        Verdict

        This is tricky handicap chase for punters to fathom and from a shortlist of HAAR, Double Dizzy and Commemoration Day we will side with Haar. Commemoration Day finished in front of our selection last time but only because Haar unseated his rider. Our selection was still travelling well that day and although he has yet to win over fences, he remains on a competitive mark and it is surely only a matter of time before he opens his account. Commemoration Day is a capable performer on his day but he is far from consistent and although he finished second last time, only two horses finished the race. Double Dizzy ran his best race for a while behind Nudge And Nurdle at Sandown earlier in the month but the simple fact is that he doesn't win as often as he should and the percentage call is to take him on. Royal Wedding was entitled to need the run last time on his seasonal bow and he remains unexposed over fences so he is worthy of consideration. However, we will give the vote to Haar.
