A wide open handicap chase rounds off proceedings. Over Zealous was a good second behind Lucys Lad at Fontwell last time out but he has been raised in the weights for that effort and that may just find him out. Sireric was an all the way winner at Sedgefield last time but he has never won off a mark this high before. Camp Hill was a good second behind To The Future last time out but he ran as if in the handicappers grip. Kung Hei Fat Choi is a former point to point winner but he has been let down by his jumping over regulation fences of late. Lively Dessert ran as if returning to form when fourth behind Master Club Royal at Sedgefield last time. If he were to return to his best he would be hard to beat as he has plummeted in the weights. Cardinal Mark is from a yard in top form and would have a chance on his best form but he has been beset with jumping problems of late.
