Verdict

Returning to handicap company, Pacha Du Polder was third in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter last month when Shuil Royale was pulled up. He races off the same mark here so has obvious claims but BINCOMBE (NAP) has a terrific record on this quicker ground and coped well with the step up in trip here last month in a race in which Forever My Friend failed to complete. Gone Too Far beat Wings Of Smoke at Exeter in May but ran poorly here a few weeks later and hasn't been seen since. However, Bangor second Ballyknock Lad is still unexposed over fences and Optimistic Bias could also improve further while Amigo could bounce back to form at any time.
