Chrisjen, Choristar and Riverhill are the three to look at here with Riverhill expected to win the finale. Chrisjen runs for the first time in a handicap after three runs in maidens and handled by the shrewd Mick Easterby and with Adele Rothery, a capable young rider, on board, any market move should be heeded. Chrisjen has shown pace in his races to date and may benefit from a step up in trip. Choristar showed improved form at Lingfield last time when tackling a longer distance and if maintaing that form is a major player here. However he had shown little prior to that and that Lingfield contest may not have been strong. After running well over middle distance trips, Riverhill has run modestly in two outings over shorter distances in his last two starts. However, he is now stepped back up in trip and with his handicap mark dropping, Riverhill can take advantage and take this.
