James, who continues to make far too many errors to be of interest. The latter's stablemate Bouchasson may be more of a threat. He normally tackles better events than this and can put his poor effort at Worcester behind him, as he normally goes better going right handed. He will be difficult to beat.
