Verdict

Satco's Deception, Just Reuben and Jim Lad form the shortlist in this handicap chase with the vote given to the last mentioned. The selection was running from out of the handicap when finishing fourth behind Swings 'n Strings at Chepstow last time. He has yet to win a race but he has got some solid place form and he might just be up to landing this moderate affair. Satco's Deception is the obvious alternative as he was only beaten a neck by Ebony Jack here last time and if he reproduces that effort today then he looks sure to make the frame. Just Reuben has a positive jockey booking but he finished behind Satco's Deception last time and there is no obvious reason why the tables will be turned tonight. Monger Lane is too unreliable to recommend and we will stick with Jim Lad as the tentative choice in a poor race.
