    Verdict

    A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase and all three runners have a chance at their best but we will take a chance on Wildfield Rufo. The selection won well last time out when defeating Weaver George over course and distance and although he is rising in the weights he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Interdit rates the main danger on his latest win over Primitive Way but that was on heavy ground and this faster ground may just find him out so for that reason he is passed over. Ballinclay King was behind Interdit last time but is better off at the weights here so he should get closer to that rival. However although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle and for the winner we return to Wildfield Rufo.
