Sky Warrior, Lets Go Dutch and Joris De Vonnas look the principals in a trappy handicap chase and the tentative vote is given to Sky Warrior. The selection was a fair third behind the in-form Lyon last time out that form looks solid and off the same mark here in what looks a less competitive race he looks the one to be on. Lets Go Dutch rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Hurlers Cross but he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Joris De Vonnas beat Archway Copse on his latest starts but all his best efforts have come on a slightly softer surface. Donovan is well weighted on his best form but has shown little of late while Green Go may need the run after a 214 day break and for the winner we are happy to return to the fit and in form Sky Warrior.
