    Verdict

    Tom Sayers, Geeveem and Nykel look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap chase and the vote is given to Tom Sayers. The selection has been in fair form of late and was a fair second behind the well handicapped Abragante last time out. That form looks solid and despite top weight he will be hard to beat. Geeveem rates the main danger on his latest third behind Nunephur Collonges but he may just need the run after a 250 day absence and he looks opposable on that basis. Nykel is another that could go well as he hails from a yard in top form, remains well weighted on his best efforts and he should be watched in the market. Korelo is well weighted on his best form but has shown little of late while All In The Stars is often let down by his jumping and Zimbabwe looks weighted up to his best. Tom Sayers is our idea of the winner.
