Verdict
RELAX beat the much higher rated Sybarite when landing a maiden chase at Leicester on Friday. Venetia Williams' charge may be getting off light with only a 7lb penalty here and is taken to follow-up as he ran out an easy winner last time. Humbel Ben has disappointed since a promising fourth at Sedgefield in September, while Wheres Johnny is a standing dish at this track, but he too has gone backwards since runner-up over these fences in January. Alldunnandusted's best recent effort also came at this course and he makes most appeal of the remainder.
