      Verdict

      Bright Steel,Another Club Royal and Arctic Lagoon look the three to concentre on in this handicap chase and the narrow vote is given to Bright Steel, The selection was a fair second behind Blame The Ref last time out. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this. Another Club Royal rates the main danger as he was travelling well until falling four out last time out. If his confidence has not been effected he will not be far away. Arctic Lagoon is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has disappointed for no apparent reason of late so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Sharp Belline is from a shrewd yard but was let down by her jumping last time and in a race where the market will be very informitive for the winner we return to Bright Steel.
