Once A Brownie gets the vote in this handicap chase with Spare Change and Big Rob others to consider. The selection looked in need of the run on his first start for six months when fourth behind Millards Lad last time. This quicker surface will suit and he looks to hold really solid claims. Big Rob could only finish in mid-division at Market Rasen last time but this slight drop in trip should suit and he could be seen in a better light this afternoon. Spare Change won well last time when beating Cape Stormer but he does have a penalty for that success and that may just find him out. Willies Way is a far from reliable jumper but if he could put in a clear round then he could get competitive. However, for the winner we will stick with Once A Brownie.
