Towering (6/4), Heroes Or Ghosts (10/3), Zanstra (11/2), Bells Of Ailsworth (15/2), Handsome Sam (9/1), Somerset Lias (11/1), Gold Mountain (20/1), Danvinnie (25/1)
HANDSOME SAM can gain a second career success and a first over fences by take this novices handicap chase for his leading trainer. The gelding finished runner-up off a big weight at Market Rasen earlier this month but was outpaced at times on that occasion and the fitting of the visor here should sharpen him up enough to get the better of Cheltenham hurdle winner Towering who is another to have finished runner-up last time out, this time at Doncaster last month while Gold Mountain can run well for his yard by claiming third place.
1. Handsome Sam
2. Towering
3. Gold Mountain
