Verdict
Claire Dyson has her string firing on all cylinders and GIVEITACHANCE has won his last two starts at Worcester and Wincanton with a bit in hand. Of course, the double penalty could be a factor here but Brendan Powell will give him a good ride and he can complete the hat-trick before the handicapper has his say. Luccombe Chine's victory at Cartmel in August wasn't unexpected and John Quinn's mare should also be thereabouts while prolific pointer Royal Deal isn't highly tried back under Rules. Gwladys Street may be capable of further improvement while Presented and One For Luck have ability. River Purple is another with claims if fully wound-up.
