Amarula Ridge looks weighted to land a second success over fences, Log On Intersky and Cyborg De Sou look to be the main dangers. The Phillip Hobbs trained five-year-old landed a maiden chase at Doncaster back in December and hasn't been beaten far in two handicaps since. With question marks against most of his opponents today he looks the one to be on. Log On Intersky hit winning form last time, staying on well to beat Julies Boy at Market Rasen. With ground and trip once again in his favour he should be involved in the finish. Cyborg De Sou finished third behind the progressive Magico here last time. The drop back in trip shouldn't be too much of a problem and he could run into a place. The pick of the others could be top-weight Super Nomad, but Amarula Ridge looks the pick of the weights this afternoon and gets the verdict.
