Verdict

Titchwood's jumping on his chase debut at Ascot left a bit to be desired and, though he has plenty of scope, this test against experienced handicappers may come too soon. Seymour Eric is also a novice but will stay every inch of this trip as will Shaking Hands, who also loves the mud. Stormyisland Ahead won over 3m at Chepstow last month while Count Guido Deiro was still in touch when unseating Adam Wedge at Ascot but we'll give another chance to RELAX. The fact that he's been pulled up three times in a row is hardly a glowing endorsement but little went right form him on his reappearance at Haydock when well backed and he's easing towards a decent mark again.
