      Verdict

      Borehill Joker, Rattina and Heartache look the there to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the confident vote is given to Borehill Joker. The selection is well weighted on his best form, has conditions to suit and although he is still prone to making mistakes he need only put in a clear round to score. Rattina rates the main danger as he gave the impression he did not stay three miles when well behind Red Society last time out. The drop in trip will suit but his best form is on better ground and for that reason he is opposed. Heartache is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has failed to complete the course in three of his last four runs so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder My Bold Boyo and Heritage Castle have shown very little of late and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Borehill Joker
