Walking Sunday, Another Club Royal and Diamond Cottage are three against the field in this competitive handicap chase and the narrow vote is given to Walking Sunday. The selection was a fair fourth in a better race behind Reel Dancer last time out. The return to this shorter trip should suit and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Diamond Cottage rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Brandy Wine but that was over a longer trip and under his penalty he may be venerable to a less exposed type. Another Club Royal is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Johns Legacy in a hunter chase. However he looks to be on a high enough mark for what he has achived and for that reason her is opposed. Of the remainder Tee-Jay is from a yard in form and looks to be on a handy mark on his best form but he disappointed last time so can not be put forward with any confidence and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Walking Sunday.
