Verdict
Ross Comm, Native Daisy and Calon Lan look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Ross Comm. The selection won well on his first run of the season when beating Alcatras and although he has a penalty for that win with plenty in hand and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Native Daisy rates the main danger on his latest second behind Calcot Flyer but he just gave impression he was high enough in the weights and he will need to improve again to win off this mark.Calon Lan is another worthy of respect as he also won well last time out when beating Kind Sir but consistency is not his strong point and for that reason he is opposed. Search And Destroy is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that looks weighted up to the hilt. Of the remainder Flahive's First has dropped to a handy mark and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Ross Comm.
