A competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase with many in-form rivals in opposition including Fluff ¿n¿ Puff, Ambience Lady and Deliceo, and we will take a chance on Fluff ¿n¿ Puff. The gelding, from the Jeff King yard, has been in fair form of late and was a good second behind Magical Bailiwick last time. That form has since been franked and off what still looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Ambience Lady rates the main danger on her best form but she was pulled up last time out. However that was in a much better race and she will be more suited to this easier affair. Deliceo is also worthy of respect. He was third behind Billywill last time but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Regal Chance was a fair third behind Russian Gigolo last time and is sure to have come on for the run so he is another that could go well, but in a wide open affair we nominate Fluff ¿n¿ Puff in the hope that the drop in distance does not go against him.
