Just Muckin Around is taken to get the better of Runaway Bishop and Magical Harry in this Amateur Riders' Handicap Chase. The selection was a fair third behind Pauntley Gofa last time out at Hereford and in this weak event he should go close with a very capable amateur booked for the ride. Runaway Bishop chased home Political Cruise at Hexham last time but that was on soft ground and although he has won on fast ground he is better with a bit of cut underfoot. Magical Harry was well-backed last time and when he finished second and it will be interesting to see if there is market support for him again tonight. Wild Knight is a course and distance winner and is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Just Muckin Around who looks to have solid claims.
