Verdict

Cresswell Quay gets the vote in this Handicap Chase with Majed and Multi Talented also on the shortlist. The selection has been off the track for 335 days, but if he is fit he will be hard to beat. He has won four of his last five races and is steadily rising in the weights, but the handicapper may not have got his measure just yet. The Peter Bowen yard is in good form at the present time, so the selection looks to have a great chance. Majed could give him the most to do as he was a good third behind Garolsa on this track last month, when he stayed on well despite hitting a fence hard early on in the race. Multi Talented would have chances on his best form but he does look a little high in the weights at present, while Secret Drinker is a course and distance winner who has to be respected, but his win here did come in a weak contest. Of the rest, Here Comes Henry was well beaten behind Tyndarius at Uttoxeter last month and he will have to improve, so we are happy to stick with the game and consistent Cresswell Quay.
