Herecomestanley, Show Me The River and Jimmys Duky are three against the field in this beginners chase and the vote is given to Herecomestanley. The selection was a fair third behind Ryders Storm last time out, this slightly shorter trip looks sure to suit and he need only run up to that mark to score. Show Me The River rates the main danger on his latest second behind Lucky Duck but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and again he looks vulnerable. Jimmys Ducky is another that could go well on his latest second behind Red Man especially as this longer trip should suit. Of the remainder Kingfisher Sunset is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Herecomesstanley.
