Verdict
Drybrook Bedouin went close over C&D last month and should make another bold bid here off his current mark. Upham Atom is steadily improving over fences and could figure on his handicap debut, but preference goes to CHOUMAKEUR. He's won two of his four chase starts including a victory over a longer trip here on his latest start when he beat today's rival Skipper's Lad. A 12lb rise in the weights may not be enough to prevent him following up and he gets the vote. Marigold's Way produced a slightly better effort last time but Estates Recovery remains out of form.
