Verdict
Ah Yeah is taken to give Kim Bailey a quick double with Runaway Bishop, Miss Wizadora and Reflex Courier looking the most likely to follow the selection home. The 7-year-old is one of the least exposed in the field and has shown enough in two chases to date to make him the one to beat. He is dropped in trip here but on what looks a fair mark on this his handicap debut over fences he should go well. Runaway Bishop is another taking a drop in trip as he won well last time over 3m when defeating Brave Spirit, but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Miss Wizardora was a fair third behind Tommy Carson last time and is another with definite place claims but consistency is not her strong point and she is passed over. Reflex Courier would eat these for breakfast on his best form and he is another that would go well after his latest fourth behind War Tune but he is not getting any younger at the age of 12, and for the winner we return to the unexposed Ah Yeah.
