Verdict

Little Jimbob, Schinken Otto and Yankee Holiday should fight out the finish in this handicap chase and we will side with Schinken Otto. The selection ran really well last week over hurdles and he returns to the bigger obstacles today. He is better handicapped over hurdles than fences but he is a better horse over the birch and he looks to have been found a good opportunity here to resume winning ways. Little Jimbob is respected as he won well over hurdles last time when beating Red Sun and he is making his chase debut today. If he jumps well then he could give the selection plenty to think about. Yankee Holiday disappointed last time but his overall record over fences is pretty good and he has solid claims of again making the frame. Kerrys Blade is a course and distance winner and could prove best of the rest, but Schinken Otto has got solid proven form over fences and he gets our vote.
