Superrollercoaster, Blaze Ahead and Forest Miller are three against the field in a competitive handicap chase and the narrow vote is given to Superrollercoaster. The selection won well last time out when beating Dr Mann and although rising in the weights, he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Blaze Ahead rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Jam Packed but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Forest Miller was a fair third behind Passenger Omar last time out but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Of the remainder, Cockspur could improve for the fitting of first-time blinkers but for the winner we return to the progressive Superrollercoaster.
