Verdict

As with most of these veterans’ chases the majority of the runners have plenty of back class with some looking well handicapped. My Old Gold from last year’s winning stable comes here on the back of a C&D victory and looks a danger to all off a 3lb higher mark she won’t be easy to beat. JONNIESOFA is given the vote after he shaped well in the Rowland Meyrick last time and this useful chaser will find this a much easier task. Missed Approach returns from a long absence but he’s still well handicapped if ready to go while the cheekpieces may spark a better performance from Burtons Well.
