      Verdict

      Rag Week, Mensch and Frentzen look the three to concentrate on in this novices handicap chase and the vote goes to Rag Week. The selection has been in good form all this season and was still going well when falling in a race won by Iron Express. He remains on a fair mark and will like the conditions and if his confidence has not been effected he will be hard to beat. Mensch rates the main danger on his best form but he was let down by his jumping when sent off favourite behind The Merry Mason last time so he can not be backed with any confidence. Frentzen is another that could go well he won well last time out when defeating Jendal and again has his optimum conditions but he will find this harder under his penalty and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Like The Buzz makes his chasing debut off a fair mark and is worth noting in the market with the selection Rag Week as they hail from the same yard.
