Verdict
Perhaps not suited by the slower ground when falling at the final fence last time out Phar From Chance has a chance to redeem himself here on the quicker surface. Previously he had won unchallenged at Newton Abbot and although this is a step up in class he goes well for this conditional jockey. Garolsa is fairly consistent but he has a poor win record and could once again have to settle for minor honours. Coolteen Hero was a decent sort on his day but those days a long behind him now.
