Verdict
Another small field for this handicap chase and Osmosis looks the one to be on, Wildfield Rufo and Falchion should be fighting for the place money. The selection hit form this time last year when beating Doe Nal Rua over course and distance. He returned from a long holiday to show his well being with a smooth victory over Burwood Breeze at Haydock last month and as trainer Don Forster has high hopes of him this season, he should be capable of taking this event. Wildfield Rufo has had a little break after showing tremendous form in October when landing two small events at Kelso. He does go well fresh and should give the selection plenty to think about. Falchion has been in hot form this campaign winning three of his four starts, he is still on the upgrade and should be involved in the finish. Only Once and Heidi make up the line up and both need to show improvement to win here, and so we return to Ossmoses who can take this before moving up in class
