          Verdict

          Follow The Trend, Flinders and En El Em Flyer are the four to concentrate on in this Handicap Chase and we will side with Follow The Trend. The selection is looking for his fourth win on this track, and with conditions to suit, he looks sure to go well. He was slightly disappointing last time when finishing third behind Get The Point but he hit a fence hard that day and never really recovered, and he is better judged on his previous second to Tullons Lane. The only negative would be step up in trip as he never won over this far, but if he stays the trip he will be the one they all have to beat. Flinders will certainly stay this far as he is a course and distance winner but he is an unpredictable sort who can't be backed with any confidence. If he is in the mood though he will not be far away. En El Em Flyer ran better than the bare form suggests when down the field at Uttoxeter last time behind Backscratcher. He is another course and distance winner who has to be respected and he looks to have decent each-way prospects. Of the remainder, Barcham Again and Good Bone are consistent types who are capable of figuring at the finish, but in an open contest we will nominate the course specialist Follow The Trend as the selection.
