Colliers Court, Vintage Gold and Seeyaaj look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Colliers Court. The selection won well last time out when beating Macgyver and although having a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Vintage Gold rates the main danger on his latest third behind Crathorne but he was let down by his jumping on that occasion and is taken on with this in mind. Seeyaaj is another that could go well on his latest second behind King Of The Arctic but he is rising up the weights without winning and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, Albarino is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to enthuse about, and for the winner we return to Colliers Court.
