This looks to be the strongest race on the card and it could fall to Twentytwosilver, Lysander's Quest and Galantos look to be the best of the opposition. Twentytwosilver has been mixing jumps racing with the all-weather to good effect. He landed a decent enough handicap chase at Taunton recently after running well here over twelve furlongs. This trip holds no fears and he looks on a very decent mark. Lysander's Quest finished ahead of the selection here in that Kempton event but isn't expected to confirm the form over this longer distance. However he should still be in the shake up. Galantos disappointed last time out but had previously slaughtered his rivals over a mile and six at Southwell. If returning to that kind of form he will be hard to keep out of the paces. Ulshaw is another to consider for each-way purposes, but Twentytwosilver looks the pick of the weights this afternoon and is a confident choice.
