This should be run at a good pace with the penalised Chepstow scorer Harry Beau playing the role of the hare and even with that 6lb penalty he could be dangerous if the field let him get away from them. Doing the chasing will be two sorts who are both improving in Nick Vedder and NICKLAUS with the latter marginally preferred after his run here last time out when things (once again didn’t work out for him. The former of that duo also looked unlucky last time out and looks a major danger with a clear passage this time. Skydiving will come on for his last run and is worth noting for a handicap in the future.
