A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase, and World Wide Web and Lord Maizey are both respected, but we will take a chance on Janiture. The selection ran well when second behind Cameron Bridge at Kempton last month, and she is sure to suited by this slight drop in trip. She jumped really well on that day, and with no ground concerns either, she looks the one to beat. World Wide Web is the principle danger and he won well at Huntingdon last month when defeating Mount Prague. He had the race run to suit on that day, and although he will go well on the ground and will run his race, he may have to settle for place money. Lord Maizey was a big disappointment when a beaten favourite behind Fasgo at Newton Abbot last month. He is certainly capable of much better, and it would be no surprise to see him win, but we are happy to oppose him. Of the rest, Jimmy Tennis, Jaybejay and Tresor Preziniere are all from leading yards so have to be respected, but we are happy to side with Janiture.
