Verdict

EBORARRY gets the vote but only just ahead of Flaming Heck and Digital Media in a wide open handicap chase. Tim Easterby's charge is a constant visitor to the winner's enclosure but usually and frustratingly, in the places. A solid jumper he has plenty of talent and just hasn't converted that in recent times. However he is now well below the mark he last won off and with out a mistake at the last on his last outing he may well have scored. Of these he looks to be best treated and the long wait for a win could be over. Flaming Heck is a course and distance winner but that came way back in January 2006. He was a winner on his last trip to a racecourse at Hexham over this trip in bottomless ground but he has been raised for that effort and with him so exposed it is difficult to see where the improvement will come from to land this - if he can find the extra though he has chances. Digital Media has flopped on his last two attempts at chasing but got his confidence back with a solid display over hurdles last time. He's off a really competitive mark here and a any sort of return to the performance that had him scoring on his chasing debut in Feburary will have him in the picture. Carrieteau looks like he'll have to wait for relief from the handicapper before scoring but could well place so the vote belongs to Eborarry.
