WINSLEY can defy a penalty and land this handicap chase; the list of dangers is headed by Cool Roxy and Pairc Na Gcapal. The selection won well last time when she beat Orfeo Conti at Ludlow and a 7lbs penalty may not be enough to stop her today in her follow-up bid. She has only been out of the money twice in eight starts over the chase fences so she is pretty consistent and she has her optimum ground conditions today. Cool Roxy has been a winner six times over birch and his last win came at this venue back in February. In fact he has won here 11 times, so although he has been a bit disappointing of late, the return to his favourite track might just spark him back into life. Pairc Na Gcapal was a bit disappointing over 3m at Huntingdon last week and he may find today's trip a little on the sharp side. Sprosser has won over the course and distance and he is not without hope, but we will return to Winsley as the one to beat.
