For all its a low-grade handicap chase there are a couple here that may be able to progress a little further yet over fences plus a couple for whom handicaps at least give them a chance. SKIPPING ON may well have benefitted from some fences being left out when winning over short here last time out but he travelled well and this trip looks to suit and he escapes a penalty for that win. Wood Pigeon has to be respected on his win last time out but Fakenham and Towcester as very different tracks and The Bay Birch may provide the biggest danger after showing improved form last time. The Lion Dancer should have more to offer now he goes handicapping over fences for the first time.
