Verdict

A small but completive field goes to post for this handicap chase. Reach The Clouds, Camp Hill and Pharbeitfromme are all sure to be fancied but we prefer to stick with Dominikus. The gelding from the Ferdy Murphy yard has been in good form of late goes on any ground and he was a fair second behind Broadbrook Lass last time. Reach The Clouds is thrown in on his best form but he continues to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Camp Hill was a fair third behind Allson Silver last time and a reproduction of that effort would give him definite place claims. Pharbeitfrome is another well in but he has been let down by his jumping of late.
