Polished, Sound Of Cheers and Bob's Buster look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The eight year old has been in the form of his life of late and although he was beaten by Just For Ger last time out he is taken to get back on the winning track with this less testing ground sure to be in his favour. Polished rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating True Rose but he will find this harder under his penalty. Sound Of Cheers was also a last time out winner he defeated Ede'iff last time but this looks more competitive. Of the remainder Reach The Clouds has the ability to win but does not like to use it so for the winner we return to the in form Bob's Buster.
